Prove the identity. secx- cos x = sin x tan x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

LHS = RHS

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Since

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

Therefore,

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

Therefore LHS = RHS

1-What is the sum of the series? ​∑j=152j​ Enter your answer in the box.
tangare [24]

Answer:

Please see the Step-by-step explanation for the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

∑\left \ {{5} \atop {j=1}} \right. 2j

The sum of series from j=1 to j=5 is:

∑ = 2(1) + 2(2) + 2(3) + 2(4) + 2(5)

  =  2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10

∑ = 30

2)

This question is not given clearly so i assume the following series that will give you an idea how to solve this:

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. 2k²

The sum of series from k=1 to j=4 is:

∑ = 2(1)² + 2(2)² + 2(3)² + 2(4)²

  = 2(1) + 2(4) + 2(9) + 2(16)

  =  2 + 8 + 18 + 32

∑ = 60

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. (2k)²

∑ = (2*1)² + (2*2)² + (2*3)² + (2*4)²

  = (2)² + (4)² + (6)² + (8)²

  = 4 + 16 + 36 + 64

∑ = 120

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. (2k)²- 4

∑ = (2*1)²-4 + (2*2)²-4 + (2*3)²-4 + (2*4)²-4

  = (2)²-4 + (4)²-4 + (6)²-4 + (8)²-4

  = (4-4) + (16-4) + (36-4) + (64-4)

  = 0 + 12 + 32 + 60

∑ = 104

∑\left \ {{4} \atop {k=1}} \right. 2k²- 4

∑ = 2(1)²-4 + 2(2)²-4 + 2(3)²-4 + 2(4)²-4

  = 2(1)-4 + 2(4)-4 + 2(9)-4 + 2(16)-4

  = (2-4) + (8-4) + (18-4) + (32-4)

  = -2 + 4 + 14 + 28

∑ = 44

3)

∑\left \ {{6} \atop {k=3}} \right. (2k-10)

∑ = (2×3−10) + (2×4−10) + (2×5−10) + (2×6−10)  

  = (6-10) + (8-10) + (10-10) + (12-10)

  = -4 + -2 + 0 + 2  

∑ = -4

4)

1+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64

This is a geometric sequence where first term is 1 and the common ratio is 1/2 So

a = 1

This can be derived as

1/2/1 = 1/2 * 1 = 1/2

1/4/1/2 = 1/4 * 2/1 = 1/2

1/8/1/4 = 1/8 * 4/1  = 1/2

1/16/1/8 = 1/16 * 8/1  = 1/2

1/32/1/16 = 1/32 * 16/1  = 1/2

1/64/1/32 = 1/64 * 32/1  = 1/2

Hence the common ratio is r = 1/2

So n-th term is:

ar^{n-1} = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

So the answer that represents the series in sigma notation is:

∑\left \ {{7} \atop {j=1}} \right. (\frac{1}{2})^{j-1}

5)

−3+(−1)+1+3+5

This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is -3 and the common difference is 2. So  

a = 1

This can be derived as

-1 - (-3) = -1 + 3 = 2

1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2

3 - 1 = 2

5 - 3 = 2

Hence the common difference d = 2

The nth term is:

a + (n - 1) d

= -3 + (n−1)2

= -3 + 2(n−1)

= -3 + 2n - 2

= 2n - 5

So the answer that represents the series in sigma notation is:

∑\left \ {{5} \atop {j=1}} \right. (2j−5)

Calculate the average (arithmetic mean) for the data set (rounded to the nearest tenth
Ugo [173]

The right answer is 19.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data set is;

(18, 23, 17, 25, 15, 18, 18, 16, 27, 25, 18, 19)

Sum of terms = 18+23+17+25+15+18+18+16+27+25+18+19 = 239

Number of terms in data set = 12

Average = \frac{Sum\ of\ terms}{Number\ of\ terms}

Average = \frac{239}{12}

Average = 19.91

The average of data set is 19.91

The right answer is 19.9
