Multiply and simplify
cot x (sin x + sec x)

Okay. Just to make sure, cot x  = cos x / sin x.

1) So, once cot x is distributed to sin x, then the sin x will cancel out the sin x from the cot x (which I showed you above) and you will be left with just cos x.

2) Once cot x is distributed to sec x (which can be also written as 1 / cos x), the cos x from cot x will cancel out the cos x from sec x.

3) Once you do that, your final answer will be: cos x + (1 / sin x )

554.4

step-by-step explanation:

44*12.6=544.4

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
