Mathematics

Since this is multiple choice, we can pick any x from the listed intervals and check whether sec(x) < cot(x) is true.

• From 0 < x < π/2, take x = π/4. Then

sec(π/4) = 1/cos(π/4) = √2

cot(π/4) = 1/tan(π/4) = 1

but √2 < 1 is not true.

• From π/2 < x < π, take x = 3π/4. Then

sec(3π/4) = 1/cos(3π/4) = -√2

cot(3π/4) = 1/tan(3π/4) = -1

and -√2 < -1 is true. So sec(x) < cot(x) is always true for π/2 < x < π.

• From π < x < 3π/2, take x = 5π/4. Then

sec(5π/4) = 1/cos(5π/4) = -√2

cot(5π/4) = 1/tan(5π/4) = 1

and -√2 < 1 is true. So sec(x) < cot(x) is also true for π < x < 3π/2.

• From 3π/2 < x < 2π, take x = 7π/4. Then

sec(7π/4) = 1/cos(7π/4) = √2

cot(7π/4) = 1/tan(7π/4) = -1

but √2 < -1 is not true.

identify and equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to y=-1/2x-7 that passes through (-3,-2)
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

  y +2 = 2(x +3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in point-slope form for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

The slope of your given line is the coefficient of x, -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-1/2) = 2. So, you have m = 2, (h, k) = (-3, -2), and your desired equation is ...

  y -(-2) = 2(x -(-3)) . . . . . . which can be simplified to ...

  y +2 = 2(x +3)

What is the greatest common factor of 15x^3y^2 and 20x^4y^4?
Vanyuwa [196]
<h3>What is the greatest common factor of 15x³y² and 20x⁴y⁴? ​</h3>

​<em>First we have to find the factors of 15x³y²</em>

<em>15x³y² = 3 * 5x³y² ​</em>

<em>​Then we have to find the factors of 20x⁴y⁴</em>

<em>​20x⁴y⁴ = 2²x¹y² * 5x³y²</em>

<em>Now we have to find the common factors to both numbers.​</em>

<em>The common factors are </em><em>5x³y²</em>

Answer : GCF = (15x³y²,20x⁴y⁴) = 5x³y²​

​Hope this helps!​​​​
