During a checkers game, there are 16 pieces left. The ratio of black to red is 3 : 5. How many black pieces are on the board? Explain how you found your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 black pieces

10 red pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to interpret ratios is like so:

Adding up both parts of the ratio gives 8, i.e. 3 + 5

So for every 8 pieces, 3 are black and 5 are red;

There are 16 pieces, which is 2 × 8;

So, there are (2 × 3) black pieces and (2 × 5) red pieces, i.e. 6 black and 10 red

So, to solve:

Add all parts of the ratio (3 + 5);

Divide the number of pieces (16) by this sum of ratio parts (8);

Multiply the value from the division (2) by each part of the ratio

Tip:

It is important to take note of the order in the ratio, so the ratio of black to red means the number that comes first in the ratio represents parts black and the one that comes second represents parts red;

If the wording was the ratio of red to black, the number that comes first would represent parts red and the second would represent parts black

Explanation

) f) 1 + cot²a = cosec²a​

Answers

Answer:

It is an identity, proved below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you want to prove the identity. There are several ways to prove the identity but here I will prove using one of method.

First, we have to know what cot and cosec are. They both are the reciprocal of sin (cosec) and tan (cot).

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\cot x=\frac{1}{\tan x}}\\\displaystyle \large{\csc x=\frac{1}{\sin x}}[/tex]

csc is mostly written which is cosec, first we have to write in 1/tan and 1/sin form.

[tex]\displaystyle \large{1+(\frac{1}{\tan x})^2=(\frac{1}{\sin x})^2}\\\displaystyle \large{1+\frac{1}{\tan^2x}=\frac{1}{\sin^2x}}[/tex]

Another identity is:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{1+\frac{1}{(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x})^2}=\frac{1}{\sin^2x}}\\\displaystyle \large{1+\frac{1}{\frac{\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}}=\frac{1}{\sin^2x}}\\\displaystyle \large{1+\frac{\cos^2x}{\sin^2x}=\frac{1}{\sin^2x}}[/tex]

Now this is easier to prove because of same denominator, next step is to multiply 1 by sin^2x with denominator and numerator.

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\frac{\sin^2x}{\sin^2x}+\frac{\cos^2x}{\sin^2x}=\frac{1}{\sin^2x}}\\\displaystyle \large{\frac{\sin^2x+\cos^2x}{\sin^2x}=\frac{1}{\sin^2x}[/tex]

Another identity:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\sin^2x+\cos^2x=1}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{\frac{\sin^2x+\cos^2x}{\sin^2x}=\frac{1}{\sin^2x}\longrightarrow \boxed{ \frac{1}{\sin^2x}={\frac{1}{\sin^2x}}}[/tex]

Hence proved, this is proof by using identity helping to find the specific identity.

A. Are the expressions 3(m - 2) + 2(m - 2) and 50m - 2) equivalent expressions?

B. In two or more complete sentences, justify your answer to A.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

3(m-2)+2(m-2)

3m-6+2m-4

3m+2m-6-4

5m-6-4

5m-10

The expressions 3(m-2)+2(m-2) and 50m-2 are not equivalent expressions.

After simplifying the first expression 3(m-2)+2(m-2) in part (a), we got 5m-10, which is different from the second expression, 50m-2.

If p/q=q/r then prove that
p3+q3+r3=(1/p3+1/q3+1/r3)p2q2r2 ​

Answers

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Doubt clarification - use comment section.

The equation [tex]p^3+q^3+r^3=(\frac{1}{p^3}+\frac{1}{q^3}+\frac{1}{r^3})p^2q^2r^2[/tex] has been proved to be true

The equation is given as:

[tex]\frac pq = \frac qr[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]pr = q^2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]q^2 = pr[/tex]

Also, we have:

[tex]p^3+q^3+r^3=(\frac{1}{p^3}+\frac{1}{q^3}+\frac{1}{r^3})p^2q^2r^2[/tex]

Substitute [tex]q^2 = pr[/tex]

[tex]p^3+q^3+r^3=(\frac{1}{p^3}+\frac{1}{q^3}+\frac{1}{r^3})p^3r^3[/tex]

