Answer:

29 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Society X ;

Population = 100

Number of facts known = 10

Average fact known per person = known fact / population = 10 / 100 = 0.1

Society X:

Population = 19

Common fact known by 9 = 5

Specialized fact, known by 10 = 5 * 10 = 50

Total facts = common + specialized = 55

Average fact known per person = 55 / 19 = 2.8947368 fact per person

Number of times society Z is better :

2.8947368 / 0.1 = 28.947 times

Approximately 29 times

Verify that (cos²a) (2 + tan² a) = 2 - sin² a....<br>

Sveta_85 [38]

Trigonometric Formula's:

$\boxed{\sf \ \sf \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1}$

$\boxed{ \sf tan\theta = \frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta} }$

Given to verify the following:

$\bf (cos^2a) (2 + tan^2 a) = 2 - sin^2 a$

$\texttt{\underline{rewrite the equation}:}$

$\rightarrow \sf (cos^2a) (2 + \dfrac{sin^2 a}{cos^2 a} )$

$\texttt{\underline{apply distributive method}:}$

$\rightarrow \sf 2 (cos^2a) + (\dfrac{sin^2 a}{cos^2 a} ) (cos^2a)$

$\texttt{\underline{simplify the following}:}$

$\rightarrow \sf 2cos^2 a + sin^2 a$

$\texttt{\underline{rewrite the equation}:}$

$\rightarrow \sf 2(1 - sin^2a ) + sin^2 a$

$\texttt{\underline{distribute inside the parenthesis}:}$

$\rightarrow \sf 2 - 2sin^2a + sin^2 a$

$\texttt{\underline{simplify the following}} :$

$\rightarrow \sf 2 - sin^2a$

Hence, verified the trigonometric identity.

What is the set of all solutions to the equation \sqrt{x + 2}= {-x} x+2 =−xsquare root of, x, plus, 2, end square root, equals

NARA [144]

Answer:

$x = 2$ or $x = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\sqrt{x + 2}= {-x}$

Required

Find the possible values fo x

$\sqrt{x + 2}= {-x}$

Square both sides

$( \sqrt{x + 2})^2= ({-x})^2$

$x + 2 = x^2$

Equate to 0

$x^2 - x - 2 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 + x -2x - 2 = 0$

Factorize:

$x(x + 1) - 2(x + 1) = 0$

$(x -2)(x +1) = 0$

Split:

$x - 2 = 0$ or $x + 1 = 0$

$x = 2 + 0$ or $x = 0-1$

$x = 2$ or $x = -1$

Find all solutions of the given system of equations and check your answer graphically. HINT [See Examples 2–5.] (If there is no

Reika [66]

The values of (x,y)=(4,4). In terms of x, the value y(x)=8-x, If the given equation is $x-y=0$ and $x+y=8$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

$x-y=0$ ...............................(1)

$x+y=8$ ...............................(2)

Step:1

Solution can be obtained by Elimination method,

Equation (1) is multiplied by (-1) ( Eqn (1) × -1 )

$-x+y=0$ ..............................(3)

Substrate the equation (1) and equation (3),

$-x+y=0$

$x+y=8$

( - )

$(-x-x)+(y-y)=(0-8)$

$(-2x)=-8$

$-2x = -8$

we can cancel the minus because it is available in both sides,

$2x=8$

$x = \frac{8}{2}$

x = 4

From the value of x, Equation (2) becomes,

$x+y=8$

$4+y=8$

$y = 8-x$ (Value of y in terms of x)

Where, x = 4

$y = 8-4$

$y =4$

Step:2

Check for solution,

$x+y=8$ .....................................(2)

Substitute the values of x and y,

4 + 4 = 8

8 = 8

Result:

The values of (x,y)=(4,4). In terms of x, the value y(x)=8-x, where x=4. If the given equation is $x-y=0$ and $x+y=8$ .
