Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.

To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.

Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.

-4+4 + 4a = 12+4

4a = 16

Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.

4/4a = 16/4

a = 4

Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.

-4 + 4(4) = 12

-4 + 16 = 12

12 = 12

Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)

which functions have a range of all real numbers ? check all that apply. A. y=csc x B. y=sec x C. y=tan x D. y= cot x

Natalka [10]

None of these. All of these functions are defined as ratio of trigonometric functions.

Trigonometric functions have infinite zeroes, so when you put them in the denominator, they lead to infinitely many points of ill-definition.

Specifically, we have:

$\csc(x) = \dfrac{1}{\sin(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\sin(x)=0\iff x=k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$\sec(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\cos(x)=0\iff x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}+k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$\tan(x) = \dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\cos(x)=0\iff x=\dfrac{\pi}{2}+k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$\cot(x) = \dfrac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}$

which is undefined at

$\sin(x)=0\iff x=k\pi, k\in\mathbb{Z}$

Order these units from smallest to largest:

Veronika [31]

The units are ordered smallest to largest from top to bottom:
Picometer (pm) = 1 x 10⁻¹² meters
Nanometer (nm) = 1 x 10⁻⁹ meters
Micrometer (um) = 1 x 10⁻⁶ meters
Millimeter (mm) = 1 x 10⁻³ meters
Centimeter (cm) = 1 x 10⁻² meters
Decimeter (dm) = 1 x 10⁻¹ meters
Meters (m) = 1 meter
Kilometers (Km) = 1 x 10³ meters
