Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: If we divide the numerator and the denominator of 9/12 by 3, we get the equivalent fraction 3/4 which is in lowest terms.

We divided by 3 because the greatest common factor of 9 and 12 is 3.

The factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9 and the

factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

So the greatest common factor of 9 and 12 is 3 so that's why we divided the top and bottom of 9/12 by 3.

9/12 in simplest form would be 3/4 because you divide bothe 9 and 12 dived by three because what you do to the denominator you do to the nominator so after you divide 9/12 by 3 you would have 3/4 which 3/4 is 9/12 in simplest form

Answer:

$2 \tan (6x)+2 \sec (6x)+\text{C}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fundamental Theorem of Calculus</u>

$\displaystyle \int \text{f}(x)\:\text{d}x=\text{F}(x)+\text{C} \iff \text{f}(x)=\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}(\text{F}(x))$

If differentiating takes you from one function to another, then integrating the second function will take you back to the first with a constant of integration.

Given indefinite integral:

$\displaystyle \int \dfrac{12}{1-\sin (6x)}\:\:\text{d}x$

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Terms multiplied by constants}\\\\$\displaystyle \int a\:\text{f}(x)\:\text{d}x=a \int \text{f}(x) \:\text{d}x$\end{minipage}}$

If the terms are multiplied by constants, take them outside the integral:

$\implies 12\displaystyle \int \dfrac{1}{1-\sin (6x)}\:\:\text{d}x$

Multiply by the conjugate of 1 - sin(6x) :

$\implies 12\displaystyle \int \dfrac{1}{1-\sin (6x)} \cdot \dfrac{1+\sin(6x)}{1+\sin(6x)}\:\:\text{d}x$

$\implies 12\displaystyle \int \dfrac{1+\sin(6x)}{1-\sin^2(6x)} \:\:\text{d}x$

$\textsf{Use the identity} \quad \sin^2 x+ \cos^2 x=1:$

$\implies \sin^2 (6x) + \cos^2 (6x)=1$

$\implies \cos^2 (6x)=1- \sin^2 (6x)$

$\implies 12\displaystyle \int \dfrac{1+\sin(6x)}{\cos^2(6x)} \:\:\text{d}x$

Expand:

$\implies 12\displaystyle \int \dfrac{1}{\cos^2(6x)}+\dfrac{\sin(6x)}{\cos^2(6x)} \:\:\text{d}x$

$\textsf{Use the identities }\:\: \sec \theta=\dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} \textsf{ and } \tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}:$

$\implies 12\displaystyle \int \sec^2(6x)+\dfrac{\tan(6x)}{\cos(6x)} \:\:\text{d}x$

$\implies 12\displaystyle \int \sec^2(6x)+\tan(6x)\sec(6x) \:\:\text{d}x$

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Integrating $\sec^2 kx$}\\\\$\displaystyle \int \sec^2 kx\:\text{d}x=\dfrac{1}{k} \tan kx\:\:(+\text{C})$\end{minipage}}$

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6 cm}\underline{Integrating $ \sec kx \tan kx$}\\\\$\displaystyle \int \sec kx \tan kx\:\text{d}x= \dfrac{1}{k}\sec kx\:\:(+\text{C})$\end{minipage}}$
