Answer:

<em>Her rate of change is 75 ft/h</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rate of Change</u>

It measures how one quantity varies with respect to another. The second variable usually is the time.

The climber is hiking. We are given two points of her progress: At 2 hours, she is at 400 ft. This corresponds to the point (2,400).

At 6 hours, she is at 700 ft. This is the point (6,700)

The rate of change is the slope between these two points or the quotient of the variations of each variable:

\displaystyle m=\frac{700\ ft-400\ ft}{6\ h-2\ h}

\displaystyle m=\frac{300\ ft}{4\ h}

m=75\ ft/h

Her rate of change is 75 ft/h

(1/1+sintheta)=sec^2theta-secthetatantheta pls help me verify this
Xelga [282]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify the equation:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

To start, we can multiply the fraction by (1 - sin(θ)). This yields:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}\left(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}\right) = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

Simplify. The denominator uses the difference of two squares pattern:

\displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\underbrace{1-\sin^2\theta}_{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

Recall that sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1. Hence, cos²(θ) = 1 - sin²(θ). Substitute:

\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

Split into two separate fractions:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{\cos^2\theta} -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta

Rewrite the two fractions:

\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}\right)^2-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\cdot \frac{1}{\cos\theta}=\sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

By definition, 1 / cos(θ) = sec(θ) and sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ). Hence:

\displaystyle \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta \stackrel{\checkmark}{=}  \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta

Hence verified.

Which will equation show correctly we write an expression that represents the cost for a pair of shoes that is marked down 20% o
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an expression to represent the total cost of a pair of shoes. The price of the shoes is the variable r. The shoes are marked down 20% or 0.2r. So the new price of the shoes will be r - 0.2r. You will also have to pay a tax of 5% or 0.05 of the new price. This is written as 1.05(r - 0.2r). You can simplify it by doing whats in the parenthesis.

1.05(r - 0.2r) = 1.05r(0.8r) = 0.84r
