Lim x→π/2 1-sinx/cot^2xany genious help please ​

Mathematics

Simora [160]3 years ago

Rewrite the limand as

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / (cos²(<em>x</em>) / sin²(<em>x</em>))

… = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / cos²(<em>x</em>)

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(<em>x</em>) + cos²(<em>x</em>) = 1

Then

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / (1 - sin²(<em>x</em>))

Factorize the denominator; it's a difference of squares, so

1 - sin²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Cancel the common factor of 1 - sin(<em>x</em>) in the numerator and denominator:

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = sin²(<em>x</em>) / (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Now the limand is continuous at <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/2, so

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{1-\sin(x)}{\cot^2(x)}=\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{\sin^2(x)}{1+\sin(x)}=\frac{\sin^2\left(\frac\pi2\right)}{1+\sin\left(\frac\pi2\right)}=\boxed{\frac12}

What would (4,3) be after it is reflected to the y=x
Paul [167]

Answer:

(3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of steps applied from the reflection line to the point would be also applied inversely to the image point (after reflection).

From y=x to (4,3), it goes 1 down and also goes 1 right. (NOTE: It does not go down and right. Instead, it goes <em>either</em> down and right)

So now inverse that to make 1 up and also going 1 left.

A ball dropped from the top of a building can be modeled by the function
timama [110]

A ball dropped from the top of the building can be modeled by the function f(t)=-16t^2 + 36 , where t represents time in seconds after the ball was dropped. A bee's flight can be modeled by the function, g(t)=3t+4, where t represents time in seconds after the bee starts the flight.

An airline charges an extra fee if a suitcase weighs more than 50 pounds. After packing, Li's suitcase weighs 47.75 pounds. Whic
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

47.75 + x Less-than-or-equal-to 50

= 47.75 + x ≤ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the above Question:

Not going over the 50 pound case mean, less than or equal to 50 pounds

Let the extra pound of weight be represented as x

Hence, the inequality equation that can be used to determine how much more weight can be added to the suitcase without going over the 50-pound weight limit =

47.75 + x ≤ 50
