8 0

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left( \dfrac{1}{9}\right)^{a+1}= 81^{a+1}\cdot 27^{2-a}\\\\\\(3^{-2})^{a+1}=(3^4)^{a+1}\cdot (3^3)^{2-a} \\\\\\3^{-2a-2}=3^{4a+4}\cdot 3^{6-3a} \\\\\\3^{-2a-2}=3^{a+10} \\\\\\-2a-2=a+10 \\\\\\-3a=12 \\\\\\a=-4$

Hope this helps!

stira [4]

Answer:

The number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

certain positive number: x

x is multipled by 4:

result of this is subtracted from the original number:

so original number minus 4x,

x - 4x

the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21

x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21

do algebra:

-3x = -21

multiply both sides by -1

3x = 21

divide both sides by 3

x=7

(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7

Which of the following is equivalent to sec2θ−1sec2θ for all values of θ for which sec2θ−1sec2θ is defined?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$2 sin^2 \theta$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the following information is given:

$= \frac{sec^2 \theta - 1 }{sec^2 \theta}$

$= (\frac{1}{\frac{cos^2\theta}{\frac{1}{cos^2\theta} }} - 1)$

$= 1 - cos^2\theta\\\\= 1 - (1 - 2 sin^2 \theta)\\\\= 2 sin^2 \theta$

Therefore for the given equation, the answer is $2 sin^2 \theta$
