Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

show that

sinx/1+cosx=tanx/2

From LHS

sinx/1+cosx

According to half angle

sinx = 2sinx/2 cosx/2

cosx = cos²x/2 - sin²x/2

cosx = cos²x/2 - (1- cos²x/2)

cosx = 2cos²x/2 - 1

cos x + 1 = 2cos²x/2

Substitute into the expression;

sinx/1+cosx

= (2sinx/2 cosx/2)/2cos²x/2

= sinx.2/cos x/2

Since tan x = sinx/cosx

Hence sinx/2/cos x/2 = tan x/2 (RHS)

This shows that sinx/1+cosx=tanx/2

netineya [11]

Answer: $1117.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount predicted by Economist =$1180

Let x be the amount spent by Americans on Summer vacation in 2014.

Therefore, According to the question, we have

5.6% of x+x=1180

$\Rightarrow0.056\timesx+x=1180\\\Rightarrow x(0.056+1)=1180\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{1180}{1.056}=1117.42\approx$

Hence, the amount spent by Americans on Summer vacation in 2014 = $1117.42
