Verify this identity: show work cot(x-pi/2)= -tanx

Mathematics
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago

-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)

PLEASEEE HELPPPP MEE WITH LINE PLOTSSS I DONT UNDERSTAND THISSSS
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

3. Look at the least amount of time practicing. That is 1/4 hours. Then look at the most time practicing, an hour and a half. Subtract 1  1/2 by 1/4.

4. Look at the dots in the plot. The one in the middle is the highest because it appears the most. The most common time is 3/4 of an hour.

5. To see the total time, add all of the numbers up, including the repeated ones.

The circle below is centred at point (2,-1) and has a radius of length 3 what is its equation ?
NeTakaya

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of a cirle is:

(x-h)^2+ (y-k)^2=r^2

In the given question as the point is given and the radius of circle is given:

So,

(h,k)=(2,-1)

and

r=3

Here,

h=2

k= -1

Putting the values of h,k and r in standard form

(x-2)^2+ (y-(-1))^2=(3)^2

(x-2)^2+ (y+1)^2=(3)^2

So the equation of circle is:

(x-2)^2+ (y+1)^2=9(3)^2

Option C is the correct answer ..

Suppose a certain computer virus can enter a system through an email or through a webpage. There is a 40% chance of receiving th
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

P = 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, that is the probability of receiving this virus through the email.

-Set B, that is the probability of receiving it through the webpage.

The most important information in these kind of problems is the intersection. That is, that he virus enters the system simultaneously by both email and webpage with a probability of 0.17. It means that A \cap B = 0.17.

By email only

The problem states that there is a 40 chance of receiving it through the email. It means that we have the following equation:

A + (A \cap B) = 0.40

A + 0.17 = 0.40

A = 0.23

where A is the probability that the system receives the virus just through the email.

The problem states that there is a 40% chance of receiving it through the email. 23% just through email and 17% by both the email and the webpage.

By webpage only

There is a 35% chance of receiving it through the webpage. With this information, we have the following equation:

B + (A \cap B) = 0.35

B + 0.17 = 0.35

B = 0.18

where B is the probability that the system receives the virus just through the webpage.

The problem states that there is a 35% chance of receiving it through the webpage. 18% just through the webpage and 17% by both the email and the webpage.

What is the probability that the virus does not enter the system at all?

So, we have the following probabilities.

- The virus does not enter the system: P

- The virus enters the system just by email: 23% = 0.23

- The virus enters the system just by webpage: 18% = 0.18

- The virus enters the system both by email and by the webpage: 17% = 0.17.

The sum of the probabilities is 100% = 1. So:

P + 0.23 + 0.18 + 0.17 = 1

P = 1 - 0.58

P = 0.42

There is a probability of 42% that the virus does not enter the system at all.
