Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert all the secants and cosecants to cosine and sine, respectively. Recall that csc(x)=1/sin(x) and sec(x)=1/cos(x).

Thus:

\frac{sec(x)}{cos(x)} -\frac{sin(x)}{csc(x)cos^2(x)}

=\frac{\frac{1}{cos(x)} }{cos(x)} -\frac{sin(x)}{\frac{1}{sin(x)}cos^2(x) }

Let's do the first part first: (Recall how to divide fractions)

\frac{\frac{1}{cos(x)} }{cos(x)}=\frac{1}{cos(x)} \cdot \frac{1}{cos(x)}=\frac{1}{cos^2(x)}

For the second term:

\frac{sin(x)}{\frac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)} } =\frac{sin(x)}{1} \cdot\frac{sin(x)}{cos^2(x)}=\frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}

So, all together: (same denominator; combine terms)

\frac{1}{cos^2(x)}-\frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}=\frac{1-sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}

Note the numerator; it can be derived from the Pythagorean Identity:

sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1; cos^2(x)=1-sin^2(x)

Thus, we can substitute the numerator:

\frac{1-sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}=\frac{cos^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}=1

Everything simplifies to 1.

20 points, Thanks to whoever helps! (and brainliest)

Answer:

To find a 20 percent tip quickly, first find 10%, and then multiply it by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 10%, move the decimal 1 place to the left. So 10% of 53.82 is 5.382. Let's round that to 5.4 to simplify. Multiply it by 2 to get to 20% which is 10.8 and round to the nearest dollar to make $11.

Anyone know this question?<br><br>Just B please
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

52% and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 squares of which 13 are shaded , then

\frac{13}{25} × 100% = 13 × 4% = 52°

(b)

1 square represents \frac{1}{25} × 100% = 1 × 4% = 4%

Then 80% = 80% ÷ 4% = 20

That is for 80% , 20 squares require to be shaded

That is 7 more than the 13 already shaded

Determine if the leading coefficient of the following function is positive or negative and whether the function has a minimum or
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The function has a negative leading coefficient and a maximum vertex point

Explanation:

This function's leading coefficient is determined by whether it is concave up or concave down, meaning it has an Up and Up end behavior for a positive leading coefficient and a Down and Down end behavior for a negative coefficient.

This function's end behavior is Down and Down, so it must have a negative leading coefficient.

The function has a minimum vertex when the function has a positive leading coefficient and a maximum vertex point when the function has a negative leading coefficient.

This means that the functions vertex is the highest or lowest possible value of the function (the rest of the function continues forever in whichever direction.

This particular function has a maximum vertex as there is no point above the vertex here and the function has a negative leading coefficient.
