)prove that cosA + sinA tanA = secA
LHS=COS(A)+SIN A * SIN(A) / COS(A)= {COS(A) * COS(A) + SIN(A)*SIN(A)} / COS(A)
=1/COS(A)=SEC(A) ..SINCE {COS (A)}^2 +{(SIN (A)}^2 = 1
2)prove that cos(180-y) = -cos y
GO BACK TO THE DEFINITION OF TRIGNOMETRIC RATIOS.
WE START WITH THE ORIGIN AND THE 2 AXES X'OX AND Y'OY
WE START WITH A LINE SEGMENT OP ON X AXIS CALLED RADIUS VECTOR.BY CONVENTION THIS IS ALWAYS POSITIVE.WE LET IT TRAVEL IN COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION (CCD IN SHORT)WHICH IS CONSIDERED THE POSITIVE DIRECTION (PD IN SHORT ), MAKING AN ANGLE ..SAY...A... WITH OX IN THE CCD OR PD.DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE TRAVELLED IT MAY END UP IN ANY OF THE 4 QUADRANTS....YOX (I QUADRANT...0 TO 90 DEGREES),YOX'(II QUADRANT...90 TO 180 DEGREES),Y'OX'(III QUADRANT....180 TO 270 DEGREES),Y'OX (IV QUADRANT...270 TO 360 DEGREES).
THEN WE DROP A PERPENDICULAR PQ FROM P TO X'OX.WE CONSIDER THE RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE OPQ TO DEFINE THE TRIGNOMETRIC RATIOS AS FOLLOWS, WITH ANGLE AT O THAT IS ANGLE POQ BEING A
SIN A = QP/OP
COS A =OQ /OP
TAN A =QP/OQ
AS GIVEN IN THE BEGINING OP IS ALWAYS POSITIVE .SO SIGN OF A RATIO DEPENDS ONLY ON SIGN OF OQ AND QP.
NOW IN YOUR PROBLEM
COS (180-Y)...OP STARTED ON X'OX AND TRAVELLED 180 DEGREES IN CCD ENDING UP ON OX'.THEN IT TRAVELLED BACK BY Y DEGREES IN THE NEGATIVE OR CLOCK WISE DIRECTION TO END UP IN II QUADRANT.
SO IN OUR CASE IN THE RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE OPQ ANGLE POQ = Y....OQ IS NEGATIVE SINCE AT THIS POSITION OQ IS TOWARDS OX' THE NEGATIVE X AXIS.
HENCE COS (180-Y)= OQ / OP = - COS Y.
3)use the sum and difference identities to find the exact value of tan 165 degrees
TAN 165 = TAN (180-15)= - TAN 15 = - TAN (45-30)
= - {(TAN 45 - TAN 30 )/ ( 1 + TAN 45 * TAN 30 ) }
= - { (1-1/SQ.RT.3)/ ( 1+1*1/SQ.RT.3)}
= - { (SQ.RT.3-1)/(SQ.RT.3 +1)}= - { ( SQRT.3 - 1 )^2/((SQRT.3+1)*(SQRT.3-1))}
= - (3+1-2*SQRT.3)/(3-1)= - (2-SQRT.3)=SQRT.3-2


Sequences-and-series/25545: Ok, this is one that has baffled not only myself but my parents and boyfriend as well. This is a problem that no one seems to be able to figure out. Do you think you could help me?
A traveling salesman (selling shoes) stops at a farm in the Midwest. Before he could knock on the door, he noticed an old truck on fire. He rushed over and pulled a young lady out of the flaming truck. Farmer Brown came out and gratefully thanked the traveling salesman for saving his daughter's life. Mr. Brown insisted on giving the man an award for his heroism.
So, the salesman said," If you insist, I do not want much. Get your checkerboard and place one penny on the first square. Then place two pennies on the next square. Then place four pennies on the third square. Continue this until all 64 squares are covered with pennies." As he'd been saving pennies for over 25 years, Mr. Brown did not consider this much of an award, but soon realized he made a miscalculation on the amount of money involved.
How much money would Mr. Brown have to put on the 32nd square?
How much would the traveling salesman receive if the checkerboard only had 32 squares?
Calculate the amount of money necessary to fill the whole checkerboard (64 squares). How much money would the farmer need to give the salesman?

