Answer:

y = 12 when x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of direct variation, and the pertinent equation is y = kx.

Substituting 2 for x and 3 for y, we get: 3 = 2k. Then k = 3/2 is the constant of proportionality.

Then y = (3/2)x.

When x = 8, y = (3/2)(8) = 12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=2 was multiplied by 4 to get to x=8 so you multiply y=3 by 4 to make it y=12

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sec^2x - tan^2x - 2sinx.cos x.$

Required

Prove

To start with; we open the bracket on the left hand side

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

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

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x -sinx cos x - sin xcos x + cos^2 x$

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x -2sinx cos x + cos^2 x$

Reorder

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x + cos^2 x - 2sinx cos x$

From trigonometry;

$sin^2x + cos^2x = 1$

So;

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sin^2 x + cos^2 x - 2sinx cos x$

becomes

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

Also from trigonometry;

$sec^2x - tan^2x = 1$

So,

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

becomes

$(sin x - cos x)^2 = sec^2x - tan^2x - 2sinx cos x$

-70y^2+90x^3+100yx^2-63xy<br>factor by grouping

Alexeev081 [22]

The idea of grouping is to get the terms in groups that allow you to factor out from each group something that becomes a factor in itself, leaving two factors behind that are alike. Like this: rearrange those terms so they are in this order:
(-70y^2 - 63xy) + (90x^3 + 100yx^2). Now out of the first set we are going to factor out a -7y, and out of the second set we are going to factor out a 10x^2. When we do this, this is what we get: -7y(10y + 9x) + 10x^2(9x + 10y). As you can see, what's inside both sets of parenthesis is the same, just in a different order. We can factor that out now, leaving (9x + 10y)(10x^2 - 7y). And that is factored by grouping.
