Answer:

$a = \frac{u + 3}{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 3 to both sides of the equation:

u = -3a - 3

u (+3) = -3a - 3 (+3)

u + 3 = -3a

Next, divide -3 from both sides of the equation:

(u + 3)/-3 = (-3a)/-3

a = (u + 3)/-3

$a = \frac{u + 3}{-3}$ is your answer.

HELP!! For a right square pyramid, which shape could not be a cross section?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

D. Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

If you cut the pyramid with a plane parallel to the base, a square is obtained. If the plane is perpendicular to the base, you can obtain two different figures; if the plane passes through the vertex, a triangle is obtained, but if it doesn't pass through the vertex, a trapezoid is obtained.

Review the steps of the proof of the identity

astraxan [27]

Answer:

step 2

and then step 3 : the error neutralized the error of step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b)

and because

sin(-b) = -sin(b)

cos(-b) = cos(b)

we have

sin(a - b) = sin(a)cos(-b) + cos(a)sin(-b) =

= sin(a)cos(b) - cos(a)sin(b)

3pi/2 = 270° or -90°.

sin(3pi/2) = sin(270) = sin(-90) = -1

that means, it is the full radius straight down from the center of the circle.

cos(3pi/2) = cos(270) = cos(-90) = cos(90) = 0

so, step 1 is correct :

sin(A - 3pi/2) = sin(A)cos(3pi/2) - cos(A)sin(3pi/2) =

= sin(A)×0 - cos(A)×(-1) (correct step 2)

but as we see, the provided step 2 is incorrect.

it should have been the indicated

sin(A)×0 - cos(A)×(-1)

and NOT the provided

sin(A)×0 + cos(A)×(-1)

step 3 based on the erroneous step 2 should then have been

sin(A)×0 - (1)cos(A)

but instead another error with the sign was made that neutralized the error of step 2 and we got after this second mistake by pure chance the overall correct step 3

sin(A)×0 + (1)cos(A)

so, again, the first error was made in step 2.

but technically, there was also a consecutive error made in step 3 to bring everything back to the correct approach.