YOU ARE CORRECT. HAVE CONFIDENCE..BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF..THE PROBLEM HAS NO REAL NUMBER SOLUTION
ITS DISCRIMINANT =(-2)^2-4*3*5=4-60=-56... IS NEGATIVE.SO IT HAS NO REAL SOLUTION.
ON COMPLETING THE SQUARE YOU GET NEGATIVE VALUE FOR A PERFECT SQUARE WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE IN REAL NUMBERS


logarithm/25352: hi
i need help with the equation 10^(4log10^3). it asks me to evaluate it, and the anwer is 81. but when i did it i set it = to x, and got 10^x=log10^12.then i got 10^10X=log10^12, in which x=12. Please help me today because i have a test tomorrow! Thanks

IF IT IS 10^(4LOG(3))=X,YOU WILL GET X=81...YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN BASE 10 ..LOG 3 TO BASE 10...ANY WAY CHECK THE PROBLEM
LET 10^(4log10^3)=X....TAKING LOGS
4*{LOG((10)^3)}LOG(10)=LOG(X)
4*3*LOG(10)=LOG(X)
LOG((10)^12)=LOG(X)

ln ((square root x) divided by (y square root z)).
PUT BRACKETS PROPERLY
LN{SQ.RT(X)/(Y*SQ.RT(Z))}IT MEANS SQ.RT.X IS DIVIDED BY BOTH Y AND SQ.RT.Z.
SO WE GET -O.5 LN Z AND NOT +0.5 LN Z
WHERE AS IF IT HAD BEEN
LN{SQ.RT(X)/(Y)*(SQ.RT(Z)},IT COULD BE TAKEN AS
LN{(SQ.RT(X))*(SQ.RT(Z))/(Y),WHEN YOUR ANSWER IS OK. SO PROPER USE OF BRACKETS IS VERY IMPORTANT.HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD.

condense 6lnx-1-ln3.=LN (X)^6 -LN (E)- LN 3..
i got ln(x^6/3)
YOU MISSED TO PUT 1 = LN E..YOU CAN COMBINE BY ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION ONLY IF ALL TERMS ARE LOGS .YOU CANNOT COMBINE LOGS WITH ORDINARY NUMBERS BY ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION.
but the answer says ln(x^6/3e).
NOW IF YOU PUT 1 =LN E ,THEN YOU WILL GET LN(X^6/3E)
where did the e come from?
HOPE IT IS CLEAR.


Parallelograms/25382: This problem is under Chapter 5, pg. 194 #32 in a Houghton Mifflin Math book. It is really hard,and I am desperate for help.

