-tan(x) = cot(x - \frac{\pi}{2})
-tan(x) = \frac{cos(x - \frac{\pi}{2})}{sin(x - \frac{\pi}{2})}
-tan(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{-cos(x)}
-tan(x) = -tan(x)

There :).

The most important thing to note here is that cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2}) = sin(x)
and sin(x-\frac{\pi}{2}) = -cos(x)

Normally, over time you end up memorizing these two identities since you use them so often, but proving them is very easy:

cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2}) = cos(x)cos(\frac{\pi}{2}) + sin(x)sin(\frac{\pi}{2}) = cos(x)*0 + sin(x) * 1
= sin(x)

sin(x-\frac{\pi}{2}) = sin(x)cos(\frac{\pi}{2}) - cos(x)sin(\frac{\pi}{2}) = sin(x) * 0 - cos(x) * 1
= -cos(x)

You triple your account balance by making a deposit. Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. Now your account is overdr
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = your original account balance.

You triple your account balance by making a deposit. This means

New account balance = 3 × x = 3x

Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. This means that you have $(3x - 28.5) left.

Now your account is overdrawn by $10.50. This means you have withdrawn beyond what you have in your account. Your new account balance is -$10.5. Therefore,

3x - 28.5 = - 10.5

3x = -10.5 + 28.5 = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6

A student needed to prepare 500mL of 1X TAE buffer to run a QC gel. The stock solution in the lab is 5X TAE. What volumes of sto
Xelga [282]

Answer:

you need 100ml of 5X TAE and 400ml of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use a rule of three:

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where:

\left \{ {{C_1= 5X} \atop {C_2=1X}} \right.

and

\left \{ {{V_1 = V_{TAE}} \atop {V_2=500ml}} \right.

Therefore:

V_{TAE} = \frac{V_2*C_2}{C_1}

V_{TAE} = 100ml

Then just rest the TAE volume to the final Volume and you get the amount of water that you need to reduce the concentration.

What is the explicit rule for the sequence? −3, 0,3,6,9,... Enter your answer in the box.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

  • aₙ = 3n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sequence:</u>

  • −3, 0,3,6,9,...

<u>This is AP with:</u>

  • The first tern a₁ = - 3
  • Common difference d = 3

<u>The rule for the nth term of the sequence is:</u>

  • aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

<u>Substitute values:</u>

  • aₙ = -3 + (n - 1)(3) =
  •       -3 + 3n - 3 =
  •        3n - 6
