The range of the function y=secx-2 is all reals except -1 1 -3 -2

Answer:

For a function y = f(x), the range is the set of all the possible values of y.

In the question you wrote:

y = secx - 2

This can be interpreted as:

y = sec(x - 2)

or

y = sec(x) - 2

So let's see each case (these are kinda the same)

If the function is:

y = sec(x - 2)

Firs remember that:

sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

then we can rewrite:

y = 1/cos(x - 2)

notice that the function cos(x) has the range -1 ≤ y ≤ 1

Then for the two extremes we have:

y = 1/1 = 1

y = 1/-1 = -1

Notice that for:

y = 1/cos(x - 2)

y can never be in the range  -1 < x < 1

As the denominator cant be larger, in absolute value, than 1.

Then we can conclude that the range is all reals except the interval:

-1 < y < 1

If instead the function was:

y = sec(x) - 2

y = 1/cos(x) - 2

Then with the same reasoning, the range will be the set of all real values except:

-1 - 2 < y < 1 - 2

-3 < y < -1

To eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied by before ad
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

use -9 to multiply the first equation

use -4 to multiply the second equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-4y=28.....eqn (1)×-9

3x-9y=30....eqn(2)×-4

-45x+36y=-252

-(-12x+36y=-120)

therefore, -33x÷33 =-132÷-33

x=4.

substitute (x=4) in any of the equation. I'm just going to use eqn 1.

5x-4y=28

5(4)-4y=28

20-4y=28

-4y =28-20

-4y÷-4 = 8÷-4

y=-2

so, x=4, y=-2

Note: for proof of answers substitute the answers for x and y and see if you have the same result...e.g

5(4)-4(-2)=28.

5) The relation between intensity and current appears linear for intensity of 300 or more (current = intensity/10). For intensity of 150, current is less than that linear relation would predict. This seems to support the notion that current will go to zero for zero intensity. Current might even be negative for zero intensity since the line through the points (300, 30) and (150, 10) will have a negative intercept (-10) when current is zero.

Usually, we expect no output from a power-translating device when there is no input, so we expect current = 0 when intensity = 0.


6) We have no reason to believe the linear relation will not continue to hold for values of intensity near those already shown. We expect the current to be 100 for in intensity of 1000.


8) Apparently, times were only measured for 1, 3, 6, 8, and 12 laps. The author of the graph did not want to extrapolate beyond the data collected--a reasonable choice.
