[Pre-Calc] Please Help! I don’t know where to start. How do I do this?

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem A)

We have:

$\displaystyle \csc^2\theta \tan^2\theta -1=\tan^2\theta$

When in doubt, convert all reciprocal trig functions and tangent into terms of sine and cosine.

So, let cscθ = 1/sinθ and tanθ = sinθ/cosθ. Hence:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{\sin^2\theta}\right)\left(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}\right)-1=\tan^2\theta$

Cancel:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{\cos^2\theta}-1=\tan^2\theta$

Let 1/cosθ = secθ:

$\sec^2\theta -1=\tan^2\theta$

From the Pythagorean Identity, we know that tan²θ + 1 = sec²θ. Hence, sec²θ - 1 = tan²θ:

$\tan^2\theta =\tan^2\theta$

Problem B)

We have:

$\sin^3x=\sin x-\sin x \cos^2 x$

Factor out a sine:

$\sin x(\sin^2 x)=\sin x-\sin x\cos^2 x$

From the Pythagorean Identity, sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. Hence, sin²θ = 1 - cos²θ:

$\sin x(1-\cos^2 x)=\sin x-\sin x\cos^2x$

Distribute:

$\sin x- \sin x \cos^2 x=\sin x-\sin x\cos^2 x$

Problem C)

We have:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos 2x+1}{\sin 2x}=\cot x$

Recall that cos2θ = cos²θ - sin²θ and that sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos^2 x-\sin^2 x+1}{2\sin x\cos x}=\cot x$

From the Pythagorean Identity, sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 so cos²θ = 1 - sin²θ:

$\displaystyle \frac{2\cos^2 x}{2\sin x\cos x}=\cot x$

Cancel:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}=\cot x$

By definition:

$\cot x = \cot x$

What is the slope of a line that includes the points (-5, 1) and (-2, 3).

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Work with the two points

Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Givens

y2 = 3

y1 = 1

x2 = - 2

x1 = - 5

Solution

m = (3 - 1) / (-2 - - 5)

m = 2 / (-2 + 5)

m = 2 / 3

The horizontal line segment at the top of the polygon on the grid below is how many units long?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

6 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A polygon drawn on a graph.

In order to determine the distance of the horizontal line at the top, we find the coordinates of the end points and then use distance formula to find the exact distance.

Let us label the polygon as ABCD as shown below. AB is the length of the horizontal line.

Coordinates of A are $(x_1,y_1)=(-3, 4)$ as seen in the graph.

Coordinates of B are $(x_2,y_2)=( 3, 4)$ as seen in the graph.

Now, distance formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d_{AB}=\sqrt{(3-(-3))^2+(4-4)^2}\\d_{AB}=\sqrt{(3+3)^2+0}\\d_{AB}=\sqrt{36}=6\ units$

Therefore, the horizontal line at the top is 6 units long.
