Answer:

1 1/4 inches

5/48 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this question, convert feet to inches

1 feet = 12 inches

8 x 12 = 96 inches

7feet,10 3/4 inches long = (7 x 12) + 10 3/4 inches = 94 3/4 inches

Subtract  94 3/4 inches from 96 inches

96 inches -  94 3/4 inches = 1 1/4 inches

or 5/4 x 1/12 = 5/48 foot

Solve the equation.3/4(2a − 6) + 1/2 = 2/5(3a + 20)
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

a = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation using the distributive property and rational coefficents (fractions).  The first step is to complete the distributive property on both sides of the equation and multiply each term in the expression in parenthesis by the constant on the outside.  (3/4 x 2a) - (3/4 x 6) +1/2 = (2/5 x 3a) + (2/5 x 20).  When we multiply and simplify, we get 3/2a - 9/2 + 1/2 = 6/5a + 8.  Next step is to combine like terms:  3/2a  - 8/2 = 6/5a +8.  We then need to isolate the variable by using inverse operations:  3/10a = 12, then solve for 'a' by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal (10/3) to get a = 40.

Find the product of (x 5)(x − 5). X2 − 10x 25 x2 10x 25 x2 − 25 x2 25.
den301095 [7]

Product of two polynomials can be done by distribution of multiplication over addition. The product of (x+5)(x-5) = x^2 - 25

<h3>What is distributive property of multiplication over addition?</h3>

Suppose a, b and c are three numbers. Then we have:

a(b + c) = a\times b + a\times c

(a(b+c) means a multiplied to (b+c). The sign of multiplication is usually hidden when using symbols and both quantities which are in multiplication are written together without space)

The product result of the given expression is obtained as:

(x+5)(x-5) = x(x - 5) + 5(x - 5) \\\\(x+5)(x-5) = x^{1+1} - 5x + 5x - 25 = x^2 - 25

Thus,

The product of (x+5)(x-5) = x^2 - 25

Suppose that cot θ = c and 0 &lt; θ &lt; π 2 . what is a formula for cos θ in terms of c?
loris [4]

Answer:

<h3>cosθ = c/√1+c²</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given cot θ = c and 0 < θ < π/2

In trigonometry identity:

cotθ  = 1/tanθ = c

1/tanθ = c

cross multiply

tanθ  = 1/c

According to SOH, CAH, TOA:

Tanθ = opposite/adjacent = 1/c

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

To get the hypotenuse, we will use the pythagoras theorem:

hyp² = opp²+adj²

hyp² = 1²+c²

hyp = √1+c²

Find cosθ in terms of c

cosθ = c/√1+c²

Hence the formula for cos θ in terms of c is cosθ = c/√1+c²
