Prove that sinxtanx=1/cosx - cosx

Mathematics
1 answer:
maks197457 [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove that

\sin(x)\tan(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x), \forall x \in\mathbb{R}

Taking the RHS, note

\dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \cos(x) = \dfrac{1}{\cos(x)} - \dfrac{\cos(x) \cos(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)}

Remember that

\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) =1 \implies 1- \cos^2(x) =\sin^2(x)

Therefore,

\dfrac{1-\cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} = \dfrac{\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}

Once

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

Then,

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

Hence, it is proved

In right triangle PQR , PQ=12 cm and QR=5cm .What is cos R?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

cosR = \frac{5}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming the right triangle has ∠ Q = 90° with legs 5 and 12

then this is a 5- 12- 13 right triangle with hypotenuse PR = 13 cm

then

cosR = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{QR}{PR} = \frac{5}{13}

Can someone help pls
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Slope = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope-intercept form: y=mx + b

Given: 3y - 4x = -6

Add -4x to the right hand side to isolate out 3y (y).

It should look like this: 3y = 4x -6

Now divide both sides by 3.

You should get: y = 4/3x -2

Since it's asking for slope, your slope is 4/3.
