Answer:

left box: 25/36
right box: 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you square the binomial (x -a), you get ...

(x -a)² = x² -2ax +a²

Comparing this to your equation, you find that ...

-2a = -5/3 . . . . . . the x-coefficient

a = (1/2)(5/3) = 5/6

So, the number in the right box is 5/6, and the number in the left box is its square, (5/6)² = 25/36.

Filling these in, the equation reads:

x² -5/3x +25/36 = (x -5/6)²

That is, the constant in the squared binomial is half the x-coefficient.

Suppose that the population of a town Increases by 3% each year. the population of the town today is 25,000

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The population of town after 1 year is 25,750 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The rate of increase in the population of town each year = 3 %

The initial population of town = 25,000

Let the population of town after one year = x

So,

The population after n year = initial population × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm n}$

Or, The population after 1 year = 25,000 × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm 3}{100})^{\textrm 1}$

Or, The population after 1 year = 25,000 × $(1.03)^{1}$

Or, The population after 1 year = 25,000 × 1.03

∴ The population after 1 year = 25,750

Hence The population of town after 1 year is 25,750 . Answer

Simplify the left side of equation so it looks like the right side. cos(x) + sin(x) tan(x) = sec (x)

uranmaximum [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider LHS

$\cos(x) + \sin(x) \tan(x) = \sec(x)$

Apply quotient identies

$\cos(x) + \sin(x) \times \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } = \sec(x)$

Multiply the fraction and sine.

$\cos(x) + \frac{ \sin {}^{2} (x) }{ \cos(x) } = \sec(x)$

Make cos x a fraction with cos x as it denominator.

$\cos(x) \times \cos(x) = \cos {}^{2} (x)$

$\frac{ \cos {}^{2} (x) }{ \cos(x) } + \frac{ \sin {}^{2} (x) }{ \cos(x) } = \sec(x)$

Pythagorean Identity tells us sin squared and cos squared equals 1 so

$\frac{1}{ \cos(x) } = \sec(x)$

Apply reciprocal identity.

$\sec(x) = \sec(x)$
