Prove that sin(x)/1-cos(x) = 2 · csc(x) using trigonometric identities. Show all steps taken.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(x) + tan(x)=sin(X) + sin(x)/cos(x)

=sinx(1+1/cosx)

=sinx(1+secx)

=1+secx/cosecx. (Since sinx=1/cosecx)

Hence LHS=RHS proved

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 87. Find the integers.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

28, 29, and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

There's probably better ways but you can estimate by knowing 30*3=90 so it should be somewhere pretty close to 30. Guess and check with basic calculations to get 28, 29, and 30.

Write the equation of the line if the slope = -3/5 and the line passes through (-4, 0). Show your work.
topjm [15]

Answer:

3x+5y+12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

This information is given in the question:

m=-3/5

x1=-4

y1=0

The formula for the equation of a line is:

y-y1=m (x-x1)

From this we can make a substitution

y-0=-3/5 (x--4)

Next simplify

y=-3/5 (x+4)

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5

5y=-3x-12

Make the right side of the equation equal to zero

3x+5y+12=0

This is the equation of the line in general form.
