The student went wrong in Step 3.

After setting each factor equal to 0, the student solved for x wrong in the second equation. To solve for x in the second equation, the student should subtract 10 from both sides. The solutions of the equation would be X = -4 and X = -10.

X + 10 = 0
X + 10 -<em>10 </em>= 0 <em>- 10</em>
X = -10

taurus [48]

We are given that the insect can lift 1.182 x 10^3 times it's own weight. Say that w is weight, so the lift is:

lift = 1.182 x 10^3 * w

 

Assuming that your body weight is 60 kg, therefore you can lift:

lift = 1.182 x 10^3 * 60 kg = 70,920 kg

Simplify to an expression of the form (a sin(θ)).<br> 2sin(/8)2cos(/8)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Your expression equals 2 \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) assuming the problem was to simplify 2\sin(\frac{\pi}{8}) 2\cos(\frac{\pi}{8}) to the form a\sin(\theta).

Step-by-step explanation:

2\sin(\frac{\pi}{8}) 2\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})

2(2)\sin(\frac{\pi}{8})\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})

Let's use the following identity: 2\sin(A)\cos(A)=\sin(2A)

2\sin(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{8})

2 \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) which is comparable to the form a\sin(\theta).

a=2

\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}

How does the volume of a prism change if each dimension of the prism is doubled?
ExtremeBDS [4]
The prism has 3 dimensions. So, if you double the linear sizes ("dimensions") the volume is multiplied by 2^3=8.
