Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)

2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x

2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x

2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x

(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=2

2x−2=2

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=2+2

2x=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

x=2

If a vertical line is dropped from the x-axis to the point (12, –9) in the diagram below, what is the value of sec?

Answer:

Value of $\sec \theta = \frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A vertical line is dropped from the x-axis to the point (12, -9) as shown in the diagram below;

To find the value of $\sec \theta$ .

By definition of secants;

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$

Now, first find the cosine of angle $\theta$

As the point (12 , -9) lies in the IV quadrant , where $\cos \theta > 0$

Consider a right angle triangle;

here, Adjacent side = 12 units and Opposite side = -9 units

Using Pythagoras theorem;

$(Hypotenuse side)^2= (12)^2 + (-9)^2 = 144 + 81 = 225$

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{225} =15 units$

Cosine ratio is defined as in a right angle triangle, the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse side.

$\cos \theta = \frac{Adjacent side}{Hypotenuse side}$

then;

$\cos \theta = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}$

and

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}= \frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{5}{4}$

therefore, the value of $\sec \theta$ is, $\frac{5}{4}$
