Verify the identity and explain how cot(x- pi/2)= -tan x
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

First, let's recall some usefull information:

- cot(x) = 1/tg(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)

- tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

We also know that:

- cos(x - pi/2) = sin(x)

- sin(x - pi/2) = -cos(x)

Now we can use those relationships and get:

cot(x - pi/2) = cos(x - pi/2)/sin(x -pi/2) = sin(x)/-cos(x) = -tan(x)

So we have verified the identity, and explained step by step why the identity is true.

Help me pleaseeeeeeeeeee
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Part A: 2m/1s

Part B: 7m/6s or 5m/2s (I'm new to this as well)

Part C: 0m/1s

Part B is the fastest because the slope is the steepest and Part C is the slowest because there's no speed happening; it's at rest.
