To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12

Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.

Question 16 (Essay Worth 7 points)<br><br> Verify the identity.<br><br> tan (x + π/2) = -cot x
Rus_ich [418]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that tan=sin/cos, so tan(x+π/2)=

\frac{sin(x+pi/2)}{cos(x+pi/2)}

Then, we know that sin(u+v)=sin(u)cos(v)+cos(u)sin(v),

so our equation is then

\frac{sin(x)cos(\pi/2)+cos(x)sin(\pi/2)}{cos(x+\pi/2)}  = \frac{cos(x)}{cos(x+\pi/2) }

Then, cos(u+v)=cos(u)cos(v)-sin(u)sin(v), so our expression is then

\frac{cos(x)}{cos(x)cos(\pi/2)-sin(x)sin(\pi/2)} = \frac{cos(x)}{-sin(x)} = -cot(x)
