Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to substitute a by 17 and then just subtract.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Factorise the denominator of the second fraction
y² - 1 = (y - 1)(y + 1) ← difference of squares
To obtain a common denominator
multiply numerator/ denominator of first fraction by (y + 1)
=
-
← subtract numerators leaving the common denominator
= 
= 
=
← cancel common factor (y - 1) on numerator/denominator
= 
Answer:
Wrong: Linear functions, cubic functions
Step-by-step explanation:
Both can decrease. Cubic functions nearly always decrease at some point and, if there is a negative slope, linear functions can decrease as well.
Answer:
1.5887 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
If the time is 13:30, The hour pointer will be between the numbers 1 and 2.
Each number of the 12 number clock is separated by 30 degrees, so the hour pointer is at 45 degrees.
The minute pointer is at 30 minutes, so it is in number 6, being therefore at angle 180.
The angle formed by the pointers will be 180 - 45 = 135 degrees.
We can draw a triangle with both pointers and this angle (image attached)
So, we can calculate the distance between the tip of the pointers (let's call it "d") using law of cosines:
d^2 = 0.7^2 + 1.2^2 - 0.7*1.2*cos(135)
d^2 = 0.49 + 1.44 - (-0.5940) = 2.524
d = 1.5887 cm
