Which of the equations (drawn inside!) are identities? ***CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY!!!*** I don't get this one :( @terenzreignz :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1367471637306:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well, which of these equations are ALWAYS true, no matter what value of x (in their domains, of course)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

HINT: There are two of them...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ermm, i'm not too sure :( i think one of them is A right?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yes, A is true... simply because \[\huge \cot(x) = \frac1{\tan (x)}\] And the other?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

plus in values to check.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm is it B? :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

No guessing. A variation of what @primeralph said, see if there are any values of x, any at all, which would make the equation false.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuz i'm pretty sure D isn't one right?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

D isn't one, for sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i'm debating between B and C... :/ lemme take a look again :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

you do that :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay... ermm quick question, i use a calc for this right? if so, how do you input csc again? ;/ i always forget.. is csc 1/sin ? :/

OpenStudy (primeralph):

csc = 1/sin

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

pfff why would you use 1/sin for csc if you weren't ALREADY SURE that \[\huge \csc(x) = \frac1{\sin(x)}\] ??? You just made me LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh lol... so basically it's A and C then? :P

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yeah... you had the answer already... This is a keeper :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

By the way, @primeralph Welcome to OpenStudy, I hope you're here to stay :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol.... omg *facepalm* hahahah :P thanks :) A and C it is!! :)

OpenStudy (primeralph):

*choose all. Answer may be more than one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, welcome to OS!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yup @primeralph so we got A and C :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!!! :)
