Hello,

Here is the demonstration in the book Person Guide to Mathematic by Khattar Dinesh.

Let's assume
P=cos(a)*cos(2a)*cos(3a)*....*cos(998a)*cos(999a)
Q=sin(a)*sin(2a)*sin(3a)*....*sin(998a)*sin(999a)

As sin x *cos x=sin (2x) /2

P*Q=1/2*sin(2a)*1/2sin(4a)*1/2*sin(6a)*....
         *1/2* sin(2*998a)*1/2*sin(2*999a) (there are 999 factors)
= 1/(2^999) * sin(2a)*sin(4a)*...
     *sin(998a)*sin(1000a)*sin(1002a)*....*sin(1996a)*sin(1998a)
 as sin(x)=-sin(2pi-x) and 2pi=1999a

sin(1000a)=-sin(2pi-1000a)=-sin(1999a-1000a)=-sin(999a)
sin(1002a)=-sin(2pi-1002a)=-sin(1999a-1002a)=-sin(997a)
...
sin(1996a)=-sin(2pi-1996a)=-sin(1999a-1996a)=-sin(3a)
sin(1998a)=-sin(2pi-1998a)=-sin(1999a-1998a)=-sin(a)

So  sin(2a)*sin(4a)*...
     *sin(998a)*sin(1000a)*sin(1002a)*....*sin(1996a)*sin(1998a)
= sin(a)*sin(2a)*sin(3a)*....*sin(998)*sin(999) since there are 500 sign "-".

Thus
P*Q=1/2^999*Q or Q!=0 then
P=1/(2^999)

Answer:

The value of given expression is \frac{1}{2^{999}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\cos A\cos 2A\cos 3A...........\cos 998A\cos 999A

where, A=\frac{2\pi}{1999}

Let as assume,

P=\cos A\cos 2A\cos 3A...........\cos 998A\cos 999A

Q=\sin A\sin 2A\sin 3A...........\sin 998A\sin 999A

2^{999}PQ=2^{999}(\cos A\cos 2A.........\cos 999A)(\sin A\sin 2A........\sin 999A)

2^{999}PQ=(2\cos A\sin A)(2\cos 2A\sin 2A)...........(2\cos 998A\sin 998A)(2\cos 999A\sin 999A)

Using the formula, 2\sin x\cos x=\sin 2x, we get

2^{999}PQ=\sin 2A\sin 4A......\sin 1998A

2^{999}PQ=[\sin 2A\sin 4A......\sin 998A][-\sin(2\pi -1000A)][-\sin(2\pi -1002A)]...[-\sin(2\pi -1998A)]             .... (1)

Now,

-\sin(2\pi -1000A)=-\sin(2\pi -1000(\frac{2\pi}{1999}))

-\sin(2\pi -1000A)=-\sin(\frac{2\pi\cdot 999}{1999})

-\sin(2\pi -1000A)=-\sin 999A

So, equation (1) can be written as

2^{999}PQ=[\sin 2A\sin 4A......\sin 998A][\sin 999A\sin 997...\sin A]

2^{999}PQ=\sin A\sin 2A\sin 3A...........\sin 998A\sin 999A

2^{999}PQ=Q

Divide both sides by Q.

2^{999}P=1

Divide both sides by 2^{999}

P=\frac{1}{2^{999}}

Therefore the value of given expression is \frac{1}{2^{999}}.

<span>σ</span> is a symbol for summation that means that it is used to add all the vales of the equation in the range for example taking 0<x<4 and x is an integer so Ď(x - 2)^2= (1-2)^2+(2-2)^2+(3-2)^2 The options were a. Square each value b. Subtract 2 points from each score C. Sum the squared values d. Subtract 22 from each X2 value As we can see above the answer is C. Sum the squared values

Sally's pet grooming business charges $5 per cat and $10 per dog for a pet bath. She earned $550 for pet baths last month. If 20
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

45 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

so she has $550 and she did 20 cats and it costs $5 per cat and 5 x 20 is $100 and $550 - $100 = 450 and 450 divided by 10 ( because it's $10 per dog) is 45.
