Derivative for tan(x)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • sec² (x)

Explanation:

Use the trigonometric ratio definition of the tangent function and the quotient rule.

  • tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x)

Quotient rule: the derivative of a quotient is:

  • [the denominator × the derivative of the numerator less the numerator × the derivative of the denominator] / [denominator]²

  • (f/g)' = [ g×f' - f×g'] / g²

So,

  • tan(x)' = [ sin(x) / cos(x)]'
  • [ sin(x) / cos(x)]' = [ cos(x) sin(x)' - sin(x) cos(x)' ] / [cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos(x)cos(x) + sin(x) sin(x) ] / [ cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos²(x) + sin²(x) ] / cos²(x)

                                   = 1 / cos² (x)

                                   = sec² (x)

The result is that the derivative of tan(x) is sec² (x)

Which two statements describe what happens to the nuclei of atoms during a fusion reaction? O A. Large nuclei break apart into t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy

Explanation:

A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.

According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:

- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.

What occurs when Cr^3+ ions are reduced to Cr^2+ ions?
DiKsa [7]
D:

When electrons are gained, the charge of the atom decreases.

When you are given an atom with a charge, the oxidation of that atom is the charge. So by going from a Cr^3+ (Oxidation Number = 3) to a Cr^2+ (Oxidation Number = 2), the Oxidation Number thus decreases.
