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.

I am in fourth grade and I have no idea how to find whole numbers between a fraction can you show me?
allsm [11]

Answer:

To find a a fraction of a whole number, you multiply the numerator of the fraction by the given number and then divide the product by the denominator of the fraction

Solved example for finding a fraction of a whole number:

1)

Find 1/3 of 21.

To find 1/3 of 21, we multiply the numerator 1 by the given whole number 21 and then divide the product 21 by the denominator 3.

1/3 × 21 = 1 × 21/3 = 21/3 = 7

So, 1/3 of 21 = 7.

1/3 of 21 is 7

USE A MODEL Olivia and her brother William had a bicycle race. Olivia rode at a speed
Anni [7]

Answer:

Let the total distance Aileen ran be 'x'

Let the distance ran by Andrew be 'y'

Refer to graph attached for graphical representation of distance travelled by both.

Applying the formula,

distance=speed*time

x=20*t      Equation  1

y= 15*t       equation 2

Since it can be easily understood by the graph attached, that

x=150+y  equation 3

Now putting values of x and y in equation 3

20*t =150 +15*t.

5t= 150

t=30 seconds.

putting the values of t in both the equation 1 and 2

x=20t

=20*30

x  = 600 feet

So the distance ran by Aileen is 600 feet, whereas Andrew ran 450 feet.

Do not mind the names just change them. I had the same question before with different names so that is why. Hope this helps:)
