Which expression is equivalent to cos(1.4x) − cos(0.6x)?
2 answers:
Answer:
A. -2sin(x)sin(0.4x)
Step-by-step explanation:
At x=0, the given expression evaluates to zero.
For x near zero, the given expression is slightly negative. You know this because cos(1.4x) decreases faster than cos(0.6x), so their difference will be negative.
Of the answer choices, you can eliminate C and D because they are not zero at x=0. You can eliminate choice B, because it is positive for values of x near zero. The only viable choice is A:
-2sin(x)sin(0.4x)
___
Of course, a graphing calculator can help you figure this out. See the attachment. The given expression is plotted using a solid red line; the answer choice A is plotted using blue dots.

There are 26 letters in the alphabet, 5 are vowels, therefore, the probability of choosing a vowel the first time is:
and the second time is:
Continuing with this reasoning, we get that the probabilities each time are:
Finally, the probability that you get all vowels is the product of the probabilities:
Writing the above result as a percentage we get:
