<h2>Translating Word Equations into Numerical Equations</h2>

To change words into equations, we can recognize keywords that translate into operations and/or numbers:

  • <em>quotient</em> = divide
  • <em>a number/the number/two numbers</em> = variables
  • <em>sum</em> = add

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

Let the two numbers be <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>.

We're given:

  • quotient of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> is 3
    ⇒ \dfrac{a}{b}=3
  • sum of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> is 8
    ⇒ a+b=8

First, isolate <em>a</em> in the first equation and substitute it in the second equation to solve for <em>b</em>:

\dfrac{a}{b}=3\\\\a=3b

a+b=8\\3b+b=8\\4b=8\\b=2

Therefore, one of the numbers is 2. Substitute this into one of our equations to solve for <em>a</em>:

a+b=8\\a+2=8\\a=6

Therefore, the other number is 6.

<h2>Answer</h2>

The two numbers are 2 and 6.

Please solve 5 f <br> (Trigonometric Equations)<br> #salute u if u solved it
Zanzabum

Answer:

\beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve \tan \beta \sec \beta=\sqrt{2}, where 0\le \beta \le360\degree.

We rewrite in terms of sine and cosine.

\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos \beta} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \beta} =\sqrt{2}

\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}

Use the Pythagorean identity: \cos^2\beta=1-\sin^2\beta.

\frac{\sin \beta}{1-\sin^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}

\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}(1-\sin^2\beta)

\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta

\implies \sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta+\sin \beta- \sqrt{2}=0

This is a quadratic equation in \sin \beta.

By the quadratic formula, we have:

\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4(\sqrt{2})(-\sqrt{2} ) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }

\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2+4(2) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }

\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{9} }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }

\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm3}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }

\sin \beta=\frac{2}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} } or \sin \beta=\frac{-4}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }

\sin \beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } or \sin \beta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }

\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} or \sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}

When \sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} , \beta=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} )

\implies \beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree on the interval 0\le \beta \le360\degree.

When  \sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}, \beta is not defined because -1\le \sin \beta \le1
