I think you mean to say \cos^2\theta=\dfrac14. If \theta is in the third quadrant, then \sin\theta and \cos\theta. Recall that


\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\implies\sin\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}

We expect \sin\theta to be negative, so we take the negative root. We end up with

\sin\theta=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac14}=-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2

We also know to expect \cos\theta, so

\cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac14}\implies\cos\theta=-\dfrac12


By definition, we have

\cot\theta=\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}

and so

\cot\theta=\dfrac{-\frac12}{-\frac{\sqrt3}2}=\dfrac1{\sqrt3}

subtracting 1 from the product of 5 and x gives the same value as adding 10 to the product of 3 and x
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

x = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We would first put it in an equation

5x - 1 = 10 + 3x

We would first add 1 on both sides

5x = 11 + 3x

Then we subtract 3x on both sides

2x = 11

Divide both sides by 2

x = 11/2
