Complete question is attached.

Answer:

B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, KLMN ~ PQRS. This means they are similar shapes.

From the image, we could denote that:

KL ~ PQ

LM ~ QR

Given that:

KL = 12

PQ = 30

QR = 20

LM = x

To find x, let's use tge expression:

\frac{KL}{PQ} = \frac{LM}{QR}

=  \frac{12}{30} = \frac{x}{20}

Cross multiplying, we have:

12 * 20 = 30x

240 = 30x

To find x, let's divide both sides by 30.

\frac{240}{30} = \frac{30x}{30}

8 = x

x = 8

The correct option is option B.

1)


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-3=1[x-(-3)] \\\\\\ y-3=1(x+3)\implies y-3=x+3\implies y=x+6


2)


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{12}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{12-2}{1-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{10}{1+4}\implies \cfrac{10}{5}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=2[x-(-4)]\implies y-2=2(x+4) \\\\\\ y-2=2x+8\implies y=2x+10

Determine the general solution of:<br><br> sin 3x - sin x = cos2x
SpyIntel [72]
Sin³ x-sin x=cos ² x

we know that:
sin²x + cos²x=1  ⇒cos²x=1-sin²x
Therefore:

sin³x-sin x=1-sin²x
sin³x+sin²x-sin x-1=0

sin³x=z

z³+z²-z-1=0

we divide by Ruffini method:
              1     1     -1     -1
        1           1      2      1                z=1
-------------------------------------
              1     2      1      0
       -1         -1      -1                       z=-1
--------------------------------------
              1     1       0                       z=-1

Therefore; the solutions are z=-1 and z=1

The solutions are:
if z=-1, then
sin x=-1   ⇒x= arcsin -1=π+2kπ    (180º+360ºK)   K∈Z


if z=1, then
sin x=1   ⇒ x=arcsin 1=π/2 + 2kπ   (90º+360ºK)   k∈Z

π/2 + 2kπ    U   π+2Kπ=π/2+kπ     k∈Z    ≈(90º+180ºK)

Answer: π/2 + Kπ    or     90º+180ºK          K∈Z
Z=...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4....
