Cos(A-B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB

cos(π/2 - θ) = cos(π/2)cosθ + sin(π/2)sinθ

π/2 = 90°
cos(π/2) = cos90° = 0. sin(π/2) = sin90° = 1

cos(π/2 - θ) = cos(π/2)cosθ + sin(π/2)sinθ

= 0*cosθ + 1*sinθ = sinθ

Therefore cos(π/2 - θ) = sinθ

3/9 + 3/9 = ??????????????

blsea [12.9K]

3/9 + 3/9 = 6/9

We know that 6/9 can still be simplifed.

So 6/9 will be divided by three.

= 2/3 is the answer.

Which fraction do you multiply by to simplify 5/ 4 - 3i ?

Rzqust [24]

So I assume
$\frac{5}{4-3i}$

If so. Let us begin.

$\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:the\:conjugate}\:\frac{4+3i}{4+3i} \ \textgreater \ \frac{5\left(4+3i\right)}{\left(4-3i\right)\left(4+3i\right)} \ \textgreater \ \left(4-3i\right)\left(4+3i\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:complex\:arithmetic\:rule}:\ \left(a+bi\right)\left(a-bi\right)=a^2+b^2$
$Where\;a=4,\:b=-3 \ \textgreater \ 4^2+\left(-3\right)^2 \ \textgreater \ Refine \ \textgreater \ 25$

$\frac{5\left(4+3i\right)}{25} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5 \ \textgreater \ \frac{4+3i}{5}$

$Group\:the\:real\:part\:and\:the\:imaginary\:part\:of\:the\:complex\:number$
$\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{5}i\;is\;our\;answer!$

Hope this helps!

Solve 3x2 + 4x = 2. TEACH me how to solve this.. I know what to do once I have it in the right forum... but I do not understand

sertanlavr [38]

So if it is 3x^2+4x=2 then
set one side to zero
subtract 2 from both sides
3x^2+4x-2=0
this is not factorable by normal means so use quadratic formula which is if you have the equation in ax^2+bx+c=0 form you can solve for x if you put it into this equation quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b+ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} or \frac{-b- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ so if you were to input it into this equation you would get
a=3
b=4
c=-2

the solution is $x= \frac{-2+ \sqrt{10} }{3} or \frac{-2- \sqrt{10} }{3}$
the answer is C
