Answer:

a volleyball is $16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6b+2v= 114

v=b-3

6b+2(b-3)= 114

6b + 2b - 6

8b - 6 = 114

8b = 108

b= 13.5

substitute b in

6(13.5) + 2v = 114

81 + 2v = 114

2v = 33

v= 16.5

Considering only the values of β for which sinβtanβsecβcotβ is defined, which of the following expressions is equivalent to sinβ

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$\tan(\beta)$

Step-by-step explanation:

For many of these identities, it is helpful to convert everything to sine and cosine, see what cancels, and then work to build out to something. If you have options that you're building toward, aim toward one of them.

${\tan(\theta)}={\dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$ and ${\sec(\theta)}={\dfrac{1}{\cos(\theta)}$

Recall the following reciprocal identity:

$\cot(\theta)=\dfrac{1}{\tan(\theta)}=\dfrac{1}{ \left ( \dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \right )} =\dfrac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}$

So, the original expression can be written in terms of only sines and cosines:

$\sin(\beta)\tan(\beta)\sec(\beta)\cot(\beta)$

$\sin(\beta) * \dfrac{\sin(\beta) }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{\cos(\beta) } {\sin(\beta) }$

$\sin(\beta) * \dfrac{\sin(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}}{\cos(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}} * \dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{\cos(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}} {\sin(\beta) \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{---}}$

$\sin(\beta) *\dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) }$

$\dfrac{\sin(\beta)}{\cos(\beta) }$

Working toward one of the answers provided, this is the tangent function.

The one caveat is that the original expression also was undefined for values of beta that caused the sine function to be zero, whereas this simplified function is only undefined for values of beta where the cosine is equal to zero. However, the questions states that we are only considering values for which the original expression is defined, so, excluding those values of beta, the original expression is equivalent to $\tan(\beta)$ .

The equation y-12 describes the amount of money Anothny earns, where x is the number of hours he works and y is the amount if mo

Burka [1]

Answer=15X

$45/3 hours = $15/hour

(b) To see how much Louis makes per hour, simply plug in 1 for the hours value x:

y = 12(1 hours)

y = $12/hour

Thus Carl makes more than Louis.

(c) The equation of Carl's dollars per hour is similar to Louis':
