Explanation

A transitive verb needs a direct object to complete its meaning.

In this sentence, "brought" is the transitive verb and "a gift" is its direct object.

Explanation

Carbon has a valency of 4, and Oxygen has a valency of 2.

By crossing the valencies, we get CO₂ (i.e., one carbon and two oxygen atoms), and the ratio simplifies to the empirical and molecular formula: CO₂.

Explanation

Given cos θ = 4/5 and θ lies in the 4th quadrant.

In the 4th quadrant, cosine is positive, and sine is negative.

We know that sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

sin² θ = 1 - cos² θ

= 1 - (4/5)²

= 1 - 16/25

= 9/25

sin θ = ±√(9/25)

= ±3/5

Since θ lies in the 4th quadrant, sin θ is negative:

sin θ = -3/5

Explanation

Given:

a² + b² + c² = 12

a + b + c = 5

We know that:

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ca)

Expanding the equation:

5² = 12 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

25 = 12 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

Subtract 12 from both sides:

13 = 2(ab + bc + ca)

Divide by 2:

ab + bc + ca = 13/2

Explanation

The LCM of 8 and 24 is 24 (since 24 is a multiple of 8).

The common multiples are: 24, 48, 72, 96 (4th common multiple).
