To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended

No it can not be amended. 3/4 of 50 equals 37.5. While yes, you can not count a half of a person, 35 doesn't even equal 37. So you're still stuck with the answer of no.

Answer:

α = π/3

γ = 2

x = -3π/4, -5π/12, π/4, 7π/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Easiest way to do this is in reverse.

γ sin(2x − α)

Angle sum/difference formula:

γ (cos α sin(2x) − sin α cos(2x))

Distribute:

γ cos α sin(2x) − γ sin α cos(2x)

Matching the coefficients:

γ cos α = 1

γ sin α = √3

Solve the system of equations.  Divide to eliminate γ:

tan α = √3

α is between 0 and π/2, so:

α = π/3

γ = 2

sin(2x) − √3 cos(2x) = 1

Using the identity from before:

2 sin(2x − π/3) = 1

Solving:

sin(2x − π/3) = 1/2

2x − π/3 = π/6 + 2kπ or 5π/6 + 2kπ

2x = π/2 + 2kπ or 7π/6 + 2kπ

x = π/4 + kπ or 7π/12 + kπ

x is between -π and π, so:

x = -3π/4, -5π/12, π/4, 7π/12
