Answer:

(identity has been verified)

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify the following identity:

sin(x)^4 - sin(x)^2 = cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

sin(x)^2 = 1 - cos(x)^2:

sin(x)^4 - 1 - cos(x)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

-(1 - cos(x)^2) = cos(x)^2 - 1:

cos(x)^2 - 1 + sin(x)^4 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

sin(x)^4 = (sin(x)^2)^2 = (1 - cos(x)^2)^2:

-1 + cos(x)^2 + (1 - cos(x)^2)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

(1 - cos(x)^2)^2 = 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4:

-1 + cos(x)^2 + 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

-1 + cos(x)^2 + 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4 = cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2:

cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

The left hand side and right hand side are identical:

Answer: (identity has been verified)

If Jenny has 43 apples, and gives 12 to John. How many apples does Jenny have left ?

jonny [76]

Answer:

Well, if Jenny starts out with 43 apples but then gives 12 to John that would leave Jenny with 31 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

43 - 12 = 31

(40 - 10) + (3 - 2)

40 - 10 = 30

3 - 2 = 1

30 + 1 = 31

HELP. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form: The line through (-5, 1)(2, -1).

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line (m) = rise / run

= (1 - -1) / (-5 - 2)

= -2/7

Using the point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -1 = -2/7 (x - 2)

y + 1 = -2/7x + 4/7

y = -2/7x - 3/7 is slope intercept form.

A right rectangular pyramid is sliced vertically (down) at the red line by a plane not passing through the vertex of the pyramid

crimeas [40]

The cross-section of a right rectangular pyramid will be shaped similar to the base, that is, a rectangle. Hence, 4th option is the right choice.

If the peak of the rectangular pyramid is directly above the center of the base, it creates a perpendicular to the base, indicating the height of the pyramid. This type of rectangular pyramid is known as the right rectangular pyramid.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral, that is a closed figure with 4 line segments, with all four interior angles at 90°.

When we slice a right rectangular pyramid vertically down at the red line by a plane, not passing through the vertex, of the pyramid will be a dilated image of its base.

A dilated image is an enlarged or diminished image of the preimage, similar with all angles.

Thus, the cross-section of a right rectangular pyramid will be shaped similar to the base, that is, a rectangle. Hence, 4th option is the right choice.
