Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

sin x cos x = cot x

We need to show a counter example

Let's use 30 degrees

sin 30 cos 30 = cot 30

1/2 * sqrt(3) /2 = sqrt(3)

sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)

not true

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(60) = sqrt(3)/2

cos(60) = ½

tan(60) = sqrt(3)

cot(60) = 1/sqrt(3) = sqrt(3)/3

sin(60) cos(60) = cot(60)

sqrt(3)/2 × ½ = sqrt(3)/3

sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/3

Is a FALSE statement.

So the equation is not true for x = 60. Hence, not an identity

Simplify.
Dominik [7]

Simplify: [{y^(2/7)}/{y^(1/2)}]

Since, [{a^(p/q)}/{a^(r/s)}] = a^{(p/q)-(r/s)}

Where,

  • a = p
  • p/q = 2/7 and
  • r/s = 1/2

so,

= y^{(2/7)-(1/2)}

Take the LCM of denominator i.e.,2 & 7 is 14.

= y^{(2*2 - 1*7)/14}

= y^{(4-7)/14}

= y^(-3/14) Ans.

X/5 = 25<br> i need help
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

x = 125

Multiply both sides by 5:

x/5 X 5 = x

and

25 X 5 = 125

so you're left with:

x = 125

Hope this helps
