Corrected Question

Suppose that y and z are points on a number line if yz equals 16 and y lies at -4. Where could z be located?

Answer:

z would be located at -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the product of y and z, yz=16

Point y lies at -4.

Substituting y=-4 into yz=16, we obtain:

$-4z=16$

Divide both sides by -4

$z=-4$

Therefore, z would be located at -4, which is the same point at which y is located.

y and z are the same points on the number line.

We know our result is correct because the product of two negative numbers is positive.

( 1 - cos²x ) secx

=> sin²x . secx

Here the rule ( rule 1 ) is the first trigonometric identity [ sin²A + cos²A = 1 ] by simplifying we have , [ 1 - cos²A = sin² ] . So here we substituted 1 - cos²x = sin²x .

=> sin²x [ 1/cosx ]

Here the rule ( rule 2 ) is secx = 1/cosx . So here we substituted secx = 1/cosx .

=> sinx [ sinx/cosx ]

Here the rule ( rule 3 ) is sin²x can be written as sinx . sinx , so we get sinx . sinx [ 1/cosx ] next by simplifying , sinx [ sinx/cosx ].

=> sinx tanx

Here the rule ( rule 4 ) is , in the above we got sinx/cosx and here we know that , sinx/cosx = tanx . So we have tan x .

What is 8(1/4x-3)+24<4(x+5)

Sergio039 [100]

Hey there!

We can solve inequalities just like equations. There is only one difference though. If you ever multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you "flip" the inequality sign.

First, let's undo the parentheses.

2x-24+24<4x+20

We simplify.

2x<4x+20

We subtract 4x from both sides.

-2x<20

We divide both sides by -2 (we will need to flip the inequality sign).

x>-10

I hope this helps!
