A 'tangent' to a line means the derivative. You can differentiate the function as follows:
f(x) = x+sin(x)
f'(x) = 1+cos(x)

At a horizontal tangent, the derivative is equal to 0. So, let's set it equal to 0, and solve for x. Remember, whenever doing trigonometry in calculus, we assume we are answering in radians. So:
f'(x) = 1+cos(x)
0 = 1+cos(x)
-1=cos(x)

The values at which cos(x) equals -1 are π, and then 3π, 5π and so on. You basically just keep adding 2π to the previous number and get the answer. So, this can be written as:
a_n = a_{(n-1)}+2 \pi

That will be your final answer. You could write this as an infinite series, but I just didn't want to complicate it. So, if you want one, I can give you one.

Complementary angles ⇒ the angles add up to 90°

∠A and ∠B are complementary ⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 90°

∠A + ∠B = 90°

Plug in the values for ∠A and ∠B:
(3x - 8) + (5x + 10)  = 90

Open the brackets:
3x - 8 + 5x + 10 = 90

Combine like terms:
8x + 2 = 90

Subtract 2 from both sides:
8x = 88

Divide both sides by 8:
x = 11

Answer: x = 11

The solution to the inequality 5x - 4 > 21 is represented by which number line?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the given inequality and solve it for x.

First, add 4 to both sides:  5x > 25

Next, divide both sides by 5:  x > 5

The solution (set) is x > 5.

What is the range of the function<br> f(x) = (x - 1)? when the domain is {-5, 0,5}?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

f(x) = (x - 1)2

f(x) = 2x - 2

let x = -5, f(x) = -12

let x = 0, f(x) = -2

let x = 5, f(x) = 8

range is {-12, -2, 8}
