Use the formula for the cosine of the difference of two angles. Verify the following identity:

cos a(alpha) – b(beta) / sin a(alpha) sin b(beta) = cot a(alpha) cot b(beta) + 1

For my science fair project, i had to growth bacteria. I put contact cleaner on it to see if it would kill it. The Petri dishes are mostly foggy, but on one there are clear rings of where I put the contact cleaner. I was wondering what that meant. I'm not really even sure what inhibition is. I was hoping someone would be able to help me form a conclusion about my experiment.

I need to solve the double integral of:

y * sqrt(1 + x + y) dxdy , where both limits of integration are 0 to 1

I cannot figure out how to do this by hand! I CANNOT use a calculator or computer program or anything like that.

I walked into my house today and the doorknob felt significantly chilly... yet I didn't feel cold from the air. When I hold my hand out in the open air, why doesn't it feel as cold as my door knob?

Im a scientist myself and I profess Astrology but I'm not one of those Einsteinians and Darwinists.

It was all Christianity and Creationism in Science until a jew and atheist named Einstein and Darwin came along and destroyed our research papers to take revenge for World War against American Christians.

They lied about gravity, they lied about subatomic theorries and they lied about evolution.

Einstien was nothing more than a jew sent by satan to take this country away from God and Holy Bible.

Since those scientists follow his theories they are evil and they will be judged soon.

World is coming to end pretty soon.

What star constillations can be seen From the NEW YORK CITY region( Long Island, Queens, Westchester)?? Despite light pollution many stars are still visible around the NYC suburbs. I'm becoming quite fond of stars and constillations however living in Mineola Long Island ( about 15-20 miles away from new york city) i cant see the stars as clear as many other places in the U.S. How would i know where to begin or what to look at when studying stars in my location. The only form of constillation i can kind of see are the three stars that make the handle for the big dipper. I might not even be to sure about that as well. Can any body please help me identify stars around my region?

a student pushes a 0.85-kg textbook across a cafeteria table toward a friend. As soon as the student withdraws the hand (the force is remobed), the book starts slowing down, coming to a stop after moving 65 cm horizontally. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surfaces in contact is 0.38.

a) how do i draw a system diagram and an FBD diagram of the book as it slows down and calculate the magnitudes of all forces in the diagram.

b) Calculate the work done on the book by the friction of the table.


thanks for any help!
