Solve for x ???????????

Aleks04 [339]

Do you recognize that the hypotenuse here has the length 22 and that the opposite side is the unknown (x)? The angle is 21 degrees.

This is a perfect application of the tangent function:

tan 21 deg = opp / adj = opp / 22 = x / 22

tan 21 deg = 0.384 so x would be 22 tan 21 deg, or
x = 22*(0.384)
= 8.45 (answer)

Solve for x<br> (1/x) -2/3 = (4x)

Vadim26 [7]

The value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is $\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}=4 x$

Subtracting by $4x$ on both sides,

$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{2}{3}-4 x=0$

Taking LCM,

$\frac{3-12 x^{2}-2 x}{3 x}=0$

Multiplying by 3x on both sides,

$-12 x^{2}-2 x+3=0$

Dividing by (-) on both sides,

$12 x^{2}+2 x-3=0$

Using quadratic formula, we can solve for x.

$\begin{aligned}x &=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2}-4 \cdot 12 \cdot(-3)}}{2 \cdot 12} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4+144}}{2 \cdot 144} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{148}}{24} \\&=\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{37}}{24}\end{aligned}$

Taking out common term 2, we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-2(1 \pm \sqrt{37})}{24}} \\{x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{37}}{12}}\end{array}$

Thus, the value of x is $x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{37}}{12}$ and $x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{37}}{12}$

Find sin θ if θ is in Quadrant III and tan θ = . 0.958

Leokris [45]

Use the following identities:
$sec^2 = 1 + tan^2 \\ \\ sec = \frac{1}{cos} \\ \\ sin^2 = 1 - cos^2$
Also because the angle is in quadrant 3, sin must be negative.
Therefore
$sin = - \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{1 + tan^2}}$
Subbing in tan = 0.958
$sin \theta = -0.69178$

Help me with this Please.

sukhopar [10]

35
the ratio for the two is 5:7 and you want to find _:49. to get from 7 to 49 you multiply the 7 by 7. because you did that to one side you have to do the same to the other and multiply 5 by 7 which gives you 35
