1-sin^2x/sinx-cscx How do I solve this problem? I keep getting the wrong answer.

Answer:

-sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x

so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx

it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx

knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx

(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)

now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....

cos^2x

---------------------

(sin^2x - 1)/sinx

notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x

so now it becomes:

cos^2x

--------------

-cos^2x/sinx

because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it

cos^2x          sinx

---------- * ----------------

1                  -  cos^2x

because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1

now the answer is -sinx

Sallys statement is always true
for example:
-6 + 2 = -4
but if I turn it around
2 - 6 = -4
same answer

-6 -6 = -12
swap around -6 - 6 = 12
same answer

again -3 + 6 = 3
and 6 - 3 = 3

(y - 2)2 = y2 – 6y + 4<br> Is this statement true or false?
trasher [3.6K]
<h3>Answer: False</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to type out

(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4

This equation is not true for all real numbers because the left hand side expands out like so

(y-2)^2

(y-2)(y-2)

x(y-2) .... let x = y-2

xy-2x

y(x)-2(x)

y(y-2)-2(y-2) ... replace x with y-2

y^2-2y-2y+4

y^2-4y+4

So if the claim was (y-2)^2 = y^2-4y+4, then the claim would be true. However, the right hand side we're given doesn't match up with y^2-4y+4

--------------------------

Another approach is to pick some y value such as y = 2 to find that

(y-2)^2 = y^2-6y+4

(2-2)^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4 .... plug in y = 2

0^2 = 2^2 - 6(2) + 4

0 = 4 - 6(2) + 4

0 = 4 - 12 + 4

0 = -4

We get a false statement. This is one counterexample showing the given equation is not true for all values of y.

To eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied by before ad
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

use -9 to multiply the first equation

use -4 to multiply the second equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-4y=28.....eqn (1)×-9

3x-9y=30....eqn(2)×-4

-45x+36y=-252

-(-12x+36y=-120)

therefore, -33x÷33 =-132÷-33

x=4.

substitute (x=4) in any of the equation. I'm just going to use eqn 1.

5x-4y=28

5(4)-4y=28

20-4y=28

-4y =28-20

-4y÷-4 = 8÷-4

y=-2

so, x=4, y=-2

Note: for proof of answers substitute the answers for x and y and see if you have the same result...e.g

5(4)-4(-2)=28.

The quadrilaterals ABCD and JKLM are similar.
Paha777 [63]

Answer: 4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional, so

\frac{x}[4}=\frac{6}[5}\\\\x=4\left(\frac{6}{5} \right)=\boxed{4.8}
