Answer:

d. 1/tanA

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer, you have to replace x=90-A in the trigonometric identity to express the tangent in function of sine and cosine.

tan(90-A)=\frac{sin(90-A)}{cos(90-A)}

Now you have to apply the following trigonometric identities:

Sin(α-β)=Sin(α)Cos(β)-Cos(α)Sin(β)

Cos(α-β)=Cos(α)Cos(β)+Sin(α)Sin(β)

In this case, α=90 and β=A

Therefore:

\frac{Sin(90)Cos(A)-Cos(90)Sin(A)}{Cos(90)Cos(A)+Sin(90)Sin(A)}

But Sin(90)=1 and Cos(90)=0

\frac{Cos(A)}{Sin(A)} = \frac{1}{tan(A)}

Answer:

Option D. \frac{1}{tanA}

Step-by-step explanation:

tan ( 90-A ) = \frac{sin(90-A)}{cos(90-A)}

since  sin (90-A) = cos A

and cos (90-A) = sin A

So  \frac{sin(90-A)}{cos(90-A)}=\frac{CosA}{SinA}=cot A=\frac{1}{tanA}

Option D. \frac{1}{tanA} is the correct answer.

-2w + 20= -17 -17 +4w
mixas84 [53]

-2w + 20 = -17 - 17 + 4w

Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.

-2w + 20 = -34 + 4w

Add 2w to both sides.

20 = -34 + 6w

Add 34 to both sides.

54 = 6w

Divide both sides by 6.

w = 9 is your answer.
