Step-by-step explanation:

\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

Given that lines makes an angle α, β, γ with x - axis, y - axis and z - axis respectively.

So, By definition of direction cosines,

\rm :\longmapsto\:l = cos \alpha

\rm :\longmapsto\:m = cos \beta

\rm :\longmapsto\:n = cos \gamma

So,

\rm :\longmapsto\: {l}^{2} +  {m}^{2}  +  {n}^{2}  = 1

\rm :\longmapsto\: {cos}^{2} \alpha  +  {cos}^{2} \beta  +  {cos}^{2} \gamma  = 1

On multiply by 2 on both sides we get

\rm :\longmapsto\: 2{cos}^{2} \alpha  +  2{cos}^{2} \beta  + 2 {cos}^{2} \gamma  = 2

can be further rewritten as

\rm :\longmapsto\: 2{cos}^{2} \alpha  - 1 + 1 +  2{cos}^{2} \beta  - 1 + 1 + 2 {cos}^{2} \gamma  - 1 + 1 = 2

\rm :\longmapsto\: (2{cos}^{2} \alpha  - 1)+ (2{cos}^{2} \beta  - 1)+ (2 {cos}^{2} \gamma  - 1) + 3= 2

\rm :\longmapsto\:cos2 \alpha  + cos2 \beta  + cos2 \gamma   + 3= 2

\red{ \bigg\{  \sf \: \because \: cos2x =  {2cos}^{2}x - 1  \bigg\}}

\rm :\longmapsto\:cos2 \alpha  + cos2 \beta  + cos2 \gamma= 2 - 3

\rm :\longmapsto\:cos2 \alpha  + cos2 \beta  + cos2 \gamma=  - 1

Hence,

\bf\implies \:\boxed{\tt{  \: cos2 \alpha  + cos2 \beta  + cos2 \gamma  =  - 1 \: }}

So, option (d) is correct.

<h3>MORE TO KNOW </h3>

Direction cosines of a line segment is defined as the cosines of the angle which a line makes with the positive direction of respective axis.

The scalar components of unit vector always give direction cosines.

The scalar components of a vector gives direction ratios.

The revenue from selling xshirts is r(x) = 12x.
algol [13]

Answer:

D. p(x)=7x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

r(x) = 12x\\c(x) = 5x + 20\\p(x) = r(x)-c(x)\\p(x)=12x-(5x+20)\\p(x)=12x-5x-20\\p(x)=7x-20

Simply subtract the two functions from each other and simplify to get the result.
