A. 16 is divisible by 2 but not divisible by 3
B. 23 is not divisible neither by 2 nor 3
C. 27 is not divisible by 2, however it's divisible by 3
D. 36 is divisible both by 2 and 3

So the only number we can focus on is 36:

36 ÷ 2 = 18
36 ÷ 3 = 12
36 ÷ 6 = 6

Answer: D, 36 supports the given conjecture.

jesse has 18 cups of flour to make 78 pancakes . how many pancakes can jesse make with 12 cups of flour

Lynna [10]

78÷18=4.3333333
so it's 4.33333 many pancakes with one cup
so then you multiply 4.33333... by 12 which equals 52

So you can make 52 pancakes with 12 cups of flour

Given: The following functions

$A)cos^2\theta=sin^2\theta-1$ $B)sin\theta=\frac{1}{csc\theta}$ $\begin{gathered} C)sec\theta=\frac{1}{cot\theta} \\ D)cot\theta=\frac{cos\theta}{sin\theta} \\ E)1+cot^2\theta=csc^2\theta \end{gathered}$

To Determine: The trigonometry identities given in the functions

Solution

Verify each of the given function

$\begin{gathered} cos^2\theta=sin^2\theta-1 \\ Note\text{ that} \\ sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1 \\ cos^2\theta=1-sin^2\theta \\ Therefore \\ cos^2\theta sin^2\theta-1,NOT\text{ }IDENTITIES \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} sin\theta=\frac{1}{csc\theta} \\ Note\text{ that} \\ csc\theta=\frac{1}{sin\theta} \\ sin\theta\times csc\theta=1 \\ sin\theta=\frac{1}{csc\theta} \\ Therefore \\ sin\theta=\frac{1}{csc\theta},is\text{ an identities} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} sec\theta=\frac{1}{cot\theta} \\ note\text{ that} \\ cot\theta=\frac{1}{tan\theta} \\ tan\theta cot\theta=1 \\ tan\theta=\frac{1}{cot\theta} \\ Therefore, \\ sec\theta\ne\frac{1}{cot\theta},NOT\text{ IDENTITY} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} cot\theta=\frac{cos\theta}{sin\theta} \\ Note\text{ that} \\ cot\theta=\frac{1}{tan\theta} \\ cot\theta=1\div tan\theta \\ tan\theta=\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta} \\ So, \\ cot\theta=1\div\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta} \\ cot\theta=1\times\frac{cos\theta}{sin\theta} \\ cot\theta=\frac{cos\theta}{sin\theta} \\ Therefore \\ cot\theta=\frac{cos\theta}{sin\theta},is\text{ an Identity} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} 1+cot^2\theta=csc^2\theta \\ csc^2\theta-cot^2\theta=1 \\ csc^2\theta=\frac{1}{sin^2\theta} \\ cot^2\theta=\frac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta} \\ So, \\ \frac{1}{sin^2\theta}-\frac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta} \\ \frac{1-cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta} \\ Note, \\ cos^2\theta+sin^2\theta=1 \\ sin^2\theta=1-cos^2\theta \\ So, \\ \frac{1-cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}=\frac{sin^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}=1 \\ Therefore \\ 1+cot^2\theta=csc^2\theta,\text{ is an Identity} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the following are identities
