Answer:

cot Ф

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that sin²Ф + cos²Ф = 1, (which also says that cos²Ф - 1 = sin²Ф).

Also recall the definitions of the csc, sin and cos functions.

Your expression is equivalent to:

   1               sin Ф

----------  -  -------------

sin Ф              1

===================

           cos Ф

There are three terms in your expression:  csc, sin and cos.  Multiply all of them by sin Ф.  The result should be:

 1 - sin²Ф

---------------

sin Ф · cos Ф

Using the Pythagorean identity (see above), this simplifies to

  cos²Ф

------------------

sin Ф·cos Ф

and this whole fraction reduces to

   cos Ф

--------------   and this ratio is the definition of the cot function.

   sin Ф

Thus, the original expression is equivalent to cot Ф

Can someone help with this
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: Draw a line through the two points (0,2) and (3,3). See the attached image below.

How did I get these two points? The first point comes from the fact that "at the start, the height is 2 inches" meaning that x = 0 hours and y = 2 inches pair up together. This is show as point A. This is the y intercept as this is the location where the blue graph crosses the vertical y axis.

Point B is found by moving 1 unit up from point A and 3 units to the right to land on (3,3). So we have x = 3 hours and y = 3 inches pair up together.

Note: the slope is rise/run = 1/3 helping us determine the unit rate or speed in which the water is rising (ie the water is rising one-third of an inch per hour)
