There are a total of 20 lions, tigers, and bears. if the number of tigers is two more than the number of lions and the number of bears is one more than the number of tigers, find the number of each.

Arley is building a model of a city map. in one part of the city, three roads form a right triangle, which harley draws as triangle abc, with the following measures: m∠b=90° and m∠a=30°. in his scale model, the hypotenuse of triangle abc, ac¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, has a length of 817−−√ cm. what is the value of a (the length of bc¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)?

Prove (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1 and (b) 1 − tanh 2(x) = sech 2(x). solution (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = ex + e−x 2 2 − 2 = e2x + 2 + e−2x 4 − = 4 = . (b) we start with the identity proved in part (a): cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1. if we divide both sides by cosh2(x), we get 1 − sinh2(x) cosh2(x) = 1 or 1 − tanh 2(x) = .
