Three sections of a fence need to be painted. Each section of the fence is made of 4 equal-sized boards. Alex paints 1/6 of the

fence. Bobby paints twice as much as Alex. Charles paints only 1 board. David paints the rest. Part A: Who paints the largest part of the fence? Part B: What fraction of the fence did he paint?

Part A:

Total boards = 3 sections of 4 boards = 12 boards

Alex paints: 1/6 of 12 boards = 2 boards

Bobby paints: 2 x Alex = 1/3 of 12 boards = 4 boards

Charles paints: 1 board

David paints: 12 - (Alex + Bobby + Charles) = 12 - 7 = 5 boards

-This means that David painted the largest part of the fence

Part B:

The fraction of the fence that David painted = 5 boards /12 total boards = 5/12

What basic trigonometric identity would you use to verify that (sin2x + cos2x)/cosx=secx
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x) cos(2x) = cos2(x) – sin2(x) = 1 – 2 sin2(x) = 2 cos2(x) – 1. Now I am not sure if this is right but I remember another similar formula. Here is the correct formula cot x = cos x / sin x

2 ) ( sin² x + cos² x ) / cos x = sec x

1/cos x = sec x

sec x = sec x

cos² x + sin² x = 1

What is the other solution??
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The other solution is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Break the solution into groups: (x^2+2x)+(-12x-24)

Factor out the x^2 from the first group to get x(x+2)

Factor out the -12 out of the second group to get -12(x-12)

Here we get (x-12)(x+2)

You can see solutions are -2 and 12.

X + 4y = 16<br> -X + 3y = -2 ​
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(8, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 4y = 16 → (1)

- x + 3y = - 2 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term

0 + 7y = 14

7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

x + 4(2) = 16

x + 8 = 16 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 8

solution is (8, 2 )
