Answer:

Options C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. \frac{(1-cox)}{sinx}=\frac{1-(2cos^{2}\frac{x}{2}-1)}{2sin\frac{x}{2}cos\frac{x}{2}}

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

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

= \frac{2sin^{2}\frac{x}{2}}{2sin\frac{x}{2}cos\frac{x}{2}}

= \frac{sin\frac{x}{2} }{cos\frac{x}{2}}

= tan\frac{x}{2}

Therefore, it's an identity for tan\frac{x}{2}

B. \frac{sinx}{1+cosx}=\frac{2sin\frac{x}{2}cos\frac{x}{2}}{1+2cos^{2}\frac{x}{2}-1}

=\frac{sin\frac{x}{2}}{cos\frac{x}{2}}

=tan\frac{x}{2}

Therefore, it's an identity tan\frac{x}{2}

C. \frac{cosx}{1-sinx}=\frac{cos^{2}\frac{x}{2}-sin^{2}\frac{x}{2}}{2sin\frac{x}{2}cos\frac{x}{2}}

=\frac{cos\frac{x}{2}}{2sin\frac{x}{2}}-\frac{sin\frac{x}{2}}{2cos\frac{x}{2}}

=\frac{1}{2}[cot\frac{x}{2}-tan\frac{x}{2}]

Therefore, it's not an identity for tan\frac{x}{2}

D. \pm \sqrt{\frac{1-cosx}{1+cosx}}=\pm {\sqrt{\frac{1-(1-2sin^{2}\frac{x}{2})}{1+(2cos^{2}\frac{x}{2}-1)}}}

=\pm \sqrt{\frac{sin^{2}\frac{x}{2}}{cos^{2}\frac{x}{2}}}

=\pm \sqrt{tan^{2}\frac{x}{2}}

=\pm tan\frac{x}{2}

Therefore, it's not an identity for tan\frac{x}{2}

Options C and D are not the identities.

Answer:

C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Check each one using x = 60 degrees:

A. tan(x/2)  = tan 30 = 0.5774

1 - cos 60 / sin 60 = 0.5774   So A is an identity

B.   sin 60 / (1 + cos 60) =  0.5774 :- B is an identity.

C.  cos 60 / ( 1 - sin 60) =  3.732  so This is NOT an identity.

D +/-sqrt( (1 - cos60)/(1 + cos 60)) =  +/- 0.5774.   Because oif the  +/- I don't think this is an identity. Sorry I can't be sure.

What is the answer to 3x+x/4=x+3/4
erica [24]

Answer:x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x/4 = x + 3/4

Subtract x from each side

2x + x/4 = 3/4

Times each side by 4

The 4 beneath the x cancels out

3/4 x 4 = 3

2x + x = 3

3x = 3

Divide each side by 3

x = 1

Can someone help with this math word problem.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to eat the pizza in seconds =28×60=1680 seconds

If it takes 20seconds to lift, bite and chew,

Then the total bites taken to finish the pizza =1680/20 =84 bites

If for each bite 9cm² disappeared, then area that disappeared for 84bites =84×9cm² = 756cm²

Total area of pizza =756cm²

If area =(πd²)/4,

Then d² =(4×A)/π

d²=4×756/3.14=963.06

d=√963.06 = 31.03cm

1 centimeter=0.394inches

31.03cm= 0.394×31.03=12.23 inches ≈ 12inches(to the nearest inch)

The diameter of the pizza is 12inches

What is the end behavior of the function f(x) = 3x4−x3 + 2x2 + 4x + 5? (1 point)
ELEN [110]

Answer: both the left and right sides go to +∞

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

End behavior can be determined by two things:

  • Sign of the leading coefficient
  • Degree of the function

<u>Sign of leading coefficient</u>:

positive: right side goes to +∞

negative: right side goes to -∞

⇒ Leading coefficient of this function is 3 so the right side goes to +∞

<u>Degree (exponent of leading coefficient)</u>:

even: both the left and right sides point in the SAME direction

odd: the left and right sides point in OPPOSITE directions

⇒ Degree of this function is 4 so the left side will point in the same direction as the right side.
