Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 1960 to 1970, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 29.6 to 38.8.

Let the macaroni and cheese dinner cost $x in 1960.

If a macaroni and cheese dinner cost $0.37 in 1960 and the price of macaroni and cheese increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1960 to 1970, then

$\frac{29.6}{38.8}=\frac{0.37}{x}$

$29.6x=0.37\times 38.8$

$x=\frac{0.37\times 38.8}{29.6}$

$x=0.485$

The macaroni and cheese dinner cost is $0.485 in 1970.

The price of a macaroni and cheese dinner increase from 1960 to 1970 by

$\$0.485-\$0.37=\$0.115\approx \$0.12$

The price of a macaroni and cheese dinner increased by $0.12 from 1960 to 1970.

Therefore the correct option is C.

What are the vertical asymptotes of the function f(x) = the quantity of 2 x plus 8, all over x squared plus 5 x plus 6?

lutik1710 [3]

You'd find the vertical asymptotes by seeing where the denominator equals zero; you can do so by factoring the denominator.
In this case, you can factor the denominator into (x+3)(x+2), so if you set each of those equal to zero you can find the equations of the vertical asymptotes (x=-3 and x=-2).

2 tan 30°<br>II<br>1 + tan- 300

Question:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$

Answer:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= sin(60^{\circ})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$

Required

Simplify

In trigonometry:

$tan(30^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

So, the expression becomes:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + (\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^2}$

Simplify the denominator

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{ \frac{3+1}{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{ \frac{4}{3}}$

Express the fraction as:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2}{\sqrt 3} / \frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{2}{\sqrt 3} * \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{1}{\sqrt 3} * \frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{3}{2\sqrt 3}$

Rationalize

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{3}{2\sqrt 3} * \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2* 3}$

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

In trigonometry:

$sin(60^{\circ}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Hence:

$\frac{2tan30^{\circ}}{1 + tan^2(30^{\circ})}$ $= sin(60^{\circ})$
