Mathematics
1 answer:
Tatiana [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:     " 1 lb ,  14 oz. " .

_________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

_________________________________________________

Note the exact conversion:    " 16 oz.  =   1 lb.  " .

→  {that is:  " 16 ounces  =  1 pound " .}.

_________________________________________________

  30 oz. * ( 1 lb / 16 oz). =  \frac{30}{16}  lbs. ;

                                      = (30/2) / (16/2)   lbs.

                                      =  (15 / 8) lbs.  ;

_________________________________________________

       1

8 ┌ 15

 <u>   -  8   </u>                          

        7  ;              

______________________

The answer is equal to:  " 1  7/8  lbs. " .  

           →   (1 lb)  + (7/8) (lb).  ;

______________________

 →  (7/8) lb.   =  how many "oz." ??

_______________________

Note the exact conversion:   " 1 lb.   =   16 oz.  " .

_______________________

 →   \frac{7 lb}{8} * \frac{16 oz}{1 lb}  ;

                    =  \frac{7}{8} * \frac{16}{1}  oz.   ;

 →  The "8" cancels to a "1" ; and the "16" cancels to a "2" ;

                   →  {since:  " {16 ÷ 8 = 2 } " ;  

             and:   {since:  " {8 ÷ 8 = 1 } " .

_______________________________________________

 →  So we can rewrite as:  

_______________________________________________                  

                  →  \frac{7}{1} *  \frac{2}{1}  oz. ;

                         =  { 7  *  2 }  oz.  ;

                         =   14  oz.

_______________________________________________

→  So:        

_______________________________________________  

 →   " 30 oz. "  =  " (1 lb)  + (7/8) lb.  "  ;

                        =  "  1 lb. + 14 oz. "  ;

                        =  " 1 lb ,  14 oz. " .

_______________________________________________

        →  The answer is:  " 1 lb ,  14 oz. " .

_______________________________________________

Let us check our answer:

  →   Does:     " 1 lb.  +   14 oz. = ?  30 oz. ? " ;

_______________________________________________

Note the exact conversion:  " 1 lb.  =  16 oz. " .

_______________________________________________

  →   Does:  " 16 oz.   +   14 oz.   =  ?   30 oz. ??  " ;

_______________________________________________

  ₁

  16 oz            

<u>+ 14 oz        </u>    

  30  oz.

_______________________________________________

→   Does:   " 30 oz.  = ?  30 oz. ? "  ??? ;  →   Yes!

_______________________________________________

Hope this helps!

 Best wishes to you in your academic endeavors

I just need no. a please help me to prove this. ​
OleMash [197]

Answer:  see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: A + B + C = π    and         cos A = cos B · cos C

scratchwork:

  A + B + C = π

               A = π - (B + C)

         cos A = cos [π - (B + C)]                              Apply cos

                    = - cos (B + C)                                    Simplify

                    = -(cos B · cos C - sin B · sin C)          Sum Identity

                    = sin B · sin C - cos B · cos C               Simplify

cos B · cos C = sin B · sin C - cos B · cos C               Substitution

2cos B · cos C = sin B · sin C                                        Addition

                     2=\dfrac{\sin B\cdot \sin C}{\cos B \cdot \cos C}                                     Division

                     2 = tan B · tan C

\text{Use the Sum Identity:}\quad \tan(B+C)=\dfrac{\tan B+\tan C}{1-\tan B\cdot \tan C}

<u>Proof LHS → RHS</u>

Given:                              A + B + C = π

Subtraction:                     A = π - (B + C)

Apply tan:                  tan A = tan(π - (B + C))

Simplify:                               = - tan (B + C)

\text{Sum Identity:}\qquad \qquad \qquad =-\bigg(\dfrac{\tan B+\tan C}{1-\tan B\cdot \tan C}\bigg)

Substitution:                        = -(tan B + tan C)/(1 - 2)

Simplify:                               = -(tan B + tan C)/-1

                                            = tan B + tan C

LHS = RHS:   tan B + tan C = tan B + tan C  \checkmark

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,6) and has a slope of 2 ?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 6) into the partial equation

6 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 10 = - 4

y = 2x - 4 ← equation of line
