Answer:

160 Points in 5 Games

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information will be used as the first ratio. 288 points / 9 games. To find out how many points this player would score in 5 games, we use another ratio with the unknown value, x. This would be x points / 5 games. Put the ratios equal to each other and cross multiply. You will get a final answer of 160.

Derive these identities using the addition or subtraction formulas for sine or cosine: sinacosb=(sin(a+b)+sin(a-b))/2

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The work is in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine addition identity is:

$\sin(a+b)=\sin(a)\cos(b)+\cos(a)\sin(b)$ .

The sine difference identity is:

$\sin(a-b)=\sin(a)\cos(b)-\cos(a)\sin(a)$ .

The cosine addition identity is:

$\cos(a+b)=\cos(a)\cos(b)-\sin(a)\sin(b)$ .

The cosine difference identity is:

$\cos(a-b)=\cos(a)\cos(b)+\sin(a)\sin(b)$ .

We need to find a way to put some or all of these together to get:

$\sin(a)\cos(b)=\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}$ .

So I do notice on the right hand side the $\sin(a+b)$ and the $\sin(a-b)$ .

Let's start there then.

There is a plus sign in between them so let's add those together:

$\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)$

$=[\sin(a+b)]+[\sin(a-b)]$

$=[\sin(a)\cos(b)+\cos(a)\sin(b)]+[\sin(a)\cos(b)-\cos(a)\sin(b)]$

There are two pairs of like terms. I will gather them together so you can see it more clearly:

$=[\sin(a)\cos(b)+\sin(a)\cos(b)]+[\cos(a)\sin(b)-\cos(a)\sin(b)]$

$=2\sin(a)\cos(b)+0$

$=2\sin(a)\cos(b)$

So this implies:

$\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)=2\sin(a)\cos(b)$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}=\sin(a)\cos(b)$

By the symmetric property we can write:

$\sin(a)\cos(b)=\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}$

Hector took out a small loan of $900 for 15 months. The simple interest rate on the loan was 15%. How much will he pay in intere

Liula [17]

So you have to find 15 percent of 900 which would be 135

What’s the value of n in the equation-1/2(2n+4)+6=-9+4(2n+1)

klemol [59]

Answer:

n=13/7

Step-by-step explanation:

2n+4+6*2=-9*2+8(2n+1)

2n+4+12=-18+16n+8

16+18=16n-2n+8

34=14n+8

34-8=14n

26=14n

n=13/7
