Answer:

Distribute 8 to all terms within the parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to follow PEMDAS. The steps are:

1) Distribute 8 to all terms within the parenthesis

8(x + 5) = 8(x) + 8(5) = 8x + 40

2) Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS

8x + 40 = 56

2.5) Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other

8x + 40 (-40) = 56 (-40)

8x = 56 - 40

8x = 16

(8x)/2 = (16)/2

x = 16/2

x = 8

8 is your answer

Trigonometry and trigonometric functions

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The trigonometric functions include the following 6 functions: sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. For each of these functions, there is an inverse trigonometric function. The trigonometric functions can be defined using the unit circle.

1. Complete the inequality below to describe the

dezoksy [38]

Domain is the entire span left to right (on the x-axis) that the graph is on. Since the graph goes from x=-4 and ends at x=4, the domain would be from -4 to 4. The circle at -4 is open, so it does not include the point at -4, just everything leading up to it. So, the domain would be

$- 4 < x \leqslant 4$

The range is similar, it is the entire span that the graph goes up and down (on the y-axis). The graph starts at the bottom at y=-2, and ends at y=5. The bottom point (4,-2) is closed, so the graph includes that point, and the top point (-4,5) is open and doesn't include the point. Therefore, the range would be

$- 2 \leqslant x < 5$
