By definition of tangent,

tan(θ - x) = sin(θ - x) / cos(θ - x)

Expand the sine and cosine terms using the angle sum identities,

sin(x ± y) = sin(x) cos(y) ± cos(x) sin(y)

cos(x ± y) = cos(x) cos(y) ∓ sin(x) sin(y)

from which we get

tan(θ - x) = (sin(θ) cos(x) - cos(θ) sin(x)) / (cos(θ) cos(x) + sin(θ) sin(x))

Also recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

from which we have two possible values for each of cos(θ) and sin(x):

cos(θ) = ± √(1 - sin²(θ)) = ± 3/5

sin(x) = ± √(1 - cos²(x)) = ± 12/13

Since there are 2 choices each for cos(θ) and sin(x), we'll have 4 possible values of tan(θ - x) :

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -56/33

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 16/63

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -16/63

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 56/33

  • cosø=3/5
  • sinx=12/13

Now

cos(ø-x)

  • cosøcosx+sinøsinx
  • (3/5)(-5/13)+(4/5)(12/13)
  • (33/65)

sin(ø-x)

  • sinøsinx-cosøcosx
  • 48/65+33/65
  • 81/65

So

tan(ø-x)

  • sin(ø-x)/cos(ø-x)
  • 81/65÷33/65
  • 81/33
  • 27/11

What is the solution for the =.
liq [111]

Answer:

solution for n is \frac{-13}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an equation containing one variable n.

The equation is as follows:

\frac{-5}{2} =\frac{3}{4} +n

To solve for n we can subtract 3/4 from both the sides

The result is

\frac{-5}{2} -\frac{3}{4} =n\\Take LCD as 4\\\\frac{-10-3}{4} =n

Verify:

Substitute the answer in the given equation.

\frac{-5}{2} =\frac{3}{4} -(\frac{13}{4} )

Both sides equal thus proving our correctness of answer.

4) During a school carnival, students from the middle school raised money by selling crafts, food, game tickets, and school play
ioda

$225 was earned from the craft sales

and $40 was earned from the play.

Given, During a school carnival, students from the middle school raised money by selling crafts, food, game tickets, and school play admissions.

Of each dollar earned, $0.15 came from games. Craft sales earned 3 times as much as games. Food sales were 4 times the amount earned from the play.

Let the amount earned by play be x,

Now, Games earned = 0.15×500 = $75

Also, crafts earned 3×75 = $225

Now, as play earned x, then food earned 4x.

According to question,

x + 75 + 225 + 4x = 500

5x + 300 = 500

5x = 200

x = 40

So, the amount earned by Play be, $40

and the amount earned by Food be $160.

Hence, $225 was earned from the craft sales

and $40 was earned from the play.

4x-5=7+4y<br> How do you solve?
solong [7]
 solve for x.

4x−5=7+4y

Add 5 to both sides.

4x−5+5=4y+7+5

4x=4y+12

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=4y+12/4

x=y+3
