\displaystyle\\   
f(3) = 5 \\ 
f(7) = -4\\\\
\texttt{Solve:}\\\\
f(x)=ax+b ~~~\Longleftrightarrow~~~ y=ax+b~~~\Longleftrightarrow~~~ ax+b-y=0\\\\
-------\\
3a+b-5=0~~~(E1)\\ 
7a+b+4=0~~~(E2)\\
---\\
E2 - E1\\
4a+9=0\\
4a =-9\\\\
\boxed{a =  -\frac{9}{4} = -2,25}\\\\
3\times  \Big(-\frac{9}{4}\Big)  + b -5 = 0\\\\
-\frac{27}{4} -5+ b = 0\\\\
\frac{-27-20}{4}  + b = 0\\\\
-\frac{47}{4}  + b = 0\\\\
\boxed{b = \frac{47}{4} = 11,75}

Tan(a)+cot(b) simplify please.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

tan a + cot b

Step-by-step explanation:

It's already simplified.

There are alternate forms like

sec(a)csc(b)cos(a-b)\\\\sec(a)csc(b)[sin(a)sin(b)+cos(a)cos(b)]\\\\\frac{sin (a)}{cos (a)} +\frac{cos(b)}{sin(b)}
