She has 47 total
20 are from Europe
some are from Africa,
and some from Asia

how many from Africa? hmm let's say "a"
how many from Asia? hmm let's say "b"

we know that, she has twice as many "a" as she has "b" stamps,
so, whatever "b" is, a = 2 * b, or a = 2b

so.. let us add them together

\bf \begin{array}{llllllll}
20&+&a&+&b&=&47\\
\uparrow &&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
europe&&africa&&asia\\
\downarrow &&\downarrow &&\downarrow \\
20&+&2b&+&b&=&47
\end{array}

solve for "b", to see how many from Asia she has

what's "a"? well, a = 2b , that's how many African ones she has :)

Simplify: cos2x-cos4 all over sin2x + sin 4x
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}=\tan\left(x\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}

Apply formula:

\cos\left(A\right)-\cos\left(B\right)=-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) and

\sin\left(A\right)+\sin\left(B\right)=2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)

We get:

=\frac{-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}{2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\cos\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(\frac{-2x}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(\frac{-2x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(-x\right)}{\cos\left(-x\right)}

=\frac{-\cdot-\sin\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)}

=\frac{\sin\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)}

=\tan\left(x\right)

Hence final answer is

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}=\tan\left(x\right)
