Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

First we count the powers of $2$. We can compute $2^9=512$ and $2^{10}=1024$, so the largest power of $2$ which is smaller than $1000$ is $2^9$. Remembering that $2^{-n}$ is defined as $\dfrac{1}{2^n}$, we can see that the smallest power of $2$ which is larger than $\dfrac{1}{1000}$ is $2^{-9}$. Thus, we have the following list of powers of $2$:

\[2^{-9}, 2^{-8}, 2^{-7}, 2^{-6}, 2^{-5}, 2^{-4}, 2^{-3}, 2^{-2}, 2^{-1}, 2^0, \]\[2^1, 2^2, 2^3, 2^4, 2^5, 2^6, 2^7, 2^8, 2^9.\]

There are $19$ numbers in this list ($9$ with negative exponents, $9$ with positive exponents, and one more -- $2^0$).

We can count powers of $3$ in a similar way. The largest power of $3$ smaller than $1000$ is $3^6 = 729$. The smallest power of $3$ larger than $\dfrac{1}{1000}$ is therefore $3^{-6}$, or $\dfrac{1}{729}$. So we have these powers of $3$:$$3^{-6}, 3^{-5}, 3^{-4}, 3^{-3}, 3^{-2}, 3^{-1}, 3^0, 3^1, 3^2, 3^3, 3^4, 3^5, 3^6.$$We don't want to count $3^0$ again, though, because $3^0$ is $1$, which we already counted as $2^0$! There are $12$ other numbers in our list ($6$ with negative exponents and $6$ with positive exponents).

We don't have to worry about any other duplication between the lists, since $\allowbreak 2^1,2^2,2^3,\allowbreak \ldots,2^8,2^9$ are all even and $\allowbreak 3^1,3^2,3^3,\allowbreak 3^4,3^5,3^6$ are all odd. So, we have $19+12 = \boxed{31}$ different numbers in our two lists.

Which of the following are identities? Check all that apply
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

A, C

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually, those questions require us to develop those equations to derive into trigonometrical equations so that we can unveil them or not. Doing it only two alternatives, the other ones will not result in Trigonometrical Identities.

Examining

A) True

\frac{1-tan^{2}x}{2tanx} =\frac{1}{tan2x} \\ \frac{1-tan^{2}x}{2tanx} =\frac{1}{\frac{2tanx}{1-tan^{2}x}}\\ tan2x=\frac{1-tan^{2}x}{2tanx}

Double angle tan2\alpha =\frac{1 -tan^{2}\alpha }{2tan\alpha}

B) False,

No further development towards a Trig Identity

C) True

Double Angle Sine Formula sin2\alpha =2sin\alpha *cos\alpha

sin(8x)=2sin(4x)cos(4x)\\2sin(4x)cos(4x)=2sin(4x)cos(4x)

D) False No further development towards a Trig Identity

[sin(x)-cos(x)]^{2} =1+sin(2x)\\ sin^{2} (x)-2sin(x)cos(x)+cos^{2}x=1+2sinxcosx\\ \\sin^{2} (x)+cos^{2}x=1+4sin(x)cos(x)
