<u>Examining the question:</u>

We are given the expression:

\frac{1}{Sec(\alpha)-Tan(\alpha)}

We know from Basic trigonometry that:

Sec(\alpha) = \frac{1}{Cos(\alpha)}

Tan(\alpha) = \frac{Sin(\alpha)}{Cos(\alpha)}

<u>Simplifying the expression:</u>

Replacing these values in the given expression, we get:

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{Cos(\alpha)} -\frac{Sin(\alpha)}{Cos(\alpha)} }

Since the denominator of both the values in the denominator is the same:

\frac{1}{\frac{1-Sin(\alpha)}{Cos(\alpha)} }

We know that \frac{1}{\frac{a}{b} } = \frac{b}{a}, using the same property:

\frac{Cos(\alpha)}{1-Sin(\alpha)}

and we are done!

Answer:

cos a

---------------------

1  -sin (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sec a = 1/ cos (a)  and tan a = sin (a) / cos (a)

1

---------------------

1/ cos (a)  -sin (a) / cos (a)

Multiply the top and bottom by cos (a)

1* cos a

---------------------

( 1/ cos (a)  -sin (a) / cos (a)) * cos a

cos a

---------------------

1  -sin (a)

A circle has a center at A (4,5), Determine the radius of the circle given two end points of the circle are B (9,5) and C (-1,5)
Anna71 [15]

ANSWER :

The center-radius form of the circle equation is in the format (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2, with the center being at the point (h, k) and the radius being "r". This form of the equation is helpful, since you can easily find the center and the radius.

Select the correct answer. Sean and Colleen are raking leaves in their yard. Working together, they can clear the yard of leaves
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:

\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{c+20}  =\frac{1}{24} \\\\Finding\ the\ L.C.M\ of\ the\ fraction\ to\ get\ 24c(c+20)\ as\ the\ L.C.M.\\Multiply\ the\ whole\ equation\ by\ 24c(c+20):\\\\\frac{1}{c}(24c(c+20))+\frac{1}{c+20}(24c(c+20))  =\frac{1}{24}(24c(c+20)) \\\\24c+480+24c=c^2+20c\\\\48c+480=c^2+20c\\\\c^2+20c-48c-480=0\\\\c^2-28c-480=0

Solving the quadratic equation to get c gives:

c = -12 and c = 40

Since the time cannot be negative, hence c = 40 minutes.

It would take colleen 40 minutes to clear the yard of leaves alone
