Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number

number = x

x - 5 = 3x + 1

now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides

x - 5 + 5 = x

3x + 1 - 3x = 1

x + 3x = 4x

1 - 5 = -4

4x = -4

lastly im going to divide each side by 4

4x / 4 = x

-4 / 4 = -1

x = -1

What is the exact value of sin(5π/12)? <br><br>(please give steps)

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

0.966053748

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sin \bigg( \frac{5\pi}{12} \bigg) \\ = \sin \bigg( \frac{5 \times 180 \degree}{12} \bigg) \\ = \sin ( 5 \times 15 \degree) \\ = \sin ( 75 \degree) \\ = \sin ( 45 \degree + 30 \degree) \\ = \sin 45 \degree \times \cos 30 \degree + \cos 45 \degree \times \sin 30 \degree \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} + \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2 \sqrt{2} } + \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{3} + 1}{2 \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{1.732 + 1}{2 \times 1.414} \\ \\ = \frac{2.732}{2.828} \\ \\ = 0.966053748$
