Answer:

tan²x + 1 = sec²x is identity

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find this identity

∵ sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ identity

- Divide both sides by cos²x

∵ sin x ÷ cos x = tan x

∴ sin²x ÷ cos²x = tan²x

- Lets find the second term

∵ cos²x ÷ cos²x = 1

- Remember that the inverse of cos x is sec x

∵ sec x = 1/cos x

∴ sec²x = 1/cos²x

- Lets write the equation

∴ tan²x + 1 = 1/cos²x

∵ 1/cos²x = sec²x

∴ than²x + 1 = sec²x

- So we use the first identity sin²x + cos²x = 1 to prove that

tan²x + 1 = sec²x

∴ tan²x + 1 = sec²x is identity

The sum of two numbers is 21. The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller number. Find the two numbers.

Vesnalui [34]

Hey there! :D

21= 2x-6+x

21=3x-6

27=3x

x=9

The smaller number is 9.

The larger number is:

9*2= 18 18-6= 12

The larger number is 12.

I hope this helps!

Let f (x) = 3x − 1 and ε > 0. Find a δ > 0 such that 0 < ∣x − 5∣ < δ implies ∣f (x) − 14∣ < ε. (Find the largest

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and $\varepsilon>0$ , we want to find a $\delta$ such that $|f(x)-14|$

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that $|x-5|$ . Then

$|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta$ .

Then, if $|x-5|$ , then $|f(x)-14|$ . So, in this case, if $3\delta \leq \varepsilon$ we get that $|f(x)-14|$ . The maximum value of delta is $\frac{\varepsilon}{3}$ .

By definition, this procedure proves that $\lim_{x\to 5}f(x) = 14$ . Note that f(5)=14, so this proves that f is continous at x=5.

represents a line that passes through (3, –2) with a slope of negative StartFraction 4 Over 5 EndFraction?

erik [133]

Answer:

$y = \frac{4}{5} x - \frac{22}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = mx + b$

$- 2 = \frac{4}{5} (3) + b \\ - 2 = \frac{12}{5} + b \\ - 2 - \frac{12}{5} = b \\ - \frac{10}{5} - \frac{12}{5} = b \\ - \frac{22}{5} = b$

Therefore, the equation of the line that goes through point (3, -2)and has slope ⅘ is

$y = \frac{4}{5} x - \frac{22}{5}$

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

(a) 9 buildings

(b) 2^n -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of distinct non-empty subsets of b objects is 2^b -1. Since the subsets are distinct, each could represent a list of the buildings, from the set of b buildings, in which a student is taking courses.

(a) For 8 buildings, 2^8 -1 = 255 students could enroll. for 9 buildings, 2^9-1 = 511 students could enroll.

For 500 students, 9 buildings are required.

(b) The maximum number of students for n buildings is ...

2^n -1
