Describe how to sketch the graph of y=2sec(x)-3 using its reciprocal function
blagie [28]
The reciprocal function referred here is the inverse trigonometric function identities. The inverse or reciprocal function of sec x is 1/cos x. Replacing secant with cosine, the equation becomes:

y = (2/cos x) - 3

To graph this, assign random values of x, then you'll get corresponding values of y. Plot the points and connect them together. The graph is shown in the attached picture.

Point G bisects the line segment FH. The length of FG is 16 less than 3 times the length of GH. What is the length of FH?
charle [14.2K]

Answer: FH = 16

<h2><u>PART I</u></h2><h2 />

Concept:

Bisect means to cut or divide something into two equal parts.

In mathematics, usually bisect means cutting a segment or an angle.

If you are still confused, you may refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation or tell me.

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

FG is 16 less than 3 times the length of GH

Let x be the length of GH

<u>Given expression</u>

FG = GH

<u>Set equation</u>

3x - 16 = x

<u>Add 16 on both sides</u>

3x - 16 + 16 = x + 16

3x = x + 16

<u>Subtract x on both sides</u>

3x - x = x + 16 - x

2x = 16

<u>Divide 2 on both sides</u>

2x / 2 = 16 / 2

x=8

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

<h2><u>PART II</u></h2><h2><u /></h2>

Concept:

In order to find the length of FH, we need to know the idea of the segment addition postulate.

The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

FG = GH = x

x = 8

<u>Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate</u>

FH = FG + GH

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

FH = x + x

FH = 8 + 8

\boxed {FH=16}

Hope this helps!! :)
