Answer:

Let the number they chose be 'x'.

Result of Jane = $3x -2$

Result of Elliot = $2x+3$

Given that,

The product of their result = 110

$or, (3x-2)(2x+3) = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +9x-4x-6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6-110 = 0\\\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 116 = 0\\or, 6x^{2} +29x - 24x - 116 = 0\\or, x (6x +29) -4(6x+29) = 0\\or, (x-4)(6x+29) = 0\\i.e. x=4 or x=\frac{-29}{6} \\So,~ the ~number ~they~ chose~was ~either ~4 ~or ~\frac{-29}{6}$

Prove that sinxtanx=1/cosx - cosx

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove that

$\sin(x)\tan(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x), \forall x \in\mathbb{R}$

Taking the RHS, note

$\dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \dfrac{\cos(x) \cos(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Remember that

$\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) =1 \implies 1- \cos^2(x) =\sin^2(x)$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Once

$\dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} = \tan(x)$

Then,

$\dfrac{\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} = \sin(x)\tan(x)$

Hence, it is proved

A fish swims over the waterfall. The distance y (in feet) that the fish falls is given by the function y=16t2 , where t is the t

inessss [21]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 16t^2$

The equation is incomplete. However, a possible question could be to calculate the distance of the fish at a particular time

e.g. Time, t = 4,

The distance is:

$y = 16t^2$

$y = 16 * 4^2$

$y = 16 * 16$

$y = 256ft$

Another possible question is to determine the time taken to cover a certain distance

e.g.

Distance, y = 400

This gives:

$y = 16t^2$

$400 = 16t^2$

Divide by 16

$25 = t^2$

Take square roots

$5 = t$

$t = 5\ seconds$

What is the solution set of x2 + y2 = 26 and x − y = 6? A. {(5, -1), (-5, 1)} B. {(1, 5), (5, 1)} C. {(-1, 5), (1, -5)} D. {(5,

Rus_ich [418]

He two equations given are
x^2 + y^2 = 26
And
x - y = 6
x = y +6
Putting the value of x from the second equation to the first equation, we get
x^2 + y^2 = 26
(y + 6) ^2 + y^2 = 26
y^2 + 12y + 36 + y^2 = 26
2y^2 + 12y + 36 - 26 = 0
2y^2 + 12y + 10 = 0
y^2 + 6y + 5 = 0
y^2 + y + 5y + 5 = 0
y(y + 1) + 5 ( y + 1) = 0
(y + 1)(y + 5) = 0
Then
y + 1 = 0
y = -1
so x - y = 6
x + 1 = 6
x = 5
Or
y + 5 = 0
y = - 5
Again x = 1
So the solutions would be (-1, 5), (1 , -5). The correct option is option "C".
