Multiply each number. Remember that when multiplying a negative and positive number, the outcome will be negative
7 x -5 = -35
-35 x 4 = -140
-140 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The identity in question is
cos(a - b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin(a) sin(b)
so that
cos(a - b) = 12/37 cos(a) + 3/5 sin(b)
Since both a and b lie in the first quadrant, both cos(a) and sin(b) will be positive. Then it follows from the Pythagorean identity,
cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1,
that
cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 4/5
and
sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 35/37
So,
cos(a - b) = 12/37 • 4/5 + 3/5 • 35/37 = 153/185
If y varies directly with x, that means they change at proportion rates. We can define their relationship using a constant k.
y = kx
Plug in what we know to find k.
-3 = 5k
k = -3/5
So:
y = -1 * (-3/5)
y = 3/5
We know that one row contains four units each and there are five rows. To find out the area of the shape, we do:
5 (row) × 4 (units) = 20 units
So the area of the shape is 20 units².
