<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of DP is:

                      DP=14 units

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Point P is the midpoint of DE.

DP =3x + 2 and DE = 10x - 12.

We know that a midpoint divides the given line segment into two equal parts (i.e. it bisects a line segment)

Hence, we have:

DP+PE=DE

Also, DP=PE

This means that:

2DP=DE

2(3x+2)=10x-12

2×(3x)+2×2=10x-12

6x+4=10x-12

10x-6x=4+12

4x=16

x=16/4

x=4

Hence,

DP=3x+2=3×4+2

i.e.

DP=14

If P <span>is the midpoint of DE then 
DE = 2(DP)
10x - 12 = 2(3x + 2)
10x - 12 = 6x + 4
10x - 6x = 4 + 12
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4

DP = 3x + 2 = 3 * 4 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 units</span>

<h3>Answer: Choice H)  2</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Recall that the pythagorean trig identity is \sin^2 x + \cos^2x = 1

If we were to isolate sine, then,

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

We don't have to worry about the plus minus because sine is positive when 0 < x < pi/2.

Through similar calculations, \cos x = \sqrt{1-\sin^2x}\\\\

Cosine is also positive in this quadrant.

-------------

So,

\frac{\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}}{\sin x}+\frac{\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}}{\cos x}\\\\\frac{\sin x}{\sin x}+\frac{\cos x}{\cos x}\\\\1+1\\\\2

Therefore,

\frac{\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}}{\sin x}+\frac{\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}}{\cos x}=2

is an identity as long as 0 < x < pi/2

Combining like terms with negative coefficients<br><br> −n+(−4)−(−4n)+6
Serjik [45]
Remember, if you add negative four, you're really subtracting four, or if you take away negative four, you're really adding four.

-n+(-4)-(-4n)+6
-n-4+4n+6 simplify
{-n+4n are like terms, so combine them. -n+4n is exactly the same as 4n-n, so flip them around if it helps. Just remember to keep the sign with the right number. Same thing with -4+6.}

Answer:

3n+2
