Answer: It decreased by 24F not 10F because if it were 10F the starting temperature had to be -7F since the difference between this number and -17F is 10F but in this case it starts at 7F so we subtract 7-0=7 and 17-0=17 and add 17+7=24F.

Step-by-step explanation:

7-0=7

17-0=17

17+7=24F

David hikes 2 ¼ miles in ½ an hour at this rate, how long will it take him to walk 18 miles?
8090 [49]
So in 30 min will hike 2 1/4 miles =9 of those 1/4 miles therefore in 10 min will hike 9/3 =3 of those 1/4 miles = 3/4 of a mile

3/4 mile in 10 min;
(3/4)• 4 = 3 miles in 40 min;
6 miles in 80 min;
9 miles in 120 min;
12 miles in 160 min;
15 miles in 200 min;
18 miles in 240 min or 4 hours

Square roots in trigonometry. I don’t understand please help?
cupoosta [38]

By definitions of the (co)tangent and cosecant function,

3\tan^2x-2=\csc^2x-\cot^2x\iff3\dfrac{\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}-2=\dfrac1{\sin^2x}-\dfrac{\cos^2x}{\sin^2x}

Turn everything into fractions with common denominators:

\dfrac{3\sin^2x-2\cos^2x}{\cos^2x}=\dfrac{1-\cos^2x}{\sin^2x}

Recall that \cos^2x+\sin^2x=1, so we can simplify both sides a bit.

On the left:

\dfrac{3\sin^2x+3\cos^2x-5\cos^2x}{\cos^2x}=\dfrac{3-5\cos^2x}{\cos^2x}

On the right:

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

(as long as \sin x\neq 0, which happens in the interval 0\le x\le\pi when x=0 or x=\pi)

So we have

\dfrac{3-5\cos^2x}{\cos^2x}=1\implies3-5\cos^2x=\cos^2x

\implies3=6\cos^2x

\implies\cos^2x=\dfrac12

\implies\cos x=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt2}

\implies x=\dfrac\pi4\text{ or }x=\dfrac{3\pi}4
