What are three quotations from to Kill a Mockingbird that describe Scout as loyal? (and include chapters)

Scout shows traits of loyalty throughout To Kill
a Mockingbird
. She stands up for her father several times during the novel,
and she is particularly loyal to her brother, Jem, and her romantic interest, Dill.
Examples include:


DILL RUNS
AWAY
(Chapter 14).  When Dill decided to run away from his home in
Meridian, Mississippi, he made the long trip to Maycomb. Scout discovered him one night
under her bed. She was taken back when Jem decided to betray their trust and tell
Atticus; Scout certainly had no plans to rat him out, and she was not happy with her
brother.



We
left him without a word... (but) Since things appeared to have worked out pretty well,
Dill and I decided to be civil to
Jem. 



JEM'S
LOST PANTS
(Chapter 6).  When Jem decides to return to the Radley House
to retrieve his lost pants, Scout threatens to tell Atticus. Jem threatens to kill her
if she does. Despite her fear that Jem will be harmed by Boo, she lets Atticus sleep and
Jem go alone back to the Radley's. It was a secret that the two would keep from
Atticus--at least for a while.

I heard Atticus cough. I held my breath... There
he was, returning to
me.



DEFENDING
ATTICUS AGAINST COUSIN FRANCIS
(Chapter 9). Scout exhibits her pugilistic
skills in high fashion when "I split my knuckle to the bone on his (Francis') front
teeth." Francis had made the mistake of calling Atticus a "nigger-lover" and, although
Scout admitted to her Uncle Jack that she wasn't sure what it
meant,



"(I'll)
tell you one thing right now, Uncle Jack, I'll be--I swear before God if I'll sit there
and let him say somethin' about
Atticus."

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
