Answer:

Step 2 has an error

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

2(10 - 13x) = -34x + 60

By distributive property,

20 - 26x = -34x + 60

Now, we need to isolate x on the left side of the equation,

For this we need to eliminate constant term from the left side,

20 will be eliminated by subtracting 20 from both sides ( subtraction property of equality )

I.e. Step 2 has an error,

We need to use subtraction property of equality instead of using addition property of Equality,

Note : The correct steps would be,

Step 2 : 20 - 26x = -34x + 60 ( Subtraction property of equality )

Step 3 : 8x = 40 ( addition property of Equality )

Step 4 : x = 5 ( Division Property of Equality )

The error lies in step 2

You subtract 20. To 60, not add

Prove that 1/sec0-tan0= sec0+tan0

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{LHS}=\frac{1}{\sec \theta-\tan \theta}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)(\sec \theta+\tan \theta)}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{\sec^{2} \theta-\tan^{2} \theta}\\=\frac{\sec \theta+\tan \theta}{1}\\=\sec \theta+\tan \theta\\=\text{RHS}$

Solve<br><br> 3n - 5p + 2n = 10p for n

Tomtit [17]

3n - 5p + 2n = 10p

Since we are solving for n, you want to have all the terms containing the variable n on the left side of the equation and everything else on the right side.

Let's do this by adding 5p to both sides.

3n + 2n = 10p + 5p

Now combine like terms.

5n = 15p

Divide both sides by 5 since we are solving for the variable n.

n = 3p

Find the derivative of f(x) = x/6 at x = -2.

AfilCa [17]

$f'(x_0)=\lim\limits_{x\to x_0}\dfrac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}\\\\f(x)=\dfrac{x}{6};\ x_0=-2\\\\subtitute\\\\f'(-2)=\lim\limits_{x\to-2}\dfrac{\frac{x}{6}-\frac{-2}{6}}{x-(-2)}=\lim\limits_{x\to-2}\dfrac{\frac{x}{6}+\frac{2}{6}}{x+2}=\lim\limits_{x\to-2}\dfrac{\frac{x+2}{6}}{x+2}\\\\=\lim\limits_{x\to-2}\left(\dfrac{x+2}{6}\cdot\dfrac{1}{x+2}\right)=\lim\limits_{x\to-2}\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}$
