$11 + 1 = 12 \\ 180 \div 12 = 15 \\ 15 \times 1 = 15 \\ 15 \times 11 = 165$
Tarpon=165
Permit=15

A rope is 66 feet long. It is cut into two pieces such that one piece is half the length of the other. What is the length of the

dedylja [7]

So if one bit of the length, is half the size of the other bit then we can make the following equation, for x being the length of rope:

x + 2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 22

That is the length, of the smaller one (half the big one), so 2x = 44. Hence d) is your answer.

Hope I helped!

Stephanie and alejandro

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Stephanie saved

Step-by-step explanation:

x+4x=15600

5x=15600

divide by 5 on both sides

you get 3120

since stephanie got 4 times more, you multiply 3120*4 and get 12480

therefore, Alejandro saved 3120

Write an equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$y=\frac{4}{3}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

general slope intercept equation of a straight line is given as

$y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept

here

$m=\frac{4}{3}$

and

$b=0$

Prove that sin^4x + cos^4x= sinxcosx

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

(the relation you wrote is not correct, there may be something missing, so I will simplify the initial expression)

Here we have the equation:

$sin^4(x) + cos^4(x)$

We can rewrite this as:

$(sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2$

Now we can add and subtract cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) to get:

$(sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2 + 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) - 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)$

We can complete squares to get:

$(cos^2(x) + sin^2(x))^2 - 2*cos(x)^2*sin(x)^2$

and we know that:

cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1

then:

$1 - 2*sin(x)^2*cos(x)^2$

This is the closest expression to what you wrote.

We also know that:

sin(x)*cos(x) = (1/2)*sin(2*x)

If we replace that, we get:

$1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}$

Then the simplification is:

$cos^4(x) + sin^4(x) = 1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}$
