So hmmm let's do the left-hand-side first

$\bf \cfrac{sec(x)-csc(x)}{sec(x)+csc(x)}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{cos(x)}-\frac{1}{sin(x)}}{\frac{1}{cos(x)}+\frac{1}{sin(x)}}\implies 
\cfrac{\frac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)sin(x)}}{\frac{sin(x)+cos(x)}{cos(x)sin(x)}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)sin(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}}$

now, let's do the right-hand-side then

$\bf \cfrac{tan(x)-1}{tan(x)+1}\implies \cfrac{\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}-1}{\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}+1}\implies \cfrac{\frac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)}}{\frac{sin(x)+cos(x)}{cos(x)}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{cos(x)}\cdot \cfrac{cos(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{sin(x)-cos(x)}{sin(x)+cos(x)}}$

Given the quadratic equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%202%28x%20-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%208" id="TexFormula1" tit

Answer:

Part 1) "a" value is $2$

Part 2) The vertex is the point $(1,8)$

Part 3) The equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=1$

Part 4) The vertex is a minimum

Part 5) The quadratic equation in standard form is $y=2x^{2}-4x+10$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$y=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

if a > 0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a < 0 then the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximum)

The equation of the axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

$x=h$

In this problem we have

$y=2(x-1)^{2}+8$ -----> this is the equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola

The value of $a=2$

a>0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

The vertex is the point $(1,8)$

$(h,k)=(1,8)$

The equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=1$

The equation of a vertical parabola in standard form is equal to

$y=ax^{2}+bx+c$

Convert vertex form in standard form

$y=2(x-1)^{2}+8$

$y=2(x^{2}-2x+1)+8$

$y=2x^{2}-4x+2+8$

$y=2x^{2}-4x+10$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Witch method will NOT get you to the point (1.5, 4)?

Bad White [126]

Left down, or “Starting at the origin, go 4 spaces to the right and then 1and1/2 spaces up.” This would bring you to the point (4,1and1/2)

Solve the following quadratic by factoring.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can reverse the FOIL (First, outside, inside, last) method to break down the equation. The question is asking to solve by factoring so you want to find the right combination of numbers this equation can be broken down into:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Because we want x squared, x needs to be multiplied by itself, so we can put x in the first slot for each.

(x + or - ?) ( x + or - ?) = 0

Then we need to find numbers that could be added to get -3 and multiplied to get -4. The only set of numbers that works for this is -4 and 1. Note that the sign you put in front of each number has an impact on your answers. With this we get:

(x - 4) (x + 1) = 0

To test that this is equal to the original equation, simply multiply it out using FOIL.

x * x = x^2

x * 1 = x

x * -4 = -4x

-4 * 1 = -4

Putting each component into an equation:

x^2 + x - 4x - 4 = 0

Simplifying:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Once we are sure it is still the same equation, we find the solutions. We know 0 multiplied by anything equals 0, so to get 0 as the answer, one of the sets in the parentheses must equal 0. (It doesn't matter what the other one is as long is one equals 0)

Therefore, we have 2 solutions, 4, and -1 because if x is 4, 4-4 is 0 which solves the equation, and if x is -1, then -1 + 1 is 0 which also solves the equation.

You can also check your answers by plugging them back into the original equation.
