Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to solve this equation -90=-2(6a-3) . As here our variable is a , we will solve it for a. Let us do it step by step

1. Opening the brackets and distribution of -2 inside

-90=-12a+6

2. Subtracting 6 from both sides we get

-90-6=-12a+6-6

-96=-12a

3. Dividing both sides by 12 we get

$\frac{-96}{-12}=\frac{-12a}{-12}$

$a=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sec^2x - tan^2x - 2sinx.cos x.$

Required

Prove

To start with; we open the bracket on the left hand side

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = (sin x - cos x)(sin x - cos x)$

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = (sin x )(sin x - cos x)- (cos x)(sin x - cos x)$

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x -sinx cos x - sin xcos x + cos^2 x$

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x -2sinx cos x + cos^2 x$

Reorder

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x + cos^2 x - 2sinx cos x$

From trigonometry;

$sin^2x + cos^2x = 1$

So;

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x + cos^2 x - 2sinx cos x$

becomes

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = 1 - 2sinx cos x$

Also from trigonometry;

$sec^2x - tan^2x = 1$

So,

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = 1 - 2sinx cos x$

becomes

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sec^2x - tan^2x - 2sinx cos x$

Determine whether the sides given would form an acute, obtuse, or right triangle. 7, 7, 13

Brut [27]

Let a = 7 , b = 7, and c = 13. c is always the biggest number.

Acute Triangle is when $c^2 \ \textless \ a^2 + b^2$

Right Triangle is when $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

Obtuse Triangle is when $c^2 \ \textgreater \ a^2 + b^2$

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because there are six sides and this means that if you want to get an odd number it would obviously take longer.
