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

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}

Chin canned a number of quart jars and a number of pint jars of tamoatoes from his garden a pint is 16 ounces and a quart us 32
natulia [17]
The total volume of the canned tomato sauce is equal to the sum of those canned in quart jars (32 ounces) and the number of pint jars (16 ounces). If we let p and q be the number of pints and quarts canned, the equation that would best represent the given is,
                                    32q + 16p = 1280
Simplifying the equation by dividing by 16 will give us the final answer of,
                                   2q + p = 80

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a parallelogram.

Angle B and Angle C are adjacent (successive) angles.

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Therefore,

(5x) \degree + (2x + 12) \degree = 180 \degree \\  \\ (5x + 2x + 12) \degree = 180 \degree \\  \\ (7x+ 12) \degree = 180 \degree \\  \\7x+ 12 = 180 \\  \\7x = 180 - 12 \\  \\ 7x = 168 \\  \\ x =  \frac{168}{7}  \\  \\ x = 24
