Answer:

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Hope this helps :D

Prove the following identity :<br>Sin α . Cos α .<br> Tan α =  (1 – Cos<br> α)  (1 + Cos<br> α)
Umnica [9.8K]
Let's work on the left side first. And remember that
the<u> tangent</u> is the same as <u>sin/cos</u>.

sin(a) cos(a) tan(a)

Substitute for the tangent:

[ sin(a) cos(a) ] [ sin(a)/cos(a) ]

Cancel the cos(a) from the top and bottom, and you're left with

[ sin(a) ] . . . . . [ sin(a) ] which is [ <u>sin²(a)</u> ]  That's the <u>left side</u>.

Now, work on the right side:

[ 1 - cos(a) ] [ 1 + cos(a) ]

Multiply that all out, using FOIL:

[ 1 + cos(a) - cos(a) - cos²(a) ]

= [ <u>1 - cos²(a)</u> ] That's the <u>right side</u>.

Do you remember that for any angle, sin²(b) + cos²(b) = 1  ?
Subtract cos²(b) from each side, and you have sin²(b) = 1 - cos²(b) for any angle.

So, on the <u>right side</u>, you could write [ <u>sin²(a)</u> ] .

Now look back about 9 lines, and compare that to the result we got for the <u>left side</u> .

They look quite similar. In fact, they're identical. And so the identity is proven.

Whew !

Which drawing shows two lines that intersect at Point a ax, tab, two lines ab, straight x a.​
leonid [27]

The drawing which shows two lines that intersect at Point, A is as represented in Choice 1: Top-left corner.

Discussion:

In geometry, a line or straight line was introduced by ancient mathematicians to represent straight objects with negligible width and depth.

  • Lines are therefore an idealization of such objects, which are often described in terms of two points or referred to using a single letter.

Ultimately, The drawing which shows two lines that intersect at Point, A are as represented in Choice 1: Top-left corner.
