Answer:

144 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are moving at the same speed and start at the same time, they have to go the same distance

That means they will meet in the middle

If they are 72 inches from the right side that means the middle is 72 inches from the right side

The road is 2 times 72 inches

2*72 = 144

144 inches

If tanA+sinA=m and tanA-sinA=n.prove that m^2-n^2=4√mn
mash [69]

Let a=\tan A and b=\sin A. Then

m^2-n^2=(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2=(a^2+2ab+b^2)-(a^2-2ab+b^2)=4ab

\implies m^2-n^2=4\tan A\sin A

and

mn=(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

\implies4\sqrt{mn}=4\sqrt{\tan^2A-\sin^2A}

The expression under the square root can be rewritten as

\tan^2A-\sin^2A=\dfrac{\sin^2A}{\cos^2A}-\sin^2A=\sin^2A\left(\dfrac1{\cos^2A}-1\right)=\sin^2A(\sec^2A-1)

Recall that

\sin^2A+\cos^2A=1\implies\tan^2A+1=\sec^2A

so that

\tan^2A-\sin^2A=\sin^2A\tan^2A

and assuming \sin A>0 and \tan A>0, we end up with

4\sqrt{\tan^2A-\sin^2A}=4\tan A\sin A

so that

m^2-n^2=4\sqrt{mn}

as required.

When you add the same number to each side of an equation, do you always get an equivalent equation? webasign?
CaHeK987 [17]
Yes   you always do.

eg x - 2 = 8

x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2

x = 10  
if we plug x = 10 into the original equation we se  that this fits:-

10 - 2 = 8
