So you know that a pound of rice crackers cost $2.88. You also know that Matthew bought 1/4 or 25% or 0.25 of a pound. This means that by multiplying 0.25 by $2.88, you can determine the cost.

0.25 x 2.88 = $0.72
Therefore, Matthew paid 72 cents or $0.72 for 1/4 pound of rice crackers

Which expression is the simplest form of (27x^-9)^1/3?

lana [24]

$\sqrt[n]{a^m}=a^\frac{m}{n}\\\\\sqrt[n]{a}=a^\frac{1}{n}\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\(a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n\\\\(27x^{-9})^\frac{1}{3}=27^\frac{1}{3}(x^{-9})^\frac{1}{3}=\sqrt[3]{27}\cdot x^{-9\cdot\frac{1}{3}}=3x^{-3}=\dfrac{3}{x^3}$

Prove this trigonometric equation;<br><br> - tan^2x + sec^2x = 1,

alekssr [168]

Hey there :)

- tan²x + sec²x = 1 or 1 + tan²x = sec²x

sin²x + cos²x = 1
Divide the whole by cos²x

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

$\frac{sinx}{cosx} = tanx$ so $\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} = tan^2x$
and
$\frac{1}{cosx} = secx$ so $\frac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x$

Therefore,
tan²x + 1 = sec²x
Take tan²x to the other side {You will have the same answer}

1 = - tan²x = sec²x or sec²x - tanx = 1
