Answer:

We are given the tangent function f(x)=\tan x.

Firstly we know that, \tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}, where \sin x is the sine function and \cos x is the cosine function.

Now, tangent function will be zero when its numerator is zero.

i.e. \tan x=0 when \sin x=0.

i.e. \tan x=0 when x=n \pi, where n is the set of integers.

So, tangent function crosses x-axis at n \pi, n is the set of integers.

Further, tangent function will be undefined when its denominator is zero.

i.e. \tan x=0 when \cos x=0.

i.e. \tan x=0 when x=(2n-1) \frac{\pi}{2}, where n is the set of integers.

Moreover, a zero in the denominator gives vertical asymptotes.

So, tangent function will have vertical asymptotes at (2n-1) \frac{\pi}{2}, n is the set of integers.

Therefore, these key features gives us the graph of a tangent function as shown below.

Tangent is sine over cosine. Since sine and cosine are periodic, then tangent has to be, as well.–π to –π/2: The tangent will be zero wherever its numerator (the sine) is zero. This happens at 0, π, 2π, 3π, etc, and at –π, –2π, –3π, etc. The tangent will be undefined wherever its denominator (the cosine) is zero. A zero in the denominator means you'll have a vertical asymptote. So the tangent will have vertical asymptotes wherever the cosine is zero.

Express the following as:<br>ax+by+c=0<br><br>-2x+3y=6​
Cerrena [4.2K]

The expression -22x + 3y = 6 in the form ax + by + c = 0 is -2x + 3y - 6 = 0

<h3>Linear Equations</h3>

The given equation is:

-2x + 3y = 6

Comparing the equation above with ax + by + c = 0

Rewrite -2x + 3y = 6 in the form ax + by + c = 0

-2x + 3y - 6 = 0

If -2x + 3y - 6 = 0 is compared with ax + by + c = 0

a = -2, b = 3, c = -6

Therefore, the expression-22x + 3y = 6 in the form ax + by + c = 0 is -2x + 3y - 6 = 0

C + 1/4c<br> please help me i need this done now
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

1\frac{1}{4} c

Step-by-step explanation:

c+\frac{1}{4}c

Rewrite the expression

= 1c+\frac{1}{4} c

Add

= 1\frac{1}{4} c

Therefore, c+\frac{1}{4}c is equal to 1\frac{1}{4} c.

I hope this helps!

Can someone help me with these 2 last homework questions<br><br> Thanks

31a) Think of $30.90 as 100% of her bill, we first want to find 6%
To work out how much this is, we need to divide the percentage by 100 to get a multiplier (decimal)
6/100 = 0.06
Multiply 0.06 and $30.90 to get the tax
$30.90 x 0.06 = 1.854
As we can't have part of a cent, we round to the nearest 100th
If the number to the right of this value is below 5 we round down, 5 or more we round up
4 is below 5 so we round down
$1.85

31b) For the total bill, we need to add together the original and the tax
$30.90 + $1.85 = $32.75

32a) Simple Interest = PRT
This means
P x R x T
We need to multiply together the Principal, Rate and Time span
We need to turn the percentage into a decimal, so we divide by 100 like before
3.2 / 100 = 0.032
$750 x 0.032 x 6 = $144

32b) To find the account balance, we need to add the interest to the original amount
$750 + $144 = $894
