The easy way to find the y-intercept is to write the equation is slope intercept form as:

y = mx + c

The c will be the y-intercept.

The given equation is:

7x - 2y = 1

Re-arranging we get:

2y = 7x - 1

Divide both sides by 2, we get;

y = 7/2 x - 1/2

Compare this to the top most equation, you get the y-intercept to be -1/2

At y-intercept, the x coordinate is 0. So the ordered pair will be (0, -1/2)

Answer:
(0,-1/2)

Explanation:
The genera form of the linear equation is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

The given equation is:
7x - 2y = 1
First, we will put the given equation in the general form as follows:
7x - 2y = 1
2y = 7x - 1
y = (7/2) x - (1/2)

Now, comparing the given equation with the general form, we would find that:
the slope (m) = 7/2
the y-intercept (c) = -1/2

The y-intercept is defined as the value of y at x = 0.
This means that the y-intercept as an order pair would be: (0,-1/2)

Hope this helps :)

What is the length of BC in the right triangle below

Anna [14]

Answer:

<h2>15 units</h2>

The length of BC is 15 units.

Solution,

Hypotenuse(h)=?

perpendicular(p)=12

base(b)=9

Using Pythagoras theorem,

${h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ or \: {h}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {9}^{2} \\ or \: {h}^{2} = 12 \times 12 + 9 \times 9 \\ or \: {h}^{2} = 144 + 81 \\ or \: {h}^{2} = 225 \\ or \: h = \sqrt{225} \\ or \: h = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} } \\ h = 15$

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment....

Complete the identity. 1) sec^4 x + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 tan^4 x = ?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Question like this are better answered if there are list of options; However, I'll simplify as far as the expression can be simplified

Given

$sec^4 x + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 tan^4 x$

Required

Simplify

$(sec^2 x)^2 + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 (tan^2 x)^2$

Represent $sec^2x$ with a

Represent $tan^2x$ with b

The expression becomes

$a^2 + ab- 2 b^2$

Factorize

$a^2 + 2ab -ab- 2 b^2$

$a(a + 2b) -b(a+ 2 b)$

$(a -b) (a+ 2 b)$

Recall that

$a = sec^2x$

$b = tan^2x$

The expression $(a -b) (a+ 2 b)$ becomes

$(sec^2x -tan^2x) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

..............................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$sec^2x =1 +tan^2x$

Subtract $tan^2x$ from both sides

$sec^2x - tan^2x =1 +tan^2x - tan^2x$

$sec^2x - tan^2x =1$

..............................................................................................................................

Substitute 1 for $sec^2x - tan^2x$ in $(sec^2x -tan^2x) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

$(1) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

Open Bracket

$sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x$ ------------------This is an equivalence

$(secx)^2+ 2 (tanx)^2$

Solving further;

................................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$secx = \frac{1}{cosx}$

$tanx = \frac{sinx}{cosx}$

Substitute the expressions for secx and tanx

................................................................................................................................

$(secx)^2+ 2 (tanx)^2$ becomes

$(\frac{1}{cosx})^2+ 2 (\frac{sinx}{cosx})^2$

Open bracket

$\frac{1}{cos^2x}+ 2 (\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x})$

$\frac{1}{cos^2x}+ \frac{2sin^2x}{cos^2x}$

Add Fraction

$\frac{1 + 2sin^2x}{cos^2x}$ ------------------------ This is another equivalence

................................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$sin^2x + cos^2x= 1$

Make $sin^2x$ the subject of formula

$sin^2x= 1 - cos^2x$

................................................................................................................................

Substitute the expressions for $1 - cos^2x$ for $sin^2x$

$\frac{1 + 2(1 - cos^2x)}{cos^2x}$

Open bracket

$\frac{1 + 2 - 2cos^2x}{cos^2x}$

$\frac{3 - 2cos^2x}{cos^2x}$ ---------------------- This is another equivalence
