Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that you meant to write

cot (x-π//2) = - tan x

the identity is TRUE because,

- you can graph cot (x-π//2)  and  - tan x, and see that the graphs overlap

OR

-you solve for cot (x-π/2)

useful to know is that :

cot x=1/tan x, tan x = sin x/cos x,  

cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x,

cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = 1/tan (x-π/2) , yet tangent is sin x/cos x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (x-π/2) /sin (x-π/2) , factor -1

cot (x-π/2) = cos -(π/2-x) /sin -(π/2-x),  use facts: cos(x) =cos(-x), sin(-x) = -sin x

cot (x-π/2) = cos (π/2-x) / -sin (π/2-x), use cos(π/2 -x) =sin x, sin (π/2-x) =cos x

cot (x-π/2) = sin x / -cos x , again sin x /cos x = tan x

cot (x-π/2) = -tan x

The expression 100−2.5x represents the balance of Grace’s lunch account after x days. The expression 100+2.5(5−x) represents the
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

That means that the given expressions are equal.

100 - 2.5x = 100 + 2.5(5 - x)

100 - 2.5x = 100 + 12.5 - 2.5x

There is no solution to this.

Cooper's USB drive is 1··2full with 5 video files. Each video file is the same size. What fraction of the USB drive does 1 video
lidiya [134]

Answer:

the fraction of the USB drive when one video file use is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the fraction of the USB drive when one video file use is given below:

= USB drive × number of video file ÷ number of video file

= half × 1 ÷ 5

= 0.5 × 1 ÷ 5

= 0.10

= 10%

Hence, the fraction of the USB drive when one video file use is 10%