THOUGH , I DONOT HAVE YOUR BOOK ,YOU SHOULD BE HAVING IT.SO FOLLOW THE DIAGRAM FROM THE BOOK.I SHALL FOLLOW THE SAME NOMENCLATURE GIVEN BY YOU.O.K?
ABCD IS THE TRAPEZIUM.LET AB BE THE BOTTOM SIDE AND DC THE TOP SIDE.M IS THE MID POINT OF AD,AND N IS THE MID POINT OF BC.MN IS THE MEDIAN.JOIN AC AND BD THE DIAGONALS.LET AC CUT MN AT E AND BD CUT MN AT F.WE ARE GIVEN
EF=7
AB=2X^2
DC=3X
NOW MEDIAN IN A TRAPEZIUM IS PARALLEL TO THE 2 PARALLEL SIDES AB AND DC AND IS HALF THE SUM OF THE 2 PARALLEL SIDES .THAT IS
MN = (AB+DC)/2=(2X^2+3X)/2
AGAIN ,WE HAVE 3 PARALLEL LINES AB,DC AND MN.ONE TRANSVERSAL AD CUTS THEM IN EQUAL PARTS.(AM=MD).HENCE ANY OTHER TRANSVERSAL ALSO CUTS THEM IN EQUAL PARTS.
HENCE FOR TRANSVERSAL DFB WE HAVE
DF=FB
AND FOR TRANSVERSAL CEA WE HAVE
CE=EA.
NOW IN TRIANGLE DAB , MF IS THE LINE JOINING MIDPOINTS OF DA AND DB.HENCE
MF=AB/2=2X^2/2=X^2....
SIMILARLY IN TRIANGLE CAB , EN IS THE LINE JOINING MIDPOINTS OF CA AND AB.HENCE
EN=AB/2=2X^2/2=X^2.......NOW
MN=(2X^2+3X)/2=MF+FN=MF+EN-EF= X^2+X^2-7 =2X^2-7....OR
2X^2+3X=2(2X^2-7)=4X^2-14
4X^2-14-2X^2-3X=0
2X^2-3X-14=0
2X^2-7X+4X-14=0
X(2X-7)+2(2X-7)=0
(2X-7)(X+2)=0
2X-7=0
X=7/2=3.5

I THINK YOU ARE CONFUSED BETWEEN ...INCONSISTENT,AND DEPENDENT EQUATIONS.
AS THE NAME IMPLIES AN INCONSISTENT SET OF EQUATIONS HAS NO SOLUTION AS THEY ARE INCONSISTENT.FOR EXAMPLE
X+Y=2
2X+2Y=3....HENCE THERE IS NO QUESTION OF GETTING A GENERAL SOLUTION FOR THAT BY ANY METHOD GAUSSIAN ELIMINATION OR ANY..
CONSISTENT AND DEPENDENT EQNS.HAVE INFINITE SOLUTIONS GIVEN BY A GENERAL FORMULA AS YOU HAVE MENTIONED..FOR EX.
X+Y=1
2X+2Y=2....THE GERAL FORMULA IS Y=1-X...OR (X,1-X)IS A SOLUTION SET..LIKE (1,0),(2,-1) ETC....
FINALLY CONSISTENT AND INDEPENDENT EQNS.HAVE UNIQUE SOLUTION..FOR EXAMPLE
X+Y=2
X-Y=0...HAVE ONE UNIQUE SOLUTION X=1 AND Y=1
NOW YOU CAN USE GAUSSIAN ELIMINATION TO THE 3 EXAMPLES ABOVE AND SEE WHAT YOU GET.IF YOU STILL AVE DIFFICULTY COME BACK

This is what I got:

x=14
LENGTH OF BOARD=6 FT....WIDTH OF BOARD =8 FT.
IF X LONG SQUARE PIECES ARE CUT AT 4 CORNERS WE SHALL HAVE THE BOX DIMENSIONS AS
HEIGHT =X.....LENGTH = 6-2X.....WIDTH =8-2X

In triangle ABC, AC=7, BC=12, and angle B=35 degrees. solve the triangle
AC/SIN B = BC/SIN A
7/SIN 35 = 12/SIN A
SIN A = 12*SIN 35/7=0.982838969
A = 79.4 DEG.....OR...... 100.6 DEG.
C=180-35-79.4=65.6 DEG.OR....180-35-100.6=44.4
AC/SIN B = AB/SIN C
7/SIN 35 = AB /SIN 65.6....OR.....7/SIN 35 = AB /SIN 44.4
AB = 7*SIN 65.6/SIN 35....OR..........7*SIN 44.4/SIN 35
AB = 11.12..........OR............8.54

LET X =NUMBER OF CHEAPEST CALCULATORS SOLD AT RATE OF A PER CALCULATOR.
LET Y =NUMBER OF COSTLIEST CALCULATORS SOLD AT RATE OF A+75 PER CALCULATOR.
