Let the colored pencil amount be p.
Then this is the equation:
12p+p=78
Simplifying, we can see that
13p=78
Divide both sides by 13 to get
p=6
Since there are 12 times as many markers as colored pencils, there are 72 markers.
Part (c)
We'll use this identity

to say

Similarly,

-------------------------
The key takeaways here are that

Therefore,

The identity is confirmed.
==========================================================
Part (d)

Similarly,

-----------------
We'll square each equation

and

--------------------
Let's compare the results we got.

Now if we add the terms straight down, we end up with
on the left side
As for the right side, the sin(A)cos(A) terms cancel out since they add to 0.
Also note how
and similarly for the sin^2 terms as well.
The right hand side becomes
but that's always equal to 1 (pythagorean trig identity)
This confirms that
is an identity
‘A’ would be the dependent variable
‘w’ would be the independent variable
say, y = x+3, then they value y can have depends on what the value of x is. another way to put it is the dependent variable is the output value and the independent variable is the input value. so for y = x+3, when you input x =2, the output is y = 5.
