Answer:

12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this through a system of equations.

one number is a third of the other

1/3x = y

added together they equal sixteen

x + y = 16

substitute in for y

1/3x + x = 16

x = 12

put this in the original equation and

y = 4

Answer: 4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(4)

consider the left side

factor the numerator

cosx - cos³x = cosx(1 - cos²x)

\frac{cosx(1-cos^2x)}{sinx}[/tex = [tex]\frac{cosxsin^2x}{sinx}

cancel sinx on numerator/denominator

= cosxsinx =right side ⇒ verified

(5)

Consider the left side

expand the factors

(1 + cotΘ)² + (1 - cotΘ)²

= 1 + 2cotΘ + cot²Θ + 1 - 2cotΘ + cot²Θ

= 2 + 2cot²Θ

= 2(1 + cot²Θ) ← 1 + cot²Θ = cosec²Θ

= 2cosec²Θ = right side ⇒ verified

(6)

Consider the left side

the denominator simplifies to

cosxtanx = cosx × \frac{sinx}{cosx} = sinx

\frac{sin^2x(secx+cosecx)}{sinx}

= sinx( \frac{1}{cosx} + \frac{1}{sinx})

= \frac{sinx}{cosx} + \frac{sinx}{sinx}

= tanx + 1 = right side ⇒ verified
