Answer:

To find the greatest common factor of a polynomial, first take all of the coefficients and list out their factors. After doing this, we can identify the greatest number that appears in each of the lists.

From there we will look for the lowest exponent for every variable. We'll use that number in our final answer. Remember, when doing this, that if the variable doesn't appear in a term, then the exponent is assumed to be 0.

Ron should receive $7.98. Jerry and Steve each worked for 4 hours, while Ron was one hour late, so he worked for 3 hours. Together, they worked for 4*2+3=11 hours, receiving $29.25 in total. Each hour should be paid 29.25/11=2.66 dollars. Ron worked for three hours, so he should receive 3*2.66=7.98 dollars.

Verify that -tan2x = (2tanx) / (sec^2x - 2)

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

- tan 2x = -2tanx / (1 - tan^2x)

Using the identity tan^2x = sec^2x - 1 and substituting for tan^2x:

- tan 2x = -2 tanx / (1 - (sec^2x - 1))

= 2 tanx / ( - 1(sec^2x + 2))

= 2 tan x / (sec^2 x - 2)
