The additive property of zero states that when you have any number and add zero to it, your answer will always equal the original number
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount remaining at the end of each hour is 0.85 of the amount at the start of the hour. You want to find the exponent such that ...
... 0.85^x = 0.5 . . . . . x = the number of hours until half is left
... x·log(0.85) = log(0.5) . . . . . take the log to turn it to a linear equation
... x = log(0.5)/log(0.85) ≈ 4.265024
Rounded to the nearest hour, x = 4.
1.
(3/4)^2 = (3/4)* (3/4)
(3/4)*(3/4)= 9/16
Final answer: 9/16
2.
11+6.4= 17.4
Final answer: 17.4
3.
9.5-2.8= 6.7
Final answer: 6.7
So, when we're tasked with things like this, rewriting everything in terms of sine and cosine and combining fractions often trivializes things, so doing just that gives us:

So out expression is 1/cos(x).
