Let's use a for number of days when he shot 50 shots and b for number of days when he shot 100 shots.
We have:
a + b = 20

We also know that he shot total of 1250 shots:
50a + 100 b = 1250

We have two equations. We can solve them for a and b.  Let's rearange first equation for a:
a= 20 - b
We insert this into second equation:
50 * (20 - b ) + 100b = 1250
1000 - 50b + 100b = 1250
50b = 250
b = 5
a = 20 - 5
a = 15

Mark shot 100 shots on 5 days.

lim x rightarrow 0 1 - cos ( x2 ) / 1 - cosx The limit has to be evaluated without using l'Hospital'sRule.
zaharov [31]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=\frac{1-cos(2x)}{1-cos(x)}\\\\\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}(\frac{1-(cos^2{x}-sin^2{x})}{1-cos(x)})\\\\(\because cos(2x)=cos^2x-sin^2x)\\\\\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}(\frac{1-cos^2x}{1-cos(x)}+\frac{sin^2x}{1-cosx})\\\\=\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}(\frac{(1-cosx)(1+cosx)}{1-cosx}+\frac{sin^2x}{1-cosx})\\\\=\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}((1+cosx)+\frac{sin^2x}{1-cosx})\\\\\therefore \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}f(x)=1
