Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value (or modulus) | x | of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of −5 is also 5. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is its POSITIVE distance from 0. We notate absolute value as |x|.

For example, if you wanted to determine the absolute value of -5, you would write it as |-5| which is 5.

-5 is 5 away from 0, so this confirms the answer is right.

How do you prove cotx/(cscx-sinx)=secx

Lelechka [254]

$\dfrac{\cot x}{\csc x-\sin x}=\dfrac{\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}}{\frac{1}{\sin x}-\sin x}=
\dfrac{\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}}{\frac{1}{\sin x}-\frac{\sin^2x}{\sin x}}=
\dfrac{\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}}{\frac{1-\sin^2x}{\sin x}}=\\\\\\=
\dfrac{\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}}{\frac{\cos^2x}{\sin x}}=\dfrac{\cos x\cdot\sin x}{\sin x\cdot\cos^2x}=\dfrac{1}{\cos x}=\boxed{\sec x}$

The parking space shown at the right has an area of 209 ft2. A custom

jeyben [28]

Given:

The parking space shown at the right has an area of 209 ft².

A custom truck has rectangular dimensions of 13.5 ft by 8.5 ft.

To find:

Whether the truck fit in the parking space or not?

Solution:

If the area of the truck is more than the area of the parking space, then the truck cannot fit in the parking space otherwise it will fit in the parking space.

The area of a rectangle is:

$Area=length\times width$

Area of the rectangular truck is:

$Area=13.5\times 8.5$

$Area=114.75$

The area of the truck is 114.75 ft² which is less than the area of the parking space, 209 ft².

Therefore, the truck can fit in the parking space because the area of the truck is less than the area of the parking space.
