Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

\displaystyle \frac{\tan\theta}{\sec\theta - \cos\theta}

And we want to write the expression in terms of sine and cosine and simplify.

Thus, let tanθ = sinθ / cosθ and secθ = 1 / cosθ. Substitute:

=\displaystyle \frac{\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{\dfrac{1}{\cos\theta}-\cos\theta}

Multiply both layers by cosθ:

=\displaystyle \frac{\left(\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\right)\cdot \cos\theta}{\left(\dfrac{1}{\cos\theta}-\cos\theta\right)\cdot \cos\theta}

Distribute:

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

Recall from the Pythagorean Theorem that sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. Hence, 1 - cos²θ = sin²θ. Substitute and simplify:

\displaystyle =\frac{\sin\theta}{\sin^2\theta} \\ \\ =\frac{1}{\sin\theta}

We can convert this to cosecant if we wish.

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f
Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.
