(csc x-1)(csc x+1)=csc²x-1²=csc²x-1=(1/sin x)² -1=1/sin x² - sin²x/sin²x=
=(1-sin²x)/sin² x = cos² x/ sin² x = (cos x/sin x)²= (cot x)²
The answer is y-4=-3(x-13)
Part a: subtract 48-30=18
Part b: i found it by subtracting 48 -30 because it says left over
Given the function:

Let's find the amplitude and period of the function.
Apply the general cosine function:

Where A is the amplitude.
Comparing both functions, we have:
A = 1
b = 4
Hence, we have:
Amplitude, A = 1
To find the period, we have:

Therefore, the period is = π/2
The graph of the function is shown below:
The parent function of the given function is:

Let's describe the transformation..
Apply the transformation rules for function.
We have:
The transformation that occured from f(x) = cosx to g(x) = cos4x using the rules of transformation can be said to be a horizontal compression.
ANSWER:
Amplitude = 1
Period = π/2
Transformation = horizontal compression.
