    Simplifying Trig Expression: (sec(t) - cos(t))/sec(t) = (f(t))^2

    Alright, so: 2. Homework Equations sin (2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) cos (2x) = cos^2(x)-sin^2(x) 3. The Attempt at a Solution Sin (2x) / (1+cos(2x)) = (2sin(x)cos(x)) / (1+cos^2(x)-sin^2(x)) = 2 / (1+cos(x)-sin(x)) = 2sec(x)-csc(x) = sec(2x)-csc(x) This seems right, but it doesn't fit with...

    Simplifying Trig Expression: (sec(t) - cos(t))/sec(t) = (f(t))^2

    alright, I have one more question. 1. Homework Statement By using known trig identities, sin(2x)/(1+cos(2x)) can be written as: A) tan(2x) B) tan(x) C) csc(2x) D) sec(x) E) all of the above F) none of the above 2. Homework Equations cos x = sin x/cos x 3. The Attempt at a Solution...

    How do I solve this algebra equation given in an economics class?

    Accidently close the window before I finished my attempted solution. I can see how it is solved by simply guessing and checking, but not using actual algebra. If I put q=120-(q/2) into the form in the book, it is q=(240-q)/2. Here I can see that the answer is 2/3 of 240/2(1). In other words...

    How do I solve this algebra equation given in an economics class?

    Homework Statement I have to solve this algebra equation for an economics class. The equation I must solve is q=120-(q/2). I could solve this by guessing but I need to figure out the algebra behind it. Homework Equations The book gives this equation. Y=(a-bY)/2b and solves it for Y...
