Answer:

262 books sold

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very vague word problem, but if it truly is just asking the amount of books sold (regardless of music or science), here's how to get the answer:

1. 287+134=421 - first you want to add together the two types of books to get the total amount of books in the store

2. 421-x=159 - create an equation and solve.

3. -x=-262 - follow order of operations and subtract 421 on both sides in order to isolate the variable

4. x=262 - divide each side by -1 to make the variable positive.

If you'd like an easier way, you can just:

1. 421-159=262 - it's easier, but my math teacher would count us wrong if we didn't do equations a specific way. Good luck!

Please someone help me to prove this. ​
morpeh [17]

Answer:  see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the Double Angle Identity: sin 2Ф = 2sinФ · cosФ

Use the Sum/Difference Identities:

sin(α + β) = sinα · cosβ + cosα · sinβ

cos(α - β) = cosα · cosβ + sinα · sinβ

Use the Unit circle to evaluate: sin45 = cos45 = √2/2

Use the Double Angle Identities:   sin2Ф = 2sinФ · cosФ

Use the Pythagorean Identity: cos²Ф + sin²Ф = 1

<u />

<u>Proof LHS → RHS</u>

LHS:                                  2sin(45 + 2A) · cos(45 - 2A)

Sum/Difference: 2 (sin45·cos2A + cos45·sin2A) (cos45·cos2A + sin45·sin2A)

Unit Circle:    2[(√2/2)cos2A + (√2/2)sin2A][(√2/2)cos2A +(√2/2)·sin2A)]  

Expand:        2[(1/2)cos²2A  + cos2A·sin2A + (1/2)sin²2A]

Distribute:              cos²2A   + 2cos2A·sin2A + sin²2A  

Pythagorean Identity:    1 + 2cos2A·sin2A

Double Angle:                1 + sin4A

LHS = RHS:  1 + sin4A = 1 + sin4A   \checkmark
