Tamara says she used the GCF to factor the expression 21x + 56xy as 7(3x + 8xy). Is she correct? Explain.

Answer:

Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

21x=3·7·x;
56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.

A 0.02 N push accelerates a table-tennis ball along a table at 8 m/s2 north. What is the mass of the ball?

photoshop1234 [79]

Force=0.02N=F
Acceleration=a=8m/s^2
Mass=m

According to Newton's second law

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F=ma$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto m=\dfrac{F}{a}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto m=\dfrac{0.02}{8}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto m=0.0025kg$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto m=2.5g$

If DEF=GJH, find each missing measure

Bas_tet [7]

Congruent triangles have equal corresponding sides and angles.

The measure of the side lengths are: $\mathbf{DF = 16m}$ , $\mathbf{JH = 14m}$ and $\mathbf{GJ = 19m}$
The measure of the angles are: $\mathbf{\angle G = 34^o}$ , $\mathbf{\angle J = 41^o}$ and $\mathbf{\angle F = 105^o}$

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{\triangle D EF \cong \triangle GJH}$

$\mathbf{EF = 14m}$

$\mathbf{D E = 19m}$

$\mathbf{GH = 16m}$

$\mathbf{\angle D = 34^o}$

$\mathbf{\angle H = 105^o}$

$\mathbf{\triangle D EF \cong \triangle GJH}$ means that triangles DEF and GHJ are congruent triangles.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{DF = GH}$

This gives

$\mathbf{DF = 16m}$

Also, we have:

$\mathbf{JH = EF}$

This gives

$\mathbf{JH = 14m}$

Also, we have:

$\mathbf{GJ = DE}$

This gives

$\mathbf{GJ = 19m}$

The following angles are also congruent

$\mathbf{\angle F = \angle H}$

This gives

$\mathbf{\angle F = 105^o}$

Also, we have:

$\mathbf{\angle G = \angle D}$

This gives

$\mathbf{\angle G = 34^o}$

The measure of angle J is then calculated using

$\mathbf{\angle J + \angle H + \angle G = 180^o}$

This gives

$\mathbf{\angle J + 105 + 34= 180^o}$

$\mathbf{\angle J + 139= 180^o}$

Subtract 139 from both sides

$\mathbf{\angle J = 41^o}$

Verify the following trigonometric identity: (csc x + cot x)^2 = cos x +1/ 1- cos x

Airida [17]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

As written, the equation is not an identity. Perhaps you want to show ...

(csc(x) +cot(x))² = (cos(x) +1)/(1 -cos(x))

We will transform the left-side expression to the form of the right-side expression.

$(\csc(x)+\cot(x))^2=\left(\dfrac{1}{\sin(x)}+\dfrac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}\right)^2=\dfrac{(1+\cos(x))^2}{\sin(x)^2}\\\\=\dfrac{(1+\cos(x))^2}{1-\cos(x)^2}=\dfrac{1+\cos(x)}{1-\cos(x)}\cdot\dfrac{1+\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}=\boxed{\dfrac{\cos(x)+1}{1-\cos(x)}}$
