Which set of absolute values is compared correctly?

8 0

I would say D because, it makes sense the most, absolute values make the negatives positive, so the order that D goes in is correct.

|-10| < |12| < |-15| < |17

In absolute value, we just ignore the sign, and compare the magnitude of the number.

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

Okay so if there are 120 seconds in 2 minutes and the bee flies 45m in 10; 10 goes into 120 12 times so just multiply 45 by 12. the answer is 540

Answer: see proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A + B = C → A = C - B

→ B = C - A

Use the Double Angle Identity: cos 2A = 2 cos² A - 1

→ (cos 2A + 1)/2 = cos² A

Use Sum to Product Identity: cos A + cos B = 2 cos [(A + B)/2] · 2 cos [(A - B)/2]

Use Even/Odd Identity: cos (-A) = cos (A)

Proof LHS → RHS:

LHS: cos² A + cos² B + cos² C

$\text{Double Angle:}\qquad \dfrac{\cos 2A+1}{2}+\dfrac{\cos 2B+1}{2}+\cos^2 C\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(2+\cos 2A+\cos 2B\bigg)+\cos^2 C\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\cos 2A+\cos 2B\bigg)+\cos^2 C$

$\text{Sum to Product:}\quad 1+\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg[2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A+2B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A-2B}{2}\bigg)\bigg]+\cos^2 C\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+\cos (A+B)\cdot \cos (A-B)+\cos^2 C$

$\text{Given:}\qquad \qquad 1+\cos C\cdot \cos (A-B)+\cos^2C$

$\text{Factor:}\qquad \qquad 1+\cos C[\cos (A-B)+\cos C]$

$\text{Sum to Product:}\quad 1+\cos C\bigg[2\cos \bigg(\dfrac{A-B+C}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{A-B-C}{2}\bigg)\bigg]\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+2\cos C\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{A+(C-B)}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{-B-(C-A)}{2}\bigg)$

$\text{Given:}\qquad \qquad =1+2\cos C\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{A+A}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{-B-B}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =1+2\cos C \cdot \cos A\cdot \cos (-B)$
