Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

No.

The distance between 19 and 15 is 4. Both numbers are positive, 4 units apart.

The distance between -19 and -15 is also 4. Both numbers are negative, 4 units apart.

When you find the distance from 19 to -15, keep in mind that one number is positive, 19, and one number is negative, -15. The two numbers are on different side of zero on the number line.

Start at -15. -15 is 15 units to the left of zero. To get to 0, you need to go 15 units right. Now you need to go from 0 to 19. That is another 19 units right. Add 15 + 19 to get 34.

The distance from 19 to -15 on a number line is not 4. It is 34.

Simplify the expression csc(-x)/1+tan^2x)

Charra [1.4K]

Assuming ya meant $\frac{csc(-x)}{1+tan^2(x)}$

to slimplify, we use a variation of the pythagorean identity and a decomposition into the sin and cos

for the pythaogreaon identity
$cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)=1$
divide both sides by $cos^2(x)$
$1+tan^2(x)=sec^2(x)$ since $\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}=tan(x)$
subsitute
$\frac{csc(x)}{sec^2(x)}$

recall that $csc(x)=\frac{1}{cos(x)}$
also that cos(x) is an even function and thus cos(-x)=cos(x)
therfore $csc(-x)=\frac{1}{cos(-x)}=\frac{1}{cos(x)}=csc(x)$
so we get

$\frac{csc(x)}{sec^2(x)}$
decompose them into $\frac{1}{cos(x)}$ and $\frac{1}{sin^2(x)}$ to get $\frac{\frac{1}{cos(x)}}{\frac{1}{sin^2(x)}}$
multiply by $\frac{sin^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}$ to get
$\frac{sin^2(x)}{cos(x)}$
we can furthur simlify to get
$(\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)})(sin(x))=tan(x)sin(x)$
the expression simplifies to tan(x)sin(x)
