What is the point L if the point P(2,-1) is the midpoint of TL and it is given that T is (-3,-7).

The point P(2 , -1) is the mid point of TL where T is (-3,
-7)


The mid-point of two points ( x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
given by [(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2]


Let L be (x ,
y)


Here we have 2 = (x - 3)/2 and -1 = (y -
7)/2


=> 4 = x - 3 and -2 = y -
7


=> x = 7 and y =
5


The point L has the coordinates (7,
5)

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 ...
