[6.03] What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

1 answer:

8 0

We multiply both equations by a constant term so that when we subtract the equations, the y values cancel out:

4(4x - 3y = 3)
3(5x - 4y = 3)

16x - 12y = 12
15x -12y = 9; subtracting the second equation from the first:

x = 3

If cosθ=2/3 find cscθ using identities. This is in quad. 1.

laiz [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

cos θ = 2/3

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf {cos \; \theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse} } \\$

Hence, base = 2 units and hypotenuse = 3 units.

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf { H^2 = B^2 + P^2} \\$

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf { P^2 = H^2 - B^2} \\$

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf { P^2 = (3)^2 - (2)^2} \\$

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf { P^2 = 9- 4} \\$

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\bf { P = \sqrt{5}} \\$

Now, we know that :

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf {cosec \; \theta = \dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Perpendicular} } \\$

$\quad \twoheadrightarrow\bf{cosec \; \theta = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{5}} } \\$

Therefore, the required answer is 3/√5.
