Hi there!

\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} =

We can begin by multiplying by its conjugate:

\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} * \sqrt{\frac{1+cosA}{1+cosA}}  = \\\\\sqrt{\frac{(1-cosA)(1 + cosA)}{(1+cosA)(1 + cosA)}} =

Simplify using the identity:

1 - cos^2A = sin^2A

\sqrt{\frac{(1-cos^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =\\\\\sqrt{\frac{(sin^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =

Take the square root of the expression:

{\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} =

Multiply again by the conjugate to get a SINGLE term in the denominator:

{\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} * {\frac{1-cosA}{1-cosA} =\\

Simplify:

{\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{1-cos^2A} =

Use the above trig identity one more:

{\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{sin^2A} =

Cancel out sinA:

{\frac{(1-cosA)}{sinA}  =

Split the fraction into two:

{\frac{1}{sinA}   - \frac{cosA}{sinA} =

Recall:

1/sinA = cscA\\\\cosA/sinA = cotA

Simplify:

\frac{1}{sinA} + \frac{cosA}{sinA} = \boxed{cscA - cotA}

Scott makes a scale drawing of a rectangular park. He uses the scale 5 centimeters: 3 meters. The length of his drawing is 20 ce
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The area of the park is 108\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is \frac{5}{3}\frac{cm}{m}

step 1

Find the actual length of the rectangular park

Divide the length in the drawing by the scale drawing

20/(5/3)=12\ m

step 2

Find the actual width of the rectangular park

Divide the width in the drawing by the scale drawing

15/(5/3)=9\ m

step 3

Find the area of the park

A=(12)(9)=108\ m^{2}

600+15y=750.<br> solve for y<br> can I as well have the way you solved for y?
Pie
1.)subtract 600 from 750 in order to simplify
2.)divide by 15 on both sides to get y alone. Doing this cancels the 15 on the y and makes the right side equal 10
3.)y=10
