Answer:

the simplified version of -5(a-9) would be -5a+45.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have to use is the distributive property. You first take -5 and multiply it by each of the numbers inside. So, you do -5*a which is -5a and then you do -5*(-9) which is +45. You finally put everything together and you get -5a+45.

What is the common difference of the sequence below?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the COMMON DIFFERENCE, subtract the 2nd term and the first term.

a1 = -4

a2 = -2

Let "d" representing the COMMON DIFFERENCE.

d = -2 -(-4)

d = -2 + 4

d = 2

ANSWER:

THE COMMON DIFFERENCE OF THIS SEQUENCE IS 2

Which set of equations is enough information to prove that lines a and b are parallel lines cut by transversal f? m∠4 = 110° and

atroni [7]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If a and b are parallel lines

then

m∠1=m∠4 --------> by alternate exterior angles

m∠3+m∠4= $180\°$ --------> by supplementary angles

m∠3+m∠1= $180\°$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

m∠1 = 110° and m∠3 = 70°

(1/1+sintheta)=sec^2theta-secthetatantheta pls help me verify this

Xelga [282]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify the equation:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

To start, we can multiply the fraction by (1 - sin(θ)). This yields:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}\left(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}\right) = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

Simplify. The denominator uses the difference of two squares pattern:

$\displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\underbrace{1-\sin^2\theta}_{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

Recall that sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1. Hence, cos²(θ) = 1 - sin²(θ). Substitute:

$\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

Split into two separate fractions:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{\cos^2\theta} -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta$

Rewrite the two fractions:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}\right)^2-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\cdot \frac{1}{\cos\theta}=\sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta$

By definition, 1 / cos(θ) = sec(θ) and sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ). Hence:

$\displaystyle \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta$

Hence verified.
