Answer:

432 people on Friday and 658 on Saturday

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use variables for each day

x=Friday and y=Saturday

now write two equations since you were given two different information (money and people)

$6 on Friday and $8 on Saturday with a total amount of $7856

the equation will be 6x+8y=7856

now the second equation will be for people

x amount of people on Friday and y amount of people on saturday for a total of 1090; the equation will be

x+y=1090

put them together

6x+8y=7856

x+y=1090

now you can cancel a variable but manipulating one of the equations. We'll use x, to cancel x you need make it zero so multiply the bottom by -6

6x+8y=7856

-6(x+y=1090)

6x+8y=7856                   now subtract downwards, with the x cancelling

-6x-6y=-6540

2y=1316                          simplify

(2y/2)=(1316/2)              

y=658

                                       insert y into x+y=1090

x+(658)=1090

    -658   -658

x=432

Sec(x)-tan(x)=1/sec(x)+tan(x)
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that you mean

sec(x)-tan(x) = 1 / ( sec(x) + tan(x) ) , right ?

then this is equivalent to

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

let s evaluate it, we got

sec2(x) - sec(x)tan(x) + - sec(x)tan(x) - tan2(x) = sec2(x) - tan2(x)

= (1 - sin2(x) ) / cos2(x) = cos2(x) / cos2(x) = 1

as cos2(x) + sin2(x) = 1

Answer:

  (b)  (1, 1/6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The "unit rate" is always the y-value for x=1 when the relationship is proportional (as it is here).

That point is not specifically shown on the graph. It would be (1, 1/6).
