Answer:
(the relation you wrote is not correct, there may be something missing, so I will simplify the initial expression)
Here we have the equation:
We can rewrite this as:
Now we can add and subtract cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) to get:
We can complete squares to get:
and we know that:
cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1
then:
This is the closest expression to what you wrote.
We also know that:
sin(x)*cos(x) = (1/2)*sin(2*x)
If we replace that, we get:
Then the simplification is:
The answer is definitely 2.4>3x
Let t and p represent the numbers of turtles and pelicans, respectively.
... 2p + 4t = 114 . . . . . . . the number of legs is 114
... p + t = 34 . . . . . . . . . the number of animals is 34
Divide the first equation by 2 and subtract the second.
... (2p +4t)/2 - (p +t) = (114)/2 - 34
... t = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Then p = 34 - t = 11
There are 11 pelicans and 23 turtles.
_____
You can get to the same answer by considering the number of legs you would have if all the animals were pelicans. That would be 34*2 = 68. The is 46 fewer legs than there actually are. Each turtle that replaces one of those 34 pelicans adds 2 legs to the total, so to add 46 legs, we must replace 46/2 = 23 pelicans with turtles. That is, there are 23 turtles and 11 pelicans.
I believe it is -7 but I may be misunderstanding the question
The answer is $53
<span>x - age in years
y - total value in dollars
</span>
If the equation is y = 2x + 15, then after 19 years, the value will be:
x = 19
y = 2x + 15
y = 2 * 19 + 15
y = 38 + 15
y = 53
