<u>Prove that:</u>

\:\:\sf\:\:\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\cos A+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\cos B +\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\cos C=0

<u>Proof: </u>

We know that, by Law of Cosines,

  • \sf \cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}
  • \sf \cos B=\dfrac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}
  • \sf \cos C=\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}

<u>Taking</u><u> </u><u>LHS</u>

\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\cos A+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\cos B +\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\cos C

<em>Substituting</em> the value of <em>cos A, cos B and cos C,</em>

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{b^2-c^2}{a}\right)\left(\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{c^2-a^2}{b}\right)\left(\dfrac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}\right)+\left(\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{c}\right)\left(\dfrac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\right)

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^2-c^2)(b^2+c^2-a^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^2-a^2)(c^2+a^2-b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^2-b^2)(a^2+b^2-c^2)}{2abc}\right)

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^2-c^2)(b^2+c^2)-(b^2-c^2)(a^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^2-a^2)(c^2+a^2)-(c^2-a^2)(b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^2-b^2)(a^2+b^2)-(a^2-b^2)(c^2)}{2abc}\right)

\longmapsto\left(\dfrac{(b^4-c^4)-(a^2b^2-a^2c^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(c^4-a^4)-(b^2c^2-a^2b^2)}{2abc}\right)+\left(\dfrac{(a^4-b^4)-(a^2c^2-b^2c^2)}{2abc}\right)

\longmapsto\dfrac{b^4-c^4-a^2b^2+a^2c^2}{2abc}+\dfrac{c^4-a^4-b^2c^2+a^2b^2}{2abc}+\dfrac{a^4-b^4-a^2c^2+b^2c^2}{2abc}

<em>On combining the fractions,</em>

\longmapsto\dfrac{(b^4-c^4-a^2b^2+a^2c^2)+(c^4-a^4-b^2c^2+a^2b^2)+(a^4-b^4-a^2c^2+b^2c^2)}{2abc}

\longmapsto\dfrac{b^4-c^4-a^2b^2+a^2c^2+c^4-a^4-b^2c^2+a^2b^2+a^4-b^4-a^2c^2+b^2c^2}{2abc}

<em>Regrouping the terms,</em>

\longmapsto\dfrac{(a^4-a^4)+(b^4-b^4)+(c^4-c^4)+(a^2b^2-a^2b^2)+(b^2c^2-b^2c^2)+(a^2c^2-a^2c^2)}{2abc}

\longmapsto\dfrac{(0)+(0)+(0)+(0)+(0)+(0)}{2abc}

\longmapsto\dfrac{0}{2abc}

\longmapsto\bf 0=RHS

LHS = RHS proved.

Savings account A and savings account B both offer APRs of 5%, but savings account A compounds interest semiannually, while savi
Tamiku [17]

C. Savings account B because it has more compounding periods per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Savings account A has an APR of 5% which compounds interest semiannually. This means that savings account A compounds twice in a year. If account A compounds 5% a time, it would compound 5(2) = 10% in a single year.

Step 2:

Savings account B also has an APR of 5% which compounds interest quarterly. This means that savings account B compounds four times in a year. If account B compounds 5% a time, it would compound 5(4) = 20% in a single year.

Step 3:

Savings account A gets an interest of 5% a year while savings account B gets an interest of 10% so account B offers a higher APR because of more compoundings in a year.

I’ll teach you how to solve 3x-5=-18
—————————————-
3x-5=-18
Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign:
3x=-18+5
Calculate the sum:
3x=-13
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
X=-13/3
Your Answer Is x=-13/3
