Answer:

20 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If the class decreased by 15%, the students that she has now (17) represents a percentaje of:

100% - 15% = 85%

so<u> the 17 students are 85% of what she had</u>:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

and we are looking for how many students she had 2 years ago, thus we are looking for the <u>100%</u> of students (the original number of studens). If we represent this number by x:

Students         Percentage

      17          ⇒        85%

      x          ⇒        100%

and we solve this problem using the <u>rule of three</u>: multiply the cross quantities on the table( 17 and 100) and then divide by the remaining amount (85):

x = 17*100/85

x = 1700/85

x=20

Verify sin2θ/1+cos2θ =tanθ
Andrej [43]

Answer:

LHS.= Sin 2x /( 1 + cos2x )

We have , sin 2x = 2 sinx•cosx

And. cos2x = 2cos^2 x - 1

i.e . 1+ cosx 2x = 2cos^2x

Putting the above results in the LHSwe get,

Sin2x/ ( 1+ cos2x ) =2 sinx•cosx/2cos^2x

=sinx / cosx

= Tanx

.•. sin2x/(1 + cos2x)= tanx

What is the perimeter of the rectangle? Plato
charle [14.2K]

it depends how long the width and the length is. If the length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm the perimeter will be 18cm. All you have to do is 5 doubled because there 2 sides for the length and 4 doubled because there are 2 sides for the width. I hope I have answered your question. XD
