If points f and g are symmetric with respect to the line y=x, then the line connecting f and g is perpendicular to y=x, and f and g are equidistant from y=x.

This problem could be solved graphically by graphing y=x and (8,-1).  With a ruler, measure the perpendicular distance from y=x of (8,-1), and then plot point g that distance from y=x in the opposite direction.  Read the coordinates of point g from the graph.

Alternatively, calculate the distance from y=x of (8,-1).  As before, this distance is perpendicular to y=x and is measured along the line y= -x + b, where b is the vertical intercept of this line.  What is b?  y = -x + b must be satisfied by (8,-1):  -1 = -8 + b, or b = 7.  Then the line thru (8,-1) perpendicular to y=x is     y = -x + 7.  Where does this line intersect y = x?

y = x = y = -x + 7, or 2x = 7, or x = 3.5.  Since y=x, the point of intersection of y=x and y= -x + 7 is (3.5, 3.5).

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between (3.5, 3.5) and (8, -1).  This produces the answer to this question.

1-sin^2x/sinx-cscx <br><br>How do I solve this problem? I keep getting the wrong answer.
Annette [7]

Answer:

-sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x

so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx

it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx

knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx

(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)

now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....

cos^2x

---------------------

(sin^2x - 1)/sinx

notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x

so now it becomes:

cos^2x

--------------

-cos^2x/sinx

because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it

cos^2x          sinx

---------- * ----------------

1                  -  cos^2x

because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1

now the answer is -sinx

What is the value of 4p-2 when p=8
3241004551 [841]

Answer: Hence, the value of expression is 30 when p = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

4p-2

and we have p = 8.

So, we substitute the value of p in the above expression.

so, it becomes,

4(8)-2\\\\4\times 8-2\\\\=32-2\\\\=30

Hence, the value of expression is 30 when p = 8.
