Answer:

It was not my intention to post that answer, as it does not solve the question, but hope it helps somehow.  

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{b)} \frac{\sin(a)}{\sin(a)-\cos(a)} -   \frac{\cos(a)}{\cos(a)-\sin(a)} = \frac{1+\cot^2 (a)}{1-\cot^2 (a)} $

You want to verify this identity.

$\frac{\sin(a)(\cos(a)-\sin(a))}{(\sin(a)-\cos(a))(\cos(a)-\sin(a))} -   \frac{\cos(a)(\sin(a)-\cos(a))}{(\sin(a)-\cos(a))(\cos(a)-\sin(a))} = \frac{1+\cot^2 (a)}{1-\cot^2 (a)} $

The common denominator is

(\sin(a)-\cos(a))(\cos(a)-\sin(a))= \boxed{2\cos (a)\sin(a)-\cos ^2(a)-\sin ^2(a)}

Solving the first and second numerator:

\sin(a)(\cos(a)-\sin(a))=\sin(a)\cos(a)-\sin^2(a)

\cos(a)(\sin(a)-\cos(a))= \cos(a)\sin(a)-\cos^2(a)

Now we have

$\frac{ \sin(a)\cos(a)-\sin^2(a) -(\cos(a)\sin(a)-\cos^2(a))}{2\cos (a)\sin(a)-\cos ^2(a)-\sin ^2(a)}$

$\frac{ -\sin^2(a) +\cos^2(a)}{2\cos (a)\sin(a)-\cos ^2(a)-\sin ^2(a)}$

Once

-\sin^2(a) +\cos^2(a) = \cos(2a)

2\cos (a)\sin(a) = \sin(2a)

Also, consider the identity:

\boxed{\sin^2(a)+\cos^2(a)=1}

$\frac{ -\sin^2(a) +\cos^2(a)}{2\cos (a)\sin(a)-\cos ^2(a)-\sin ^2(a)}=\boxed{\frac{ \cos(2a)}{\sin(2a)-1}}$

That last claim is true.

Answer:

180 sq.cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 10 x 10 + 16 x 5 x 1/2 x 2

A = 100 + 16 x 5

A = 100 + 80

A = 180 square cm

Hope that helps!

Solve the system of equation
kherson [118]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

x = -10; y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equations by elimination method                          

                                              2x + 3y = 4    (1)

                                               x + 2y = 6    (2)

Multiply 2 by -2

                                              2x + 3y = 4

                                             -2x - 4y = -12

                                                    -y = -8

                                                     y = 8

Substitute y in (2)

                                             x + 2(8) = 6

                                            x = 6 - 16

                                            x = -10

Find the output (y) of the function y=6x+4 if the input (x) is 2
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

f(2) = 16

or

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out function

y = 6x + 4

Step 2: Define variable for problem

<em>x</em> = 2

Step 3: Plug into function f(x)

f(2) = 6(2) + 4

f(2) = 12 + 4

f(2) = 16

Step 4: Change f(2) to y

y = 16

What are two differences between factors and multiples
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Factor is a number that can be multiplied with a particular number to obtain another number. Conversely, multiples are the product, which is reached after multiplying the number by an integer. The number of factors of a particular number is limited, but the number of multiples of a given number is endless.
