Answer:

x= 1 1/4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem. Put the cost over the number of ounces.

$4 $1

---------- = ---------------

5 ounces x ounces

Using cross products

4x =1*5

Divide each side by 4

x =5/4

x= 1 1/4 ounces

If you do 5 divide by 4 then you can find what 1$ would be worth so ie.
5 divide by 4 is 1.25 which means that for 1$ you could buy 1.25 ounces

Find all solutions of each equation on the interval 0 ≤ x < 2π.

Answer:

$x = 0$ or $x = \pi$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

How are tangents and secants related to sines and cosines?

$\displaystyle \tan{x} = \frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}}$ .

$\displaystyle \sec{x} = \frac{1}{\cos{x}}$ .

Sticking to either cosine or sine might help simplify the calculation. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $\sin^{2}{x} = 1 - \cos^{2}{x}$ . Therefore, for the square of tangents,

$\displaystyle \tan^{2}{x} = \frac{\sin^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}}$ .

This equation will thus become:

$\displaystyle \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{x}} + \frac{2}{\cos^{2}{x}} - \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = 2$ .

To simplify the calculations, replace all $\cos^{2}{x}$ with another variable. For example, let $u = \cos^{2}{x}$ . Keep in mind that $0 \le \cos^{2}{x} \le 1 \implies 0 \le u \le 1$ .
