Yes you'll use the half angle identities to solve...it sounds like you understand how to use them just not which sign to use.

This is actually pretty easy. All you have to do is know what quadrant your angle is in and that will determine the sign.

Quadrant1 = all trig functions are positive
Quadrant2 = sine is positive and cosine and tangent are negative
Quadrant3 = tangent is positive and sine and cosine are negative
Quadrant4 = cosine is positive and sine and tangent are negative

since your original angle is in quadrant 4 then the half angle will be in Quadrant 2

so the sine of the half angle is positive and the cosine of the half angle is negative

The sine is negative in quadrant 4

adjacent side = 2 and hypotenuse = 3 so opposite side will be -sqrt 5

so sin x = - sqrt5/ 3

Can someone please help me with this logarithm equation!!

Answer:

$\frac{629}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, our equation is:

$log_5(\frac{2x-4}{5}) = 3$

In exponetial form, this looks like:

$5^3=\frac{2x-4}{5}$

Now lets cube the 5:

$125=\frac{2x-4}{5}$

Next, we can multiply the denominator on the right side by 5:

$625=2x-4$

We need to now get x alone by adding 4 to both sides:

$629=2x$

Finally, we divide by x's coefficent, 2, to get:

$x=\frac{629}{2}$

Hope this helps! :3

Answer:

In solid geometry, a face is a flat (planar) surface that forms part of the boundary of a solid object; a three-dimensional solid bounded exclusively by faces is a polyhedron. (OR) A face is a 2D shape that makes up one surface of a 3D shape, an edge is where two faces meet and a vertex is the point or corner of a geometric shape.
