Answer:

-1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out the gradient of the line, we use this equation:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Substituting in, we get:

$\frac{5 - ( - 4)}{ - 2 - 4}$

Which simplifies to:

$\frac{9}{ - 6} = \frac{3}{ - 2} = - \frac{3}{2} = - 1.5$

A triangle has 2 sides measuring 12cm and 4cm. What could be the possible lengths of the 3rd side. (Please explain in steps)

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the triangle inequality theorem:

12cm, 4cm, xcm

x > 4cm - 12cm

x > -8cm

x < 12cm - 4cm

x < 8cm

-8cm < x < 8cm

How do i prove 2sec^2x-2sec^2xsin^2-sin^2x-cos^2x=1

kramer

$2\sec^2x-2\sec^2x\sin^2x-\sin^2x-\cos^2x=2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)$

Since $\sin^2x+\cos^2x=1$ , you have

$2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)=2\sec^2x\cos^2x-1$

and since $\sec x=\dfrac1{\cos x}$ , you end up with $2-1=1$ .
