If tanA+sinA=m and tanA-sinA=n.prove that m^2-n^2=4√mn

mash [69]

Let $a=\tan A$ and $b=\sin A$ . Then

$m^2-n^2=(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2=(a^2+2ab+b^2)-(a^2-2ab+b^2)=4ab$

$\implies m^2-n^2=4\tan A\sin A$

and

$mn=(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2$

$\implies4\sqrt{mn}=4\sqrt{\tan^2A-\sin^2A}$

The expression under the square root can be rewritten as

$\tan^2A-\sin^2A=\dfrac{\sin^2A}{\cos^2A}-\sin^2A=\sin^2A\left(\dfrac1{\cos^2A}-1\right)=\sin^2A(\sec^2A-1)$

Recall that

$\sin^2A+\cos^2A=1\implies\tan^2A+1=\sec^2A$

so that

$\tan^2A-\sin^2A=\sin^2A\tan^2A$

and assuming $\sin A>0$ and $\tan A>0$ , we end up with

$4\sqrt{\tan^2A-\sin^2A}=4\tan A\sin A$

so that

$m^2-n^2=4\sqrt{mn}$

as required.

find the area of triangle qpm. round the answer to the nearest tenth. a. 5.2 square units b. 6.3 square units c. 6.5 square unit

viva [34]

Pls. see attachment.

We need to solve for the angles of the smaller triangle in order to solve for the angle of the larger triangle which would help us solve the missing measurement of a side.

Given:

51 degrees.

Cut the triangle into two equal sides and it forms a right triangle. All interior angles of a triangle sums up to 180 degrees.

180 – 51 – 90 = 39 degrees

39 degrees * 2 = 78 degrees.

Angle Q is 78 degrees.

In the bigger triangle, 4.3 is the hypotenuse. We need to solve for the measurement of the long leg which is the opposite of the 78 degree angle.

We will use the formula:

Sine theta = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin(78 deg) = opposite / 4.3

Sin(78 deg) * 4.3 = opposite

4.21 = opposite. This is also the height of the triangle.

Area of a triangle = ½ * base * height

A = ½ * 3units * 4.21units

A = 6.315 square units.

The clubhouse has a water tank from which hikers fill their water jugs before walking the trail. The tank is a 5-gallon cylindri

Xelga [282]

Answer: 19.2 inches would be the most reasonable answer, since the first two is too small, and the last answer would be too tall.

if there was 2 feet of water, it would be 24 inches full. taking 1 gallon out, wouldn't make the difference to make it go up or down much.

If the first chapter of a certain book is 16 pages long and makes up 4% of the book, how many pages does the entire book have?

galina1969 [7]

If 16 pages equal to 4%, how many pages will equal to 100%?

4/100 = 16/x
4x=1600
X= 400

So total pages should be 400.

Please help me and thank you:)

Okay. For these types of problems, you must do order of operations (PEMDAS). Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. Mind you that you do these steps from left to right, and multiplication and division is done from left to right. Same thing with addition and subtraction. With that being said, here are your answers if you do the expressions correctly.
