Show how to use the distributive property to simplify 4(5+x)

nalin [4]

Answer:

20+4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is quite easy to learn... its just multiplication in an easier form to visualize once you're used to using it.

To first start this problem you want to use the number 4 in the expression 4(5+x). You then want to multiply 4 by both terms inside of the parentheses. So you would do both 4*5 and 4*x. You would then get 20+4x because 4*5=20 and 4*x is just put together as 4x.

Given tan theta =9, use trigonometric identities to find the exact value of each of the following:_______

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$(a)\ \sec^2(\theta) = 82$

$(b)\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{9}$

$(c)\ \cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = 9$

$(d)\ \csc^2(\theta) = \frac{82}{81}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\tan(\theta) = 9$

Required

Solve (a) to (d)

Using tan formula, we have:

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

This gives:

$\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} = 9$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} = \frac{9}{1}$

Using a unit ratio;

$Opposite = 9; Adjacent = 1$

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

$Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2$

$Hypotenuse^2 = 9^2 + 1^2$

$Hypotenuse^2 = 81 + 1$

$Hypotenuse^2 = 82$

Take square roots of both sides

$Hypotenuse =\sqrt{82}$

So, we have:

$Opposite = 9; Adjacent = 1$

$Hypotenuse =\sqrt{82}$

Solving (a):

$\sec^2(\theta)$

This is calculated as:

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\sec(\theta))^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)})^2$

Where:

$\cos(\theta) = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$

$\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{82}}$

So:

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)})^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{82}}})^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\sqrt{82})^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = 82$

Solving (b):

$\cot(\theta)$

This is calculated as:

$\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}$

Where:

$\tan(\theta) = 9$ ---- given

So:

$\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}$

$\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{9}$

Solving (c):

$\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta)$

In trigonometry:

$\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = \tan(\theta)$

Hence:

$\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = 9$

Solving (d):

$\csc^2(\theta)$

This is calculated as:

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\csc(\theta))^2$

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\sin(\theta)})^2$

Where:

$\sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin(\theta) = \frac{9}{\sqrt{82}}$

So:

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{82}}})^2$

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{\sqrt{82}}{9})^2$

$\csc^2(\theta) = \frac{82}{81}$

I think the answer is A. Cause your supposed to subtract so 7n-4n=3n, and 3-2=1 :) I hope this helps
