Seems like there is a correction in the first question (RHS is tanx.tany)

(i) For convenience: let tanx = a ; tany = b

Thus, tanx + tany = a + b

Moreover, cotx = 1/tanx = 1/a ; coty = 1/b

Thus,

cotx + coty = 1/a + 1/b = (a + b)/ab

Hence,

=> (tanx + tany)/(cotx + coty)

=> (a + b) / { (a + b)/ab }

=> ab(a + b)/(a + b)

=> ab => tanx.tany , proved.

(ii) For convenience: let sinx = a ; cosx = b

As we know, sin²x + cos²x = 1 => a²+b²=1

=> (a³ + b³)/(a + b)

=> (a + b)(a² + b² - ab) / (a + b)

=> (a² + b² - ab)

=> 1 - ab => 1 - sinx.cosx , proved

(iii): let x/2 = A

=> tan(x/2) + cosx.tan(x/2)

=> tanA + cos2A.tanA

=> tanA [1 + cos2A]

=> tanA (2cos²A) {1+cos2A = 2cos²A}

=> (sinA/cosA) (2cos²A)

=> sinA (2cosA)

=> 2sinAcosA

=> sin2A

=> sin2(x/2)

=> sinx proved

Letting x/2 = A is not mandatory. I did it to decease words*(in a line).

<u>Indentities used</u>:

• sin²A + cos²A = 1

• (a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² + b² - 1)

• 1 + cosA = 2 cos²(A/2)

• tanA = sinA/cosA.

• 2sinAcosA = sin2A

What is the equation of a line that has an x-intercept of -4 and a y-intercept of 8 ?
podryga [215]

Answer:

y=2/-1+8

Step-by-step explanation:

  • -4= (-4,0) -4=x1 0=y1, 8= (0,8) 0=x2 8=y2
  • formula is, y2-y1/x2-x1
  • 8-0/0-4=8/-4=4/-2= 2/-1
  • 2/-1 is the slope or (m), use (-4,0) or (0,8) i used (0,8) because its easier.
  • (0,8), 0=x1 8=y1
  • formula is y-y1=m(x-x1)
  • y-8=2/-1(x-0) ---->distribute
  • y-8=2/-1x-0 --->get y alone

          +8          +8

  • so the answer is y=2/-1+8
