Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean identity, cancel common factors, and divide numerator and denominator by cos(x). Equivalently, multiply numerator and denominator by sec(x).

\dfrac{\sin^2{x}+2\cos{x}-1}{\sin^2{x}+3\cos{x}-3}=\dfrac{1-\cos^2{x}+2\cos{x}-1}{1-\cos^2{x}+3\cos{x}-3} \qquad\text{replace $\sin^2$ with $1-\cos^2$}\\\\=\dfrac{\cos{x}(2-\cos{x})}{(\cos{x}-1)(2-\cos{x})}=\dfrac{\cos{x}}{\cos{x}-1}=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\cos{x}}{\cos{x}}-\dfrac{1}{\cos{x}}}=\dfrac{1}{1-\sec{x}}

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(x + n)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! Let's get this going!

(x + n ) ^2 is correct because first we get

x^2 and n^2. Yet we need to add one more part to this to make it true which is x * n. We multiply this by two since according to the formula (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

#9. Solve: 8x + 5 = 3x + 15<br><br> X = 4<br> x = 2<br> x = 20/11<br> x = 20
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 5 = 3x + 15

8x - 3x + 5 = 3x - 3x + 15

5x + 5 = 15

5x + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5

5x = 10

5x / 5 = 10 / 5

x = 2
