Mrs. Carlyle bought a bag of peanuts for her children. when Philip Joy Brent and Preston came home from school and they each too

k some peanuts from the bag. Phillip took 1/3 of peanuts from the bag Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts. Brent 1/2 of the remaining peanuts. Preston took 10 peanuts there 71 peanuts remaining in the bag. how many peanuts were originally in the bag? how many peanuts in each child take?

Answer:

Total peanut=324

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the peanut=x

Philip took 1/3 of x

Remaining peanut=x-1/3x

=3x-x/3

=2/3x

Joy took 1/4 of the remaining leaving 3/4

Remaining=(3/4)(2x/3)

=6x/12

=1/2x

Brent took 1/2 of those, leaving 1/2

=(1/2)*(1/2x)

=1/4x

Preston took 10

Remaining

1/4x - 10 = 71

1/4x = 81

x=81÷1/4

=81*4/1

x = 324

Total peanut =324

Philip=1/3x

=1/3*324

=108

Remaining 324-108

=216

Joy=1/4 of 216

=54

Remaining

324-108-54=162

Brent=1/2 of 162

=81

Preston=10

Total taken=Philip+joy+Brent+Preston

=108+54+81+10

=253

Total remaining=Total peanut - total taken

=324-253

=71

The missing parts of the table for the function are 49, 1 and 49 respectively

<h3>How to complete the missing parts of the table?</h3>

An exponential function is a type of function which involves exponents. A simple exponential function is of the form y = bˣ

Given:  the exponential function y = (1/7)ˣ

In order to find the missing parts, we have to substitute the relevant values into the function. Thus:

For x = -2:

y = (1/7)ˣ

Substitute x = -2 into the function:

y = (1/7)⁻² = 49

For x = 0:

y = (1/7)ˣ

Substitute x = 0 into the function:

y = (1/7)⁰ = 1

For x = 2:

y = (1/7)ˣ

Substitute x = 2 into the function:

y = (1/7)² = 1/49

The missing part is 49

Therefore, the missing parts of the table are 49, 1 and 49 respectively

Simplify: (sin θ − cos θ)^2 − (sin θ + cos θ)^2 A) −4sin(θ)cos(θ) B) 2 C) sin^2 θ D) cos^2 θ
N76 [4]

Answer:

-4sinθcosθ

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

1. (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

2. (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

3. sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1

(sinθ -cosθ)^2 - (sinθ + cosθ)^2

= sin^2θ - 2sinθcosθ + cos^2θ - (sin^2θ + 2sinθcosθ + cos^2θ)

= sin^2θ + cos^2θ - 2sinθcosθ - (sin^2θ + cos^2θ + 2sinθcosθ)

= 1 - 2sinθcosθ - (1 + 2sinθcosθ)

= 1- 2sinθcosθ -1 - 2sinθcosθ

= - 2sinθcosθ - 2sinθcosθ

= -4sinθcosθ

(Photo attached) Trig question. Thanks in advance! :)
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

  a) cos(α+β) ≈ 0.8784

  b) sin(β -α) ≈ -0.2724

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to go at these. One is to use the sum and difference formulas for the cosine and sine functions. To do that, you need to find the sine for the angle whose cosine is given, and vice versa.

Another approach is to use the inverse trig functions to find the angles α and β, then combine those angles and find find the desired function of the combination.

For the first problem, we'll do it the first way:

  sin(α) = √(1 -cos²(α)) = √(1 -.926²) = √0.142524 ≈ 0.377524

  cos(β) = √(1 -sin²(β)) = √(1 -.111²) ≈ 0.993820

__

a) cos(α+β) = cos(α)cos(β) -sin(α)sin(β)

  = 0.926×0.993820 -0.377524×0.111

  cos(α+β) ≈ 0.8784

__

b) sin(β -α) = sin(arcsin(0.111) -arccos(0.926)) ≈ sin(6.3730° -22.1804°)

  = sin(-15.8074°)

  sin(β -α) ≈ -0.2724
