Help me with this math question pls!! Find the value of x

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

using the mid segment formula since quadrilateral WZYP is similar to that of MZYT, this is expressed as;

29 = 1/2(23 +11x+2)

Cross multiply

2(29) = 23+11x+2

58 = 25 + 11x

11x = 58 - 25

11x = 33

Divide both sides by 11

11x/11 = 33/11

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3

Homework help, no need to explain answer

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Square each side

Subtract 1 from each side

Divide by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(3x+1) = 4

Square each side

(sqrt(3x+1))^2 = 4^2

3x+1 = 16

Subtract 1 from each side

3x+1-1 = 16-1

3x= 15

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

Is anybody else here to help me ??

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

$\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}+\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{1}{\sin(x)}(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)}+\sin(x)\frac{sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{1}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\sec(x)]$

$\csc(x)[\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)]$

$\csc(x)\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use $x$ instead of $\theta$ because it is less characters for me to type.

I'm going to start with the left hand side and see if I can turn it into the right hand side.

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

I'm going to use a cofunction identity for the 2nd term.

This is the identity: $\tan(x)=\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$ I'm going to use there.

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

I'm going to rewrite this in terms of $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ because I prefer to work in those terms. My objective here is to some how write this sum as a product.

I'm going to first use these quotient identities: $\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}=\cot(x)$ and $\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}=\tan(x)$

So we have:

$\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}+\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

I'm going to factor out $\frac{1}{\sin(x)}$ because if I do that I will have the $\csc(x)$ factor I see on the right by the reciprocal identity:

$\csc(x)=\frac{1}{\sin(x)}$

$\frac{1}{\sin(x)}(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

Now I need to somehow show right right factor of this is equal to the right factor of the right hand side.

That is, I need to show $\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$ is equal to $\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$ .

So since I want one term I'm going to write as a single fraction first:

$\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Find a common denominator which is $\cos(x)$ :

$\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)}+\sin(x)\frac{sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}$

By the Pythagorean Identity $\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)=1$ I can rewrite the top as 1:

$\frac{1}{\cos(x)}$

By the quotient identity $\sec(x)=\frac{1}{\cos(x)}$ , I can rewrite this as:

$\sec(x)$

By the cofunction identity $\sec(x)=\csc(x)=(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$ , we have the second factor of the right hand side:

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

Let's just do it all together without all the words now:

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

$\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}+\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{1}{\sin(x)}(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)}+\sin(x)\frac{sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{1}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\sec(x)]$

$\csc(x)[\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)]$

$\csc(x)\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$
