STEP 1
calculate total ounces

= 16 oz/lb * 3 lbs
= 48 ounces


STEP 2
calculate number of bolts; divide total weight (48 ounces) by ounces per bolt

x= number of bolts purchased


x= 48 ounces ÷ 1/15 oz per bolt

x= 48 ÷ 1/15
to divide by fraction; multiply by reciprocal of 1/15

x= 48 * 15/1

x= 720 bolts


ANSWER: He purchased 720 bolts

Hope this helps! :)

1-sin^2x/sinx-cscx <br><br>How do I solve this problem? I keep getting the wrong answer.
Annette [7]

Answer:

-sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x

so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx

it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx

knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx

(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)

now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....

cos^2x

---------------------

(sin^2x - 1)/sinx

notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x

so now it becomes:

cos^2x

--------------

-cos^2x/sinx

because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it

cos^2x          sinx

---------- * ----------------

1                  -  cos^2x

because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1

now the answer is -sinx

F(x) = x^2 -7x +14, g(x) = 4x -9 <br><br> Find (g ° f)(x)
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Set up the composite result function.

g(F(x)) Evaluate g(x2−7x+14)

by substituting in the value of F into g.

g(x2−7x+14)=4(x2−7x+14)−9

Simplify each term.

g(x2−7x+14)=4x2−28x+56−9

Subtract 9 from 56.

g(x2−7x+14)=4x2−28x+47
