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.

A line with a slope of 8 passes through the points (-1,1) and (0,k). What is the value of k?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

k = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to 8

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, k)

m = \frac{k-1}{0+1} = k - 1 = 8 ( add 1 to both sides )

k = 9

The first picture is the graph (already answered) and the second is the next
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

a) 100/15 = 6.6667 = 6  2/3

b) C = T( 6 2/3)

       = T (6 + 2/3)

     C  = 1T x 6  2/3

          = 6 2/3 T

We can show T as time at end of equation or start of brackets
