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.

A cylindrical pressure has a height of 9 feet and diameter of 6 feet. How much gas can the pressure vessel hold when full?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

81π ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

If the diameter is 6 ft, the radius is 3 ft.  

The volume is V = (area of base)(height).

Here,                V = (π[3 ft]²)(9 ft) = 81π ft³
