40 = n-.40n

40 =n(1-.4)

40 = n(.6

divide by .6 on each side

Describe in words the similarities and differences in multiplying and dividing complex numbers.

iragen [17]

Answer:

t does not matter if the two numbers are the same for multiplication or division. 4. ( ÷ ) To divide two fractions, take the second fraction, and flip it so that the top number is now on the bottom and vice versa, then multiply the two fractions together like you would for number 3.

A square is shown below. Which expression can be used to find the area, in square units, of the shaded triangle in the square?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Area = $\frac{1}{2} (6)(6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle = $\frac{1}{2} (Base)(Height)$

Where Base = 6 , Height = 6

Area = $\frac{1}{2} (6)(6)$

Area = 3 * 6

<u><em>Area = 18 units^2</em></u>

$\large \bigstar \frak{ } \large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

Consider, LHS

$\begin{gathered}\rm \: \dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - 1 } { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered}$

We know,

$\begin{gathered}\boxed{\sf{ \:\rm \: {sec}^{2}x - {tan}^{2}x = 1 \: \: }} \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \text{So, using this identity, we get} \\ \\ \begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - ( {sec}^{2}\theta - {tan}^{2}\theta )} { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered}$

We know,

$\begin{gathered}\boxed{\sf{ \:\rm \: {x}^{2} - {y}^{2} = (x + y)(x - y) \: \: }} \\ \end{gathered} \\$

So, using this identity, we get

$\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - (sec\theta + tan\theta )(sec\theta - tan\theta )} { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered}$

can be rewritten as

$\begin{gathered}\rm\:=\:\dfrac {(\sec \theta + tan\theta ) - (sec\theta + tan\theta )(sec\theta -tan\theta )} { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac {(\sec \theta + tan\theta ) \: \cancel{(1 - sec\theta + tan\theta )}} { \cancel{ \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1} } \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:sec\theta + tan\theta \\\end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac{1}{cos\theta } + \dfrac{sin\theta }{cos\theta } \\ \end{gathered} \\ \\ \\\begin{gathered}\rm \: = \:\dfrac{1 + sin\theta }{cos\theta } \\ \end{gathered}$

<h2>Hence,</h2>

$\begin{gathered} \\ \rm\implies \:\boxed{\sf{ \:\rm \: \dfrac { \tan \theta + \sec \theta - 1 } { \tan \theta - \sec \theta + 1 } = \:\dfrac{1 + sin\theta }{cos\theta } \: \: }} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$
