Simplify the expression. Quantity cosecant of x to the power of two times secant of x to the power of two divided by quantity se

Art [367]

Answer:

D. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression, $\frac{\csc^{2}x\sec^{2}x}{\sec^{2}x+\csc^{2}x}$

We get, eliminating the cosecant function,

$\frac{\sec^{2}x}{\frac{\sec^{2}x}{\csc^{2}x}+1}$

As, sinx is reciprocal of cosecx and cosx is reciprocal of secx,

i.e. $\frac{\sec^{2}x}{\frac{\sin^{2}x}{\cos^{2}x}+1}$

i.e. $\frac{1}{\cos^{2}x}\times \frac{\cos^{2}x}{\sin^{2}x+\cos^{2}x}$

Since, we know that, $\sin^{2}x+\cos^{2}x=1$

Thus,

$\frac{1}{\cos^{2}x}\times \frac{\cos^{2}x}{\sin^{2}x+\cos^{2}x}=1$

So, after simplifying, we get that the result is 1.

Hence, option D is correct.

In a bag there are 10p coins, 20p coins and 50p coins

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Approximately 25p (please change to pounds by yourself I'm not European, sorry).

Ok so according to my research its 100 pence to one pound. Which will mean that 25p in pounds is £ 00.25

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>let's say:</h3><h3>10p= <em>x</em></h3><h3>20p=<em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em></h3><h3>50p= <em>z</em><em> </em></h3><h3>'3 fewer 20p (<em>y</em><em>)</em><em> </em>coins than 10p (<em>x</em>) coins'</h3><h3>Therefore:</h3><h3>y-3=<em>x</em><em> </em></h3><h3>and <em>y</em>= <em>x</em>+3</h3><h3>'7 more 50p coins (<em>z</em>) than 10p coins (<em>x</em>)'</h3><h3>That is:</h3><h3><em>z</em>+7= <em>x</em></h3><h3><em>z</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x-7</em></h3><h3>'altogether are 61 coins'</h3><h3><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>y</em><em>+</em><em>z</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em>61 </h3><h3>(substitute for y and z)</h3><h3><em>x</em><em> </em>+ <em>x</em><em> </em>+ 3 + <em>x</em><em> </em>- 7 = 61</h3><h3><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>x</em><em>+</em><em>3</em><em>-7</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em>61</h3><h3>3<em>x</em><em> </em>- 4= 61</h3><h3>3<em>x</em>= 61 + 4</h3><h3>3<em>x</em>=65</h3><h3><em>x</em>= 65÷3</h3><h3><em>x</em>= (approximately) 21.6 </h3><h3>(Substitute <em>x</em><em> </em>in <em>y</em><em> </em>and <em>z</em>)</h3><h3><em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>+</em>3</h3><h3><em>y</em><em> </em>= 21.6 + 3 = 24.6 (approximately 25)</h3><h3><em>z</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em>-7</h3><h3><em>z</em><em>=</em><em> </em>21.6-7= 14.6 (approximately 15)</h3><h3>y= 20p </h3><h3>y= 25p (approximately)</h3><h3 /><h3><u>Check</u><u> </u></h3><h3>x+y+z= ?</h3><h3>21.6 + 24.6 + 14.6= 60.8 (approximately 61)</h3>

(Sorry I couldn't change to pounds)

And I tried to explain as much as possible, you can ask if you're confused.
