What is the directrix of the following graph? X = -3 Y= 3 Y = -3 X = 3

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the parabola is (1,4) and the axis of the parabola is parallel to the positive y-axis.

So, the equation of the parabola will be (x - 1)² = 4a(y - 4) ....... (1)

Now, we have to get the value of a since the equation id the directrix is y = 4 - a.

Now, the parabola passes through the point (3,5) {Obtained from the graph).

Therefore, from equation (1), we get, 2² = 4a × 1, ⇒a = 1

Therefore, the equation of the directrix is y = 4 - 1 = 3. (Answer)

Derive these identities using the addition or subtraction formulas for sine or cosine: sinacosb=(sin(a+b)+sin(a-b))/2
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The work is in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine addition identity is:

\sin(a+b)=\sin(a)\cos(b)+\cos(a)\sin(b).

The sine difference identity is:

\sin(a-b)=\sin(a)\cos(b)-\cos(a)\sin(a).

The cosine addition identity is:

\cos(a+b)=\cos(a)\cos(b)-\sin(a)\sin(b).

The cosine difference identity is:

\cos(a-b)=\cos(a)\cos(b)+\sin(a)\sin(b).

We need to find a way to put some or all of these together to get:

\sin(a)\cos(b)=\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}.

So I do notice on the right hand side the \sin(a+b) and the \sin(a-b).

Let's start there then.

There is a plus sign in between them so let's add those together:

\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)

=[\sin(a+b)]+[\sin(a-b)]

=[\sin(a)\cos(b)+\cos(a)\sin(b)]+[\sin(a)\cos(b)-\cos(a)\sin(b)]

There are two pairs of like terms. I will gather them together so you can see it more clearly:

=[\sin(a)\cos(b)+\sin(a)\cos(b)]+[\cos(a)\sin(b)-\cos(a)\sin(b)]

=2\sin(a)\cos(b)+0

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

So this implies:

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

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}=\sin(a)\cos(b)

By the symmetric property we can write:

\sin(a)\cos(b)=\frac{\sin(a+b)+\sin(a-b)}{2}

Please help I’m really confused and need to learn this
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

For #2, another way to word this question is: For which of the following trig functions is π/2 a solution? Well, go through them one by one. If you plug π/2 into sinθ, you get 1. This means that when x is π/2, y is 1. Try and visualize that. When y is 1, that means you moved off the x-axis; so y = sinθ is NOT one of those functions that cross the x-axis at θ = π/2. Go through the rest of them. For y = cos(π/2), you get 0. At θ = π/2, this function crosses the x-axis. For y = tanθ, your result is undefined, so that doesn't work. Keep going through them. You should see that y = secθ is undefined, y = cscθ returns 1, and y = cotθ returns 0. If you have a calculator that can handle trig functions, just plug π/2 into every one of them and check off the ones that give you zero. Graphically, if the y-value is 0, the function is touching/crossing the x-axis.

Think about what y = secθ really means. It's actually y = 1/(cosθ), right? So what makes a fraction undefined? A fraction is undefined when the denominator is 0 because in mathematics, you can't divide by zero. Calculators give you an error. So the real question here is, when is cosθ = 0? Again, you can use a calculator here, but a unit circle would be more helpful. cosθ = π/2, like we just saw in the previous problem, and it's zero again 180 degrees later at 3π/2. Now read the answer choices.

All multiples of pi? Well, our answer looked like π/2, so you can skip the first two choices and move to the last two. All multiples of π/2? Imagine there's a constant next to π, say Cπ/2 where C is any number. If we put an even number there, 2 will cut that number in half. Imagine C = 4. Then Cπ/2 = 2π. Our two answers were π/2 and 3π/2, so an even multiple won't work for us; we need the odd multiples only. In our answers, π/2 and 3π/2, C = 1 and C = 3. Those are both odd numbers, and that's how you know you only need the "odd multiples of π/2" for question 3.
