Answer:
c. the leading coefficient is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a stop sign is an octagon it has eight sides. So the perimeter will be:
p=8x, p=perimeter and x=side length. We are told that the perimeter is equal to:
16x^2-80x so we can say:
16x^2-80x=8x subtract 8x from both sides
16x^2-88x=0 factor out 8x
8x(2x-11), since we know x>0
x=11/2
x=5.5 units
Answer:
1 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
here you go :)
(tanθ + cotθ)² = sec²θ + csc²θ
<u>Expand left side</u>: tan²θ + 2tanθcotθ + cot²θ
<u>Evaluate middle term</u>: 2tanθcotθ = = 2
⇒ tan²θ + 2+ cot²θ
= tan²θ + 1 + 1 + cot²θ
<u>Apply trig identity:</u> tan²θ + 1 = sec²θ
⇒ sec²θ + 1 + cot²θ
<u>Apply trig identity:</u> 1 + cot²θ = csc²θ
⇒ sec²θ + csc²θ
Left side equals Right side so equation is verified
