So, when we're tasked with things like this, rewriting everything in terms of sine and cosine and combining fractions often trivializes things, so doing just that gives us:

So out expression is 1/cos(x).
It would help if you find common denominator... 12
so 1/3 times 4 both the numerator and denominator
4/12
and 3/4 times by 3 both the numerator and denominator
9/12
the recipe calls for 4/12 cup of oil and you have 9/12
two batches would be 8/12 cups of oil, you have 9/12 that is just enough for the recipe for two batches...
now to simplify it again, 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3 and 2/3 is less than 3/4
the answer would be the upper right
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
You can obtain any two points on the graph of
and use it to draw its graph.
When x=0, 
So you plot (0,2)
When x=1, 
You again plot (1,-71).
With a straight edge you can now draw a straight line through the two points.

Answer:
D) x and ( y z + 1 2 ) are independent of each other
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this is not intended to be describing a function named x with an argument of yz+12, the variables in any expression are assumed to be independent of each other, unless additional information is provided showing their dependencies.
Here, there is no such additional information, so we must assume ...
x and (yz +12) are independent of each other
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The assumption stated in the answer is intended to ensure we're not concerned with something of the form ...
g(x)
which is an expression saying 'g' is dependent on 'x'. If we know 'g' is a function name, then g(yz+12) will make 'g' be dependent on (yz+12).
Similarly, if x(a) is intended to mean that x is a function of 'a', then the corresponding x(yz+12) will mean that x is dependent on (yz+12). This would be quite unusual, since letters toward the end of the alphabet are usually used for variable names, while letters in the middle of the alphabet are used for function names.
