Ok I'm doing home work and need to show why 1/2 of 60 is not the same as 1/2 of 24 please help! It will give you 24 points.

Simple,

1/2 of 60

re-write it as 0.5 of 60 aka 0.5*60

which is 0.5*60=30

Do the same with 1/2 of 24.

0.5 of 24

0.5*24=12.

Thus, it's not the same because they are different numbers and different number give you different answers.

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression sinx/1-sinx

Paha777 [63]

$\bf \textit{difference of squares}
\\\\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
\\\\\\
\textit{also recall that }sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \cfrac{sin(x)}{1-sin(x)}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)}{1-sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1+sin(x)}{1+sin(x)}\implies \stackrel{first~step}{\cfrac{sin(x)[1+sin(x)]}{[1-sin(x)][1+sin(x)]}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)[1+sin(x)]}{1^2-sin^2(x)}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)[1+sin(x)]}{cos^2(x)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)+sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}\implies \cfrac{sin(x)}{cos^2(x)}+ \cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1}{cos(x)}+\cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}\implies tan(x)sec(x)+tan^2(x)
\\\\\\
tan(x)[sec(x)+tan(x)]$

Choose the best description for graphing y = 3x - 5 using the slope and the y-intercept.

expeople1 [14]

3 is the slope, (0,-5) is the y-intercept of the graph.
