Answer:

sec²(x) - sec(x) + tan²(x) = (sec(x) - 1)(2sec(x) + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

sec²(x) - sec(x) + tan²(x) =

= sec²(x) - sec(x) + [sec²(x) - 1]

= sec²(x) - sec(x) + [(sec(x) + 1)(sec(x) - 1)]

= sec(x)[sec(x) - 1] + [(sec(x) + 1)(sec(x) - 1)]

= (sec(x) - 1)(sec(x) + sec(x) + 1)

= (sec(x) - 1)(2sec(x) + 1)

Mikaela friends brought a big box of crackers to the movies. 53 crackers are whole wheat and 29 are cheese flavored. The remaini

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 123 crackers

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/3 of the box contains sesame seed crackers, then, 2/3 of the box contains whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers.

Total number of whole wheat and cheese flavored crackers = 53 + 29 = 82

Let x be the total number of crackers in the box, so we will have the equation

2/3 x= 82

x = 82 ÷ 2/3; we will get

X =82 x 3/2

X = 123 crackers

May someone help me with this problem?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

$a. \: \: \frac{ {4x}^{6} }{ {y}^{3} } \\$

$b. \: \: \frac{ {8x}^{3} }{ {y}^{ 1\frac{1}{3} } } \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

${( {4x}^{ - 2} y)}^{ - 3} \\ {4x}^{ - 2 \times - 3} \: \: {y}^{1 \times - 3} \\ {4x}^{6} {y}^{ - 3} \\ \frac{ {4x}^{6} }{ {y}^{3} } \\$

${( {8x}^{6} {y}^{ - 3}) }^{ \frac{1}{2} } \\ {8x}^{6 \times \frac{1}{2} } \: \: {y}^{ - 3 \times \frac{1}{2} } \\ {8x}^{3} {y}^{ - \frac {3}{2} } \\ \frac{ {8x}^{3} }{ {y}^{ 1\frac{1}{3} } } \\$
