By definition, we have that the conversion of a US gallon to liters is given by:
1 liter = 3.78541 gallons
Therefore, we can apply the following rule of three:
1 liter ---------------------> 3.78541 gallons
5100 liters --------------> x
Clearing x we have:
$x = (5100) * (3.78541)

x = 19305.591$
two significant figures:
$x = 19000
$
Answer:
The lung capacity of the blue whale is:
$x = 19000 gallons$

Sin theta+costheta/sintheta -costheta+sintheta-costheta/sintheta+costheta=2sec2/tan2 theta -1

sleet_krkn [62]

$\dfrac{sin\theta + cos\theta}{sin\theta-cos\theta}+\dfrac{sin\theta-cos\theta}{sin\theta+cos\theta}=\dfrac{2sec^2\theta}{tan^2\theta-1}$

From Left side:

$\dfrac{sin\theta + cos\theta}{sin\theta-cos\theta}\bigg(\dfrac{sin\theta+cos\theta}{sin\theta+cos\theta}\bigg)+\dfrac{sin\theta-cos\theta}{sin\theta+cos\theta}\bigg(\dfrac{sin\theta-cos\theta}{sin\theta-cos\theta}\bigg)$

$\dfrac{sin^2\theta+2cos\thetasin\theta+cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}+\dfrac{sin^2\theta-2cos\thetasin\theta+cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}$

NOTE: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

$\dfrac{1 + 2cos\theta sin\theta}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}+\dfrac{1-2cos\theta sin\theta}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}$

$\dfrac{1 + 2cos\theta sin\theta+1-2cos\theta sin\theta}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}$

$\dfrac{2}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}$

$\dfrac{2}{\bigg(sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{cos^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}\bigg)}$

$\dfrac{2sec^2\theta}{\dfrac{sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}-\dfrac{cos^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}}$

$\dfrac{2sec^2\theta}{tan^2\theta-1}$

Left side = Right side <em>so proof is complete</em>

How can you use transformations to graph this<br> function?<br> y=3•7-x+2<br> Explain your steps.

ElenaW [278]

The last two easy transformations involve flipping functions upside down (flipping them around the x-axis), and mirroring them in the y-axis.

The first, flipping upside down, is found by taking the negative of the original function; that is, the rule for this transformation is –f (x).

WHO DOESN'T LOVE MAX POINTS. MAX POINT QUESTION<br> PLS ANSWER THIS TRIGONOMETRY QUESTION

mezya [45]

Answer:

Solution given:

opposite:9

adjacent: 12

$\theta=?$

Relationship between opposite and adjacent is given by tan angle

so

$Tan \theta=\frac{opposite} {adjacent}=\frac{9}{12}$

$Tan \theta=\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta=Tan^{-1}\frac{3}{4}$

$\bold{\theta=36.8°}$

#11.

hypotenuse[h]=11cm

opposite/perpendicular[P]=b cm

adjacent/base[b]=a cm

now

$\theta=62°$

Relationship between height and hypotenuse is given by Sin angle

:.

Sin 62°= $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}=\frac{b}{11}$

doing crisscrossed multiplication

b=Sin 62°*11

:.b=9.71 cm

a) At <u>9</u><u>.</u><u>7</u><u>1</u><u> </u>cm height does the ladder touch the building.

again

Relationship between base and hypotenuse is given by Cos angle

:.Cos 62°= $\frac{base}{hypotenuse}=\frac{a}{11}$

doing crisscrossed multiplication

a=Cos 62°×11

a=5.16cm

b) the distance between the foot of the ladder and the building is <u>5.16cm.</u>

Show work / explain it

aivan3 [116]

Answer:
X 1 = -4,X 2 =12

EXPLANATION:

Determine the defined range
X+6/x=6/x-8,x#0,x#8

Simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
(X+6) x (x-8)=6x

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign
(X-6)x(x-8)-6x=0

Multiply the parentheses
X^2-8x+6x-48-6x=0

Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression
X^2-8x-48=0

Write -8x as a difference
X^2+4x-12x-48=0

Factor out x from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12x-48=0

Factor out -12 from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12(x+4)=0

Factor out from the expression
(x+4)x(x-12)=0

When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0
x+4=0
x-12=0

Solve the equation for x
X=-4
X-12=0
X=-4,x#0,x#8

Check if the solution is in the defined range
X=-4
x=12

The equation has 2 solutions

X 1 = -4,X 2 =12

Hope this helps
