Answer:

2 men will take 5/4 hrs to dig half a hole.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 men do 1 unit of work in 1 hour. 1 man does 1/5 unit of work in 1 hour. 2 men do 2/5 units of work in 1 hour. Thats why 2 men will take 5/2 hours to dig 1 hole and take 5/4 hours to dig half a hole. :)

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = \frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0 . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = \frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0} = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!

Verify sin2θ/1+cos2θ =tanθ
Andrej [43]

Answer:

LHS.= Sin 2x /( 1 + cos2x )

We have , sin 2x = 2 sinx•cosx

And. cos2x = 2cos^2 x - 1

i.e . 1+ cosx 2x = 2cos^2x

Putting the above results in the LHSwe get,

Sin2x/ ( 1+ cos2x ) =2 sinx•cosx/2cos^2x

=sinx / cosx

= Tanx

.•. sin2x/(1 + cos2x)= tanx
