  • trig identity help, please?

    identity is:

    tanx/(1-cotx) + cotx/(1-tanx) - 1 = secx*cscx

    i'm not looking for an easy way out, but a hint or two would be really helpful. I have been trying it for 2 hours and it's terrible.

    I use sinx^2 + cos^2x = 1 to convert csc, cot, sec and tan... but I keep getting different answer each time I go through it (which I guess is a good thing). My method that got me closest was to not convert tan, cot, etc into sin and cos until that was the only thing left to do, then I ended up having to divide secxcscx by itself.

    any help would be appreciated,

    thanks!

  • good protein for losing some weight and building lean muscle?

    I'm trying to lose a few pounds - about 5 maybe 10lbs. And then after that I need to build lean muscle, but NOT gain mass (at least too much mass). So I'm looking at proteins with low fat and cholestrol content - but there are SO many of them I have no idea what to look for. Does anyone have any recommendations for which proteins I should use?

    I weigh about 170. I'm in the Navy, so I can't be too too big cause I need to do a lot of push-ups and run... (I'm almost breaking the height-weight limit at the moment, actually) and I think those are all the important facts.

    thanks for taking your time to help me out1

  • Need help on a physics problem?

    The problem is: An airplane is flying with a velocity of 85.0 m/s at an angle of 24.0 (degrees) above the horizontal. When the plane is a distance 115m directly above a dog that is standing on level ground, a suitcase drops out of the luggage compartment.

    How far from the dog will the suit case land? Ignore air resistance.

    So to approach this problem, I used the equation x = x(initial) + v(initial)*time + 1/2*(a)*time

    I used it to calculated the time the suitcase took to fall - so only using values with respect to the y-axis. And then I tried to use the same formula to calculate the x distance.... but that was wrong. So I used a formula in the book - which he hasn't taught yet - x = (v(initial)*cos(alpha))*time. And that still hasn't given me the right answer.

    Any insight would be great! Thanks in advance and please explain work throughly as I would like to learn what I did wrong.

  • need help with a trig calculation?

    I can't get the answer from the back of the book... I'm just getting a different answer.

    so could someone give a little work and an answer so i could figure out what i did wrong, please. Thanks in advance

    Use the trig/polar form to find the cube roots of z = -125i. Represent the roots graphically(use degrees)

    *you also have to use demoivre's theorem

    The answers given are w0 = 5(cos90 + sin90i), w1 = 5 (cos210 + sin210i), w2 = 5(cos330 + sin330i)

    i am getting w0 = 5(cos30 + sin30i), w1 = 5(cos150 + sin150), w2 = 5(cos270 + sin270)

  • During sex my penis kinda just goes limp... how can i fix this problem?

    So it's not all the time. I can have sex once, but if we decide to do it a second time that night, then it just goes limp and I won't get hard again.

    I'm new to having sex, this is my first sexual partner and we've been at it for about a month. So is this just something I need to build up to? Cause we've done it twice, once before.

    On that note, how can I improve my sexual endurance? cause she's not orgasming just yet and I can last about 5 mins... so I think a little longer would be beneficial for both of us.

  • What's a good laptop for my needs?

    I bought a Dell Isperion or whatever it's spelled like... it was crap. So I'm returning it the day I got it.

    I am going to college in 3 weeks. I need it to be good for work processing (the insperion had a crap keyboard in my opinion).

    I'm gonna use it to keep intouch with family, so good resolution for Skype and pictures. Enough memory... which isn't a major concern, i can just get an external hard drive.

    And I'm a musician, so I'll be doing a little bit of recording on it.

    those are my three desires in an affordable laptop. I don't want to spend more than $800. what'd you think i should look into?

  • for preparation in the military, should i focus on developing my slow-twitch or fast-twitch muscles mostly?

    So slow twitch is like endurance muscles from doing push-ups, sit-ups, etc. Fast twitch are full force muscles from weight training.

    I plan on doing both, but which should i focus more on. I'm going into the navy

  • why can't i get an erection?

    So my girlfriend and i have talked about it, and decided that we were going to be a "sexually active" couple. We've tried a few times... but i can't get an erection. I read an article from askmen.com or something like that, about having performance anxiety. but I don't feel nervous around her, i'm pretty confident with my genital size and my body. I can get hard enough to put a condom on, but then it just goes away...

    i know it's not erectile disfunction cause it has no problem getting hard when it's just me.

    Anyone know what it is? Cause i'm lost on this... and i don't know who to ask about this kind of thing

  • is it impolite to kiss a girl in front of her dad?

    So my dad and her dad met (borrowing some tools... classic stuff) and they like each other, but my dad lectured me afterward that the most I should be doing with her around him is holding hands.

    It was dark, and getting a little chilly, so I was holding her - I also wanted to, but that's not the point. And we just talked while our dad's chatted about whatever. It's not like we were making out or anything!! So when we left I gave her a quick kiss and shook his hand and then my dad freaked out when we drove back to my house.

    so what's the deal? is that just old fashion stuff?? or is it still viable like opening doors for ladies? [it being asking the dad permission before I kiss her - in front of him at least

    we're high school seniors and have been going out for 3 months and a bit - if that changes anything

  • Need to get prepared for swimming?

    I'm an avid cross country runner, so I have a strong core and strong legs. I also played lacrosse and lift weights, so I am fairly strong upper body wise. I do a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, etc also.

    So I'm thinking that I will do fine as long as I learn proper form and stuff. But what other kind of things should I do to prepare, cause I don't really have access to a swimming pool at the moment. I am trying though... so beside swimming, what should I do to prepare for swim season?

  • What kind of flowers to get a girl?

    Okay, so going on a date. I'm not sure if she even likes flowers... but I'm still getting her some either way - she can get over it (we're kind of good friends... if you can't tell).

    So what kind? I'm not getting her roses... cause I know she doesn't like those. And at one point she tried to explain to me that different flowers and different colors have different meanings... but I didn't understand it to well. My gay friend tells me lilies are good, anyone second that? Any other flowers?

    So what about colors? I know no yellow! So pinks, purples and whites are cool? If anyone would care to explain the color deal then that'd be appreciated to.

    So any help would be appreciated, so thanks in advance!

    PS: I'm a teenager, I'm broke, trying to keep this under $25, so if you could respect that, thanks.
