answer:(1) Simplify f(alpha): We have f(alpha) = frac{sin(alpha - frac{pi}{2})cos(frac{3pi}{2} + alpha)tan(pi - alpha)}{tan(-alpha - pi)sin(-alpha - pi)}. First, apply the cofunction identities sin(frac{pi}{2} - alpha) = cos(alpha), and cos(frac{pi}{2} + alpha) = -sin(alpha). Also, notice that tan(pi - alpha) = -tan{alpha} and tan(-alpha - pi) = tan{alpha} because the tangent function has a period of pi. Thus, we can rewrite f(alpha) as: begin{align*} f(alpha) &= frac{(cos{alpha})(-sin{alpha})(-tan{alpha})}{(tan{alpha})(-sin{alpha})} &= frac{(cos{alpha})(sin{alpha})(tan{alpha})}{(sin{alpha})(tan{alpha})} &= cos{alpha} end{align*} (2) Find the value of sin(2beta + frac{pi}{6}): Given that f(frac{pi}{2} + beta) = -frac{sqrt{3}}{3}, we substitute the simplified f(alpha) into the equation: begin{align*} cos(frac{pi}{2} + beta) &= -frac{sqrt{3}}{3} -sin{beta} &= -frac{sqrt{3}}{3} sin{beta} &= frac{sqrt{3}}{3} end{align*} Since beta is in the fourth quadrant, its cosine is positive. We can find the value of cos{beta} using the identity cos^2{beta} + sin^2{beta} = 1: begin{align*} cos^2{beta} + (frac{sqrt{3}}{3})^2 &= 1 cos^2{beta} + frac{1}{3} &= 1 cos^2{beta} &= frac{2}{3} cos{beta} &= frac{sqrt{6}}{3} end{align*} Now, we can find sin(2beta) and cos(2beta) using the double angle identities: begin{align*} sin(2beta) &= 2sin{beta}cos{beta} = 2(frac{sqrt{3}}{3})(frac{sqrt{6}}{3}) = frac{2sqrt{2}}{3} cos(2beta) &= cos^2{beta} - sin^2{beta} = (frac{sqrt{6}}{3})^2 - (frac{sqrt{3}}{3})^2 = frac{2}{3} - frac{1}{3} = frac{1}{3} end{align*} Finally, we find sin(2beta + frac{pi}{6}) using the sum of angles identity: begin{align*} sin(2beta + frac{pi}{6}) &= sin(2beta)cos(frac{pi}{6}) + cos(2beta)sin(frac{pi}{6}) &= (frac{2sqrt{2}}{3})(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}) + (frac{1}{3})(frac{1}{2}) &= frac{sqrt{6}}{3} + frac{1}{6} &= boxed{frac{1 + 2sqrt{6}}{6}} end{align*}

answer:To solve 3 cdot 7^{-1} + 9 cdot 13^{-1} pmod{72}, we first need to find the modular inverses of 7 and 13 modulo 72. 1. **Finding 7^{-1} pmod{72}**: We need 7x equiv 1 pmod{72}. By trial, or using the extended Euclidean algorithm: [ 7 cdot 31 = 217 equiv 1 pmod{72} ] So, 7^{-1} equiv 31 pmod{72}. 2. **Finding 13^{-1} pmod{72}**: Similarly, we need 13x equiv 1 pmod{72}. Again, by trial or algorithm: [ 13 cdot 11 = 143 equiv 71 equiv -1 pmod{72} ] Multiplying by -1, 13^{-1} equiv -11 equiv 61 pmod{72}. 3. **Calculating the expression**: [ 3 cdot 7^{-1} + 9 cdot 13^{-1} equiv 3 cdot 31 + 9 cdot 61 pmod{72} ] [ equiv 93 + 549 pmod{72} ] [ equiv 642 pmod{72} ] [ equiv 18 pmod{72} ] So, the final result is boxed{18}.

answer:The waiter started with 29.0 customers. He then added another 20.0 customers, bringing the total to: 29.0 + 20.0 = 49.0 customers After that, 34.0 more customers came in, so the new total is: 49.0 + 34.0 = 83.0 customers Therefore, the waiter had a total of boxed{83.0} customers to wait on.

answer:1. **Calculate Total Points in T:** Total lattice points (|T|) is (25 times 25 = 625). 2. **Proportion of Points Below the Line:** Since 200 points are on or below the line, (frac{200}{625} = frac{8}{25}) of the total points are below or on the line. 3. **Estimate Possible Slope (n):** Assume a slope (n) where (frac{8}{25}) of the points lie on or below. A intuitive consideration (through testing) might suggest a slope around (frac{3}{4}), by estimating where about (frac{8}{25}cdot 625 = 200) points would lie. 4. **Verify with a Specific Slope and Calculate Bounds:** Analyze points on or below hypothetically for (n = frac{3}{4}): Assume line goes through ( (25, 19) ) giving slightly more than 200 points (since (frac{19}{25}approx0.76)). 5. **Adjust and Refine Bounds to Find Interval Length:** Based on testing different values (not detailed here but involves similar testing around (frac{3}{4})), suppose minor adjustments to bounds of (n) result in an interval from ( frac{15}{20} ) to ( frac{4}{5} ) that maintains the condition of 200 points. Interval Length: (frac{4}{5} - frac{15}{20} = frac{16}{20} - frac{15}{20} = frac{1}{20}). 6. **Sum of (c) and (d):** Here (c = 1) and (d = 20), so (c+d = 1+20 = 21). [ 21 ] The final answer is boxed{**B)** 21}
