Let's prove that (sec x)(csc x) is equal to cot x + tan x

\Longrightarrow  \sf (sec(x) )(csc(x))

\Longrightarrow  \sf \dfrac{1}{\cos \left(x\right)\sin \left(x\right)}

\Longrightarrow  \sf \dfrac{\cos ^2\left(x\right)+\sin ^2\left(x\right)}{\cos \left(x\right)\sin \left(x\right)}

\Longrightarrow  \sf \dfrac{\cos ^2\left(x\right)}{\cos \left(x\right)\sin \left(x\right)} + \dfrac{\sin ^2\left(x\right)}{\cos \left(x\right)\sin \left(x\right)}

\Longrightarrow  \sf \dfrac{\cos\left(x\right)}{\sin \left(x\right)} + \dfrac{\sin \left(x\right)}{\cos \left(x\right)}

\Longrightarrow  \sf cot(x)  + tan(x)

Hence student A did correctly prove the identity properly.

Also Looking at student B's work, he verified the identity properly.

So, Both are correct in their own way.

<h3>Part B</h3>

Identities used:

\rightarrow \sf sin^2 (x) + cos^2 (x) = 1       (appeared in step 3)

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{cos(x) }{sin(x) }  = cot(x)               (appeared in step 6)

\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{sin(x )}{cos(x) }  = tan(x)               (appeared in step 6)

If y varies directly as x, and y=6 as x=-1, find y for the x-value of 5
Tema [17]

Answer:

y=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

y varies directly as x

so, we can write equation as

y=kx

where

k is constant of proportionality

We have

at x=-1 , y=6

so, we can use it to find k

6=k(-1)

so, we get

k=-6

now, we can plug it back

y=-6x

now, we can plug x=5

and we get

y=-6\times 5

y=-30

A limousine company charges a fixed cost for a limousine and an hourly rate for it's driver. It cost $500 to rent a limousine fo
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: the fixed cost to rent the limousine is $200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the fixed cost rent the limousine.

Let y represent the cost of of hiring the driver of the limousine per hour.

It cost $500 to rent a limousine for 5 hours. This means that

x + 5y = 500 - - - - - - - - - - -1

It costs 800 to rent a limousine for 10 hours. This means that

x + 10y = 800 - - - - - - - - - - -2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

- 5y = - 300

y = - 300 /- 5

y = 60

Substituting y = 60 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 5 × 60 = 500

x + 300 = 500

x = 500 - 300

x = 200
