Since we can add a number to a tens number easily, we make one of the addends a tens number when solving an addition problem.
Example 1:
Add 9 and 6.
9 + 6 = 9 + (1 + 5)
= (9 + 1) + 5
= 10 + 5 = 15
Note that adding 10 and 5 is much easier than adding 9 and 6.
Example 2:
Add 18 and 16.
18 + 16 = 18 + (2 + 14)
= (18 + 2) + 14
= 20 + 14 = 34
Note that adding 20 and 14 is much easier than adding 18 and 16.
Answer:
The correct option is;
Decrease b.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information are;
The function in the question is given by the equation, y = a·cos(b·x)
Where;
a > 0 and b > 0
The location of the x-intercept is given by the values of x when y = 0 which are obtained as follows;
When y = 0, y = a·cos(b·x) = 0
Therefore;
cos(b·x) = 0/a = 0
∴ b·x = cos⁻¹(0) = π/2, 3·π/2, (4·n×π + π)/2
Therefore, as b decreases, x increases.
