Find the x-values that are solutions of the equation 5cot^2x-15=0

Mathematics

First solve for the trig function 'cot'
cot^2 x = \frac{15}{5} = 3

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)
cot x = \pm \sqrt{3}

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

tan x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.

x = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}

Otieno is k years old.He is 5 years older than kidole what will be their age fours to come​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Otieno's age in 4 years: k+4

Kidole's age in 4 years: k-1

Step-by-step explanation:

k = Otieno's age

k-5 = Kidole's age

Their ages will increase by 4 years when 4 years pass.

k+4 = Otieno's age in 4 years

k-5+4 = Kidole's age in 4 years

k-1 = Kidole's age in 4 years (after simplifying the expression)

I hope this helps!
