Answer:

number of ways = 720

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways six people sit in a six-passenger car is given by the number of permutations of 6 elements in 6 different positions ( seats), then

number of ways = number of permutations of 6 elements = 6! = 6 * 5 * 4 *3 * 2 * 1 = 720

Since the first person that sits can be on any of the seats , but then the second person that sits can choose any of 5 seats (since the first person had already occupied one) , the third can choose 4 ... and so on.

The point (2,-4) is on the line given by which equation below?

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

C ) y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

(2, -4)

y = -2x

subsitute x for the value of x

y = -2(2)

-2 × 2 = -4

y = -4

the equation for the point (2, -4) is

y = -2x

Show that √(1-cos A/1+cos A) =cosec A - cot A

Gennadij [26K]

Hi there!

$\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} =$

We can begin by multiplying by its conjugate:

$\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} * \sqrt{\frac{1+cosA}{1+cosA}} = \\\\\sqrt{\frac{(1-cosA)(1 + cosA)}{(1+cosA)(1 + cosA)}} =$

Simplify using the identity:

$1 - cos^2A = sin^2A$

$\sqrt{\frac{(1-cos^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =\\\\\sqrt{\frac{(sin^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =$

Take the square root of the expression:

${\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} =$

Multiply again by the conjugate to get a SINGLE term in the denominator:

${\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} * {\frac{1-cosA}{1-cosA} =\\$

Simplify:

${\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{1-cos^2A} =$

Use the above trig identity one more:

${\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{sin^2A} =$

Cancel out sinA:

${\frac{(1-cosA)}{sinA} =$

Split the fraction into two:

${\frac{1}{sinA} - \frac{cosA}{sinA} =$

Recall:

$1/sinA = cscA\\\\cosA/sinA = cotA$

Simplify:

$\frac{1}{sinA} + \frac{cosA}{sinA} = \boxed{cscA - cotA}$

A store sells rope by the meter. The equation p=0.8L represents the price p(in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meter

Margaret [11]

Answer:

1. $0.80 or 80 cents

2. 1.25 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation p=0.8L represents the price p (in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meters long.

1. To find how much the nylon costs per meter, take L = 1 (this means you are calculating the price of a piece of nylon rope that is 1 meter long):

$L=1,\\ \\p=\$0.8\cdot 1=\$0.80$

2. To find how long a piece of nylon rope that costs $1.00 is, substitute into the equation p = 1:

$p=1,\\ \\1=0.8L\\ \\L=\dfrac{1}{0.8}=\dfrac{10}{8}=\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25\ meters$
