Answer:

$\frac{469}{990}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the repeating digits after the decimal point.

By subtracting the 2 equations eliminates the repeating digits.

let x = 0.47373737.....

Multiply both sides by 100 and 10000, that is

100x = 47.3737... → (1)

10000x = 4737.3737.... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

9900x = 4690 ( divide both sides by 9900 )

x = $\frac{4690}{9900}$ = $\frac{460}{990}$ ← in simplest form

Have many times does 246 go into 6

eduard

None. If you think about it, 246 is greater than 6, so how can fit 246 into 6? Think about it this way . . how many times can you fit an elephant into a garden hose? . . yeah . . you probably can't . . try reposting your question . . and try making more sense of it next time. :)

Power and chain rule (where the power rule kicks in because $\sqrt x=x^{1/2}$ ):

$\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}}\right)'=\dfrac1{2\sqrt{\frac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}}}\left(\dfrac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}\right)'$

Simplify the leading term as

$\dfrac1{2\sqrt{\frac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}$

Quotient rule:

$\left(\dfrac{\cos(2x)}{1+\sin(2x)}\right)'=\dfrac{(1+\sin(2x))(\cos(2x))'-\cos(2x)(1+\sin(2x))'}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

Chain rule:

$(\cos(2x))'=-\sin(2x)(2x)'=-2\sin(2x)$

$(1+\sin(2x))'=\cos(2x)(2x)'=2\cos(2x)$

Put everything together and simplify:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{(1+\sin(2x))(-2\sin(2x))-\cos(2x)(2\cos(2x))}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{-2\sin(2x)-2\sin^2(2x)-2\cos^2(2x)}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{2\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{-2\sin(2x)-2}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=-\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac{\sin(2x)+1}{(1+\sin(2x))^2}$

$=-\dfrac{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}{\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac1{1+\sin(2x)}$

$=-\dfrac1{\sqrt{\cos(2x)}}\dfrac1{\sqrt{1+\sin(2x)}}$

$=\boxed{-\dfrac1{\sqrt{\cos(2x)(1+\sin(2x))}}}$

Find the measure of ∠COB in the figure. answers: A) 24° B) 48° C) 72° D) 132°

jasenka [17]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation: COB and DOA are vertical angles. This means the two of them have the same measure. Because we know the measuremen of DOA, we can easily find the measuremen for COB since these angles are the same, so COB is 48 degrees.

Kate divides 1/2 gallon of water equally among 5 plants.

elixir [45]

Answer: It would be 1/2 divided by 5. In other words 1/2 times 1/5. That equals 1/10. Each plant would get 1/10 of a gallon each. To check you would multiply 1/10 times 5. That equals 1/2
