Verify the identity cot(x-pi/2)=-tan x

Mathematics

To verify the identity we need the following identities:

i) \displaystyle{ \cot(x)= \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}

ii) \displaystyle{ \sin (x-y)=\ sinx\cdot\ cosy -\ siny\cdot\ cosx

iii) \displaystyle{ \cos (x-y)=\ cosx\cdot \ cosy +\ sinx\cdot\ siny.

Also, we have know that \displaystyle{ \sin \frac{ \pi }{2}=1 and \displaystyle{ \cos \frac{ \pi }{2}=0.


Thus, \displaystyle{ \cot(x-\frac{\pi}{2})= \frac{\cos (x-\frac{\pi}{2})}{\sin (x-\frac{\pi}{2})}

By (ii) and (iii) we have:

\displaystyle{ \frac{\cos (x-\frac{\pi}{2})}{\sin (x-\frac{\pi}{2})}= \frac{\ cosx\cdot \ cos\frac{\pi}{2} +\ sinx\cdot\ sin\frac{\pi}{2}}{\ sinx\cdot\ cos\frac{\pi}{2} -\ sin\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot\ cosx} = \frac{\ sinx}{-\cos x}

by simplifying \displaystyle{ \sin \frac{ \pi }{2}=1 and \displaystyle{ \cos \frac{ \pi }{2}=0.

Now, \displaystyle{ \frac{\ sinx}{-\cos x} is clearly -tanx.

You mark the y intercept, and then if the slope is a whole number you give it a denominator of 1, or if it is already a fraction observe, rise over run to calculate each point in the line over the graph.

The balance in Beth's checking account is $75. She must deposit enough money in her account to be able to pay the electric bill,
Evgen [1.6K]
75+d=110  subtract 75 from both sides

d=$35

So she needs to deposit at least $35 to be able to pay the electric bill.

A circle has its center at the center of a square with 26-inch sides. Using 3.14 for pi, find the area of the square not covered
AlladinOne [14]
For squrae
area=side²
perimiter=4(side)

for circle
area=pir²
circumference=2pir

side=diameter, diameter/2=radius=side/2


find area not covered
that is areasquare-areacircle
areasquare=26²=676 sqauare inches
areaciecle, diameter=side, 26/2=13, area=pi13²=169*3.14=530.66 square inches

areanotcovered=676-530.66=145.34 square inches not coverd


ratio of perimiter to circumferece
perimiter=4*26=104
circumference=2pir=2pi13=26pi=26*3.14=81.64
circumference to perimiter is 81.64/104=0.785

Which is the equation of a line that passes through the points (1,4) and (-1,1)
horsena [70]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 3/2x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this line, start by using the two points with the slope formula to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 1)/(1 - -1)

m = 3/(1 + 1)

m = 3/2

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 3/2(x - 1)

y - 4 = 3/2x - 3/2

y = 3/2x + 5/2
