Answer:

1.14x = 2x

x = (0.12)(1.14)x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to express the data in an equation form:

If <em>x </em>was the number of cases there was in 2000 ⇒<em>currently there are 1.14x </em>cases of measles.

But the question also tells us that the number of cases now is also 2 times what it was in 2000.

So we have that <u>1.14x = 2x</u>

<u />

It also tells us that the number of measles back in 2000 was 12% of what it is now.

<u>x = (.12) 1.14x</u>

<u />

We can't really solve these equations since the problem doesn't give us any more information (I am assuming there was another part of the problem before this one that wasn't written here).

<span>A has earned twice as much as B so: A=2B
B has averaged 50% more than C so: B=C+0.5C
Combined is 220K, So A+B+C=220,000

The last equation can be re-written as:
2B+1.5C+C=220K
AND since A=2B, it can be rewritten again as:
3C+1.5C+C=220K

Now you can get C finally, since B=1.5C you can get B, then to get the average, just divide that by 3 (years) and you should be done.
So B = 60000 for 3 years</span>

The following diagram shows parallel lines cut be a transversal. What is the measure of Angle 2?
Crank
2x + 100 = 5x + 55
3x = 45
x = 15

2(15) + 100 = 130

180-130 = 50

so angle 2 is 50 degrees

Show that sec(x)-tan(x)sin(x)=cos(x)is an identity for any value of x.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Here is one way to show that the left side is identical to the right side.

\sec(x)-\tan(x)\sin(x) = \cos(x)\\\\\\\frac{1}{\cos(x)}-\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}\sin(x) = \cos(x)\\\\\\\frac{1}{\cos(x)}-\frac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \cos(x)\\\\\\\frac{1-\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \cos(x)\\\\\\\frac{\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \cos(x)\\\\\\\cos(x)=\cos(x)\\\\\\

Throughout the entire process, the right hand side stayed the same. When working on identities, it's important to keep one side the same while you transform the other side.

Despite the two sides being identical when simplified, there is the issue of cos(x) being zero in the denominator on the left hand side. Be sure to account for this when forming the domain. No such issue occurs on the right hand side. For instance, the value x = pi/2 leads to a division by zero error when in radian mode. So if I was your teacher, I would revise the "for any value of x" and replace it with something along the lines of "for any x value in the domain".