Expand

[tex]p^3+q^3+r^3=\frac{1}{p^3} \times p^3r^3 +\frac{1}{q^3} \times p^3r^3 +\frac{1}{r^3} \times p^3r^3[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]p3+q3+r3=r^3 +\frac{1}{q^3} \times p^3r^3 + p^3[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]p3+q3+r3=r^3 +\frac{1}{q^3} \times (pr)^3 + p^3[/tex]

Substitute [tex]pr = q^2[/tex]

[tex]p3+q3+r3=r^3 +\frac{1}{q^3} \times (q^2)^3 + p^3[/tex]

[tex]p3+q3+r3=r^3 +\frac{1}{q^3} \times q^6 + p^3[/tex]

Divide q^6 by q^3

[tex]p3+q3+r3=r^3 +q^3 + p^3[/tex]

Rewrite the equation as:

[tex]p3+q3+r3=p^3 +q^3 + r^3[/tex]

Hence, the equation has been proved

Find f(-2) if f(x)= x^2 + 8x

Answers

Answer:

f(-2) = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= x² + 8x

We want to find f(-2)

f(-2) = (-2)² + 8(-2)

Apply exponent : (-2)² = 4

f(-2) = 4 + 8(-2)

multiply 8 and - 2 : 8 * -2 = -16

f(-2) = 4 - 16

subtract 16 from 4 : 4 - 16 = -12

f(-2) = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 8x

f(-2) = (-2)² + 8(-2) = 4 - 16 = -12

a bag contains colored tils 3 tiles are red 6 tiles are green 3 tiles are blue a tile will be randomly selected from the bag what is the probabillities in decimal from that the tile selected will regreate

Answers

Answer:

By:Parrain

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the selected tile will be green is 0.5.

The probability that a tile will be green can be calculated by the formula:

= Number of green tiles / Total number of tiles

Total number of tiles is:

= 3 + 6 + 3

= 12 tiles

Probability of picking green tile is therefore:

= 6 / 12

= 50%

= 0.50

Answers

we have: ∠A + ∠B = 90°

<=> (2x-14) + (3x-6) = 90° <=> 2x - 14 + 3x - 6 = 90°

<=> 5x + 20 = 90°

<=> 5x = 70°

<=> x = 14°

So: ∠A = 2x - 14 = 2.14 - 14 = 14°

Which of the following is the best definition of vertical angles?

Vertical angles are angles formed by two intersecting lines.
Vertical angles are formed by intersecting a vertical and horizontal line.
Vertical angles are a pair of non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.
Vertical angles are a pair of congruent angles with a vertical line of symmetry.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Very quick and effortless example of vertical angles in the attached image. When 2 straight lines intersect, the 2 angles opposite each other at that point are vertical angles, and they are always congruent.

I'd say it's the 3rd option:

"Vertical angles are a pair of non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines."

but any of the first three could be technically true really. Adjacent angles are 2 angles that share a side, and vertical angles cannot share one.

Answer:

Answer:

28+66+86=180

180=180

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a triangle and the 3 measures from the angles we can find the value of x using the hint given that the sum of the interior angles must be 180°

Write the equation

\begin{gathered}x+(2x+10)+(3x+2)=180\\\end{gathered}

x+(2x+10)+(3x+2)=180

Simplify left side of the equation

\begin{gathered}6x+12=180\\\end{gathered}

6x+12=180

Solve equation for x

\begin{gathered}6x=180-12\\6x=168\\x=28\end{gathered}

6x=180−12

6x=168

x=28

Replace x into the 3 angles and find their respectives values

\begin{gathered}A=x\\A=28\\\\B=2x+10\\B=2*28+10\\B=56+10\\B=66\\\\C=3x+2\\C=84+2\\C=86\end{gathered}

A=x

A=28

B=2x+10

B=2∗28+10

B=56+10

B=66

C=3x+2

C=84+2

C=86

Check if the answers are correct

\begin{gathered}28+66+86=180\\180=180\end{gathered}

28+66+86=180

180=180
