Answer:

Number of trucks = 24

Number of SUVs = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of cars to trucks is 9:4

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

9+4 = 13

Let x = sum of cars and trucks.

There are 54 cars. Therefore,

x = 54 + t trucks

Number of cars = ratio of cars/ total ratio × sum of cars and trucks. This means,

54 = 9/13 × x

9x / 13 = 54

9x = 13 × 54

9x = 702

x = 702 / 9 = 78

x = 54 + t trucks = number of trucks = 78 = 54 + t trucks

t trucks = 78 - 54 = 24

Number of trucks = 24

The ratio of trucks to SUVs is 12:21

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

12 + 21 = 33

Let y = sum of trucks and SUVs

There are 24 trucks. Therefore,

x = 24 + s SUVs

Number of trucks = ratio of trucks / total ratio × sum of trucks and SUVs. This means,

24 = 12 / 33 × y

12y / 33 = 24

12y = 24 × 33

12y = 792

y = 792 / 12 = 66

y = 24 + s SUVs

66 = 24 + s SUVs

s SUVs = 66 - 24 = 42

Number of SUVs = 24

Cos (90-theta) • cosec90-theta) =tano. How?

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

______________________________________________________

TRIGONOMETRY IDENTITIES TO BE USED IN THE QUESTION :-

For any right angled triangle with one angle α ,

$\cos (90 - \alpha ) = \sin \alpha$ or $\sin(90 - \alpha ) = \cos\alpha$

$cosec \: (90 - \alpha ) = \sec\alpha$ or $\sec(90 - \alpha ) = cosec\:\alpha$

SOME GENERAL TRIGNOMETRIC FORMULAS :-

$\sin \alpha = \frac{1}{cosec \: \alpha }$ or $cosec \: \alpha = \frac{1}{\sin \alpha }$

$\cos \alpha = \frac{1}{\sec \alpha }$ or $\sec \alpha = \frac{1}{\cos \alpha }$

______________________________________________________

Now , lets come to the question.

In a right angled triangle , let one angle be α (in place of theta) .

So , lets solve L.H.S.

$\cos (90 - \alpha ) \times cosec(90 - \alpha )$

$=> sin\alpha \times \sec\alpha$

$=> \sin\alpha \times \frac{1}{\cos\alpha }$

$=> \frac{\sin\alpha }{\cos\alpha }$

$=> \tan\alpha$ = R.H.S.

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Proved)

Between which two ordered pairs does the graph of f(x) = 1/2x2 + x – 9 cross the negative x-axis? (–6, 0) and (–5, 0) (–4, 0) an

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Between (-6,0) and (-5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

When it crosses the x axis, it's an x-intercept. To find the x-intercept, set y (aka f(x)) to zero. The solutions to the equation are approximately 3.36 and - 5.36. Since you're finding the negative x-intercept, you only need the negative solution - 5.36. This is in between (-6,0) and (-5,0).
