How do I simplify (tanx/1+secx) + (1+secx/tanx)

Tan x /(1 +sec x) + (1+sec x) /tan x

Tan x=sin x / cos x
1+ sec x=1 +1/cos x=(cos x+1)/cos x

Therefore:
tan x /(1 +sec x) =(sin x/cos x)/(cos x+1)/cos x=
=(sin x * cos x) / [cos x* (cos x+1)]=sin x /(Cos x+1)

(1+sec x) /tan x=[(cos x+1)/cos x] / (sin x/cos x)=
=[cos x(cos x+1)]/(sin x *cos x)=(cos x+1)/sin x

tan x /(1 +sec x) + (1+sec x) /tan x=
=sin x /(Cos x+1) + (cos x+1)/sin x=
=(sin²x+cos²x+2 cos x+1) / [sin x(cos x+1)]=

Remember: sin²x+cos²x=1⇒ sin²x=1-cos²x

=(1-cos²x+cos²x+2 cos x+1) / [sin x(cos x+1)]=
=2 cos x+2 / [sin x(cos x+1)]=
=2(cos x+1) / [sin x(cos x+1)]=
=2 /sin x

Answer : tan x /(1 +sec x) + (1+sec x) /tan x= 2/sin x

Part A: If (7^2)^x = 1, what is the value of x? Explain your answer.

kotykmax [81]

For part a x=0 because anything to the power of 0 is 1
For part b any number could be x, because 7^0 is one and 1 to the power of anything will be 1
Hope this helps!

Statistics show that about 42% of Americans voted in the previous national election. If three Americans are randomly selected, w

MrRa [10]

Answer:

19.51% probability that none of them voted in the last election

Step-by-step explanation:

For each American, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they voted in the previous national election, or they did not. The probability of an American voting in the previous election is independent of other Americans. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

42% of Americans voted in the previous national election.

This means that $p = 0.42$

Three Americans are randomly selected

This means that $n = 3$

What is the probability that none of them voted in the last election

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.42)^{0}.(0.58)^{3} = 0.1951$

19.51% probability that none of them voted in the last election

The line of reflection is what the graph flips over. You can find the line with two points, and a point on the reflection line is the midpoint of a point and the corresponding point in the after-image.
The first one reflects over the y-axis, or x=0. One point is (-2, 1) and its corresponding point is (2, -1). The midpoint is found by the average of the two coordinates, which is (0,0). Pick another pair of points and find the midpoint which you should get (x,0).
You have two points (0,0) and (x,0) and they form a line, which is the y-axis, or x=0.
The line of reflection for the 1st one is x=0 (y-axis).

What would be the remainder ?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (x + h) is a factor of f(x) then f(- h) = 0

Given

p(x) = x³ - 4x² + ax + 20 , with (x + 1) as a factor then

p(- 1) = (- 1)³ - 4(- 1)² - a + 20 = 0 , that is

- 1 - 4 - a + 20 = 0

15 - a = 0 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

- a = - 15 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 15 , thus

p(x) = x³ - 4x² + 15x + 20

If p(x) is divided by (x + h) then p(- h) is the remainder, so

p(- 2) = (- 2)³ - 4(- 2)² + 15(- 2) + 20 , that is

- 8 - 16 - 30 + 20 = - 34 → A
