Answer:

The step used (x-5)(x-3)=0

C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $8x=x^2+15$

We need to factor it.

First we move all term same side and then we factor is.

$x^2-8x+15=0$

Now we split middle term

$x^2-5x-3x+15=0$

Make group and factor each group

$(x^2-5x)+(-3x+15)=0$

$x(x-5)-3(x-5)=0$

$(x-5)(x-3)=0$

Hence, The step used (x-5)(x-3)=0

Move 8x to the right
0=x^2-8x+15

Then factor
(x-5)(x-3)

Final answer: C

$\bf cot(\theta)=\cfrac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}
\qquad csc(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{sin(\theta)}
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{cos(\theta )cot(\theta )}{1-sin(\theta )}-1=csc(\theta )\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{cos(\theta )\cdot \frac{cos(\theta )}{sin(\theta )}}{1-sin(\theta )}-1\implies \cfrac{\frac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )}}{\frac{1-sin(\theta )}{1}}-1\implies 
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1-sin(\theta )}-1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}-1\implies 
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )-1[sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]]}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}$

$\bf \cfrac{cos^2(\theta )-1[sin(\theta )-sin^2(\theta )]}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(\theta )-sin(\theta )+sin^2(\theta )}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{cos^2(\theta )+sin^2(\theta )-sin(\theta )}{sin(\theta )[1-sin(\theta )]}\implies \cfrac{\underline{1-sin(\theta )}}{sin(\theta )\underline{[1-sin(\theta )]}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{sin(\theta )}\implies csc(\theta )$

If it cost 4 tokens to park for 1 hour how many tokesns will it cost for to park for 22 hours

Andreyy89

It will cost 88 tokens to park for 22 hours because you will have to multiply the 4 by the 22 to get the 88 tokens so therefore the answer is 88 tokens

A car rental company charges $10 a day and 17 cents per mile to rent their cars. If the total charge for a 2-day rental were $61

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

245 miles driven.

Step-by-step explanation:

A car rental company charges $10 a day and 17 cents per mile to rent their cars. 17 cents = 0.17 dollars

Let x be the number of miles and y be the number of days

total change =0.17x + 10y

Given total change is 61.65 and number of days = 2

plug in the values and find out the number of miles

61.65 = 0.17 x + 2(10)

61.65 = 0.17 x + 20

subtract 20 on both sides

41.65 = 0.17x

Divide by 0.17 on both sides

x = 245

245 miles driven.
