Answer:

Compare LHS and RHS to prove the statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a + b + c = 0

We have to show that $ \frac{1}{1 + x^b + x^{-c}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^c + x^{-a}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^a + x^{-b}} = 1$

We take LCM, simplify the terms and compare LHS and RHS. We will see that LHS = RHS and the statement will be proved.

Taking LCM, we get:

$ \frac{(1 + x^c + x^{-a})(1 + x^a + x^{-b}) + (1 + x^b + x^{-c})(x^a + x^{-b} + 1) + (x^b + x^{-c} + 1)(x^c + x^{-a} + 1)}{(1 + x^a + x^{-b})(1 + x^b + x^{-c})(1 + x^c + x^{-a})}  $ = 1

⇒ (1 + x^c + x^{-a})(1 + x^a + x^{-b}) + (1 + x^b + x^{-c})(x^a + x^{-b} + 1) + (x^b + x^{-c} + 1)(x^c + x^{-a} + 1)   = (1 + x^a + x^{-b})(1 + x^b + x^{-c})(1 + x^c + x^{-a})

We simplify each term and then compare LHS and RHS.

Simplifying the first term:

(1 + x^c + x^{-a})(1 + x^a + x^{-b})

= $ x^{c + a} + x^{c - b} + x^c +  1 + x^{-a - b} + x^{-a} + x^{a} + x^{-b} + 1 $

= $ x^{c + a} + x^{c - b} + x^{c} + x^{-a - b} + x^{-a} + x^{a} + x^{-b} + 2  \hspace{5mm} \hdots (A)$

Now, we simplify the second term we have:

$ (1 + x^b + x^{-c})(x^a + x^{-b} + 1)  $

= $ x^{a + b} + 1 + x^{b} + x^{a - c} + x^{-b - c} + x^{-c} + x^{a} + x^{-b} + 1 $

= $ x^{a + b} + x^{b} + x^{a - c} + x^{- c - b} + x^{-c} + x^a + x^{-b} + 2 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (B) $

Again, simplifying (x^b + x^{-c} + 1)(x^c + x^{-a} + 1),

= $x^{b + c} + x^{b - a} + x^b + 1 + x^{-c -a} + x^{-c} + x^c + x^{-a} + 1 $

= $ x^{b + c} + x^{b - a} + x^b + x^{-c -a} + x^{-c} + x^c + x^{-a} + 2 $(C)

Therefore, LHS = A + B + C

= $ x^{c + a} + x^{c - b} + 2x^c + x^{-a - b} + 2x^{-a} + 2x^{a} + 2x^{-b} + x^{a + b} + 2x^b + x^{a - c} + x^{-c -b} + x^{b + c} + x^{b - a} + x^{-c -a} + 6 $

Similarly. RHS

= $ (x^{b + c} + x^{b - a} + x^b + 1 + x^{-c -a} + x^{-c} + x^c + x^{-a} + 1)(x^a + x^{-b} + 1) $

Note that if a + b + c = 0, $ \implies x^{a + b + c} = x^0 = 1 $

So, RHS = x^{c + a} + x^{c - b} + 2x^c + x^{-a - b} + 2x^{-a} + 2x^{a} + 2x^{-b} + x^{a + b} + 2x^b + x^{a - c} + x^{-c -b} + x^{b + c} + x^{b - a} + x^{-c -a} + 6

We see that LHS = RHS.

Therefore, the statement is proved.

Given that G=ab find the percentage increase in G when both a and b<br> increase by 10%
monitta

The percentage change in G is 21 %

<h3>What is Percentage change ?</h3>

Percentage change is defined as the increase or decrease in the value as compared to the original value multiplied by 100.

It is given that

G = ab

when a is increased by 10% the new a will be = 1.1 a

When b is increased by 10% the new b will be 1.1 b

So,

G' = 1.1a *1.1 b

G' = 1.21 ab

G' = 1.21

(G' - G)*100/G = (1.21-1)*100/1

The percentage change is 21 %

Look at the image below.7,120Course se54.Course che3What is the area of the triangle?units
Paladinen [302]
\text{Area of the triangle = 6 unit}^2Explanation:

The triangle is right angled.

The formula for area of the triangle:

\begin{gathered} A\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}bh \\  \\ b\text{ = base} \\ h\text{ = height} \end{gathered}

base = 3

height = 4

substitute the values:

\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the triangle = }\frac{1}{2}\times3\times4\text{ = 12/2} \\ \text{Area of the triangle = 6 unit}^2 \end{gathered}

Which list correctly orders A, B, and C from least to greatest when A= |7|, B = _6, and C = |-5|?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

D. B,C,A

Step-by-step explanation:

A= |7|=7

B= -6

C= |-5|=5

so this means that B<C<A = -6<5<7

so; B,C,A = -6,7,5

Find the exact value
Mnenie [13.5K]

By using properties for <em>trigonometric</em> functions and <em>trigonometric</em> expressions, we find that the <em>exact</em> value of the sine of the angle 5π/12 radians is \frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}.

<h3>How to find the exact value of a trigonometric expression</h3>

<em>Trigonometric</em> functions are <em>trascendent</em> functions, these are, that cannot be described algebraically. Herein we must utilize <em>trigonometric</em> formulae to calculate the <em>exact</em> value of a <em>trigonometric</em> function:

\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos \frac{5\pi}{6} }{2} }

\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos \frac{\pi}{6} }{2} }

\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }{2} }

\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} =  \sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{4} }

\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}

By using properties for <em>trigonometric</em> functions and <em>trigonometric</em> expressions, we find that the <em>exact</em> value of the sine of the angle 5π/12 radians is \frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}.
