Answer:

y=x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1--9)/(5--5)

m = (1+9)/(5+5)

= 10/10

= 1

The slope is 1

We have the slope and a point,so we can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-1 = 1(x-5)

y-1 = x-5

Add 1 to each side

y-1+1 = x-5+1

y=x-4

This is slope intercept form (y= mx+b)

Verify the identity by transforming the left-hand side into the right-hand side.

(1 + cos² 3θ) / (sin² 3θ) = 2 csc² 3θ - 1

Starting with the left: Note that cos²θ + sin²θ = 1.
In the same way: cos²3θ + sin²3θ = 1
Therefore cos²3θ = 1 - sin²3θ
 From the top: (1 + cos² 3θ) = 1 + 1 - sin²3θ = 2 - sin²3θ

(1 + cos² 3θ) / (sin² 3θ) = (2 - sin²3θ) / (sin² 3θ) = 2/sin² 3θ - sin²3θ/sin²3θ

= 2/sin² 3θ - 1; But 1/sinθ = cscθ, Similarly 1/sin3θ = csc3θ

= 2 *(1/sin3θ)² - 1
= 2csc²3θ - 1. Therefore LHS = RHS. QED.

A computer is worth $4000 when it is new. After each year it is worth half what it was the previous year. What will its worth be

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: $250

Step-by-step explanation:

The computer reduces by half of its value every year. It is originally valued at $4,000 so the value in 4 years can be calculated by the formula:

= 4,000 * 0.5 ^ number of years

= 4,000 * 0.5⁴

= $250

Another method is to reduce by half every year:

First year = 4,000 / 2 = $2,000
