Answer:

\boxed {x = -\frac{1}{7}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of x:

6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3

-Use <u>Distributive Property</u>:

6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3

24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3

-Combine like terms:

24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3

24x + 30 = 3x + 27

-Take 3x and subtract it from 24x:

24x + 30 -3x = 3x - 3x + 27

21x + 30 = 27

-Subtract both sides by 30:

21x + 30 - 30 = 27 - 30

21x = -3

-Divide both sides by 21:

\frac{21x}{21} = \frac{-3}{21}

x = \frac{-3}{21}

-Reduce the fraction to the lowest term by extracting and canceling out 3:

x = \frac{-3\div3}{21 \div 3}

\boxed {x = -\frac{1}{7}}

Therefore, the value of x is -\frac{1}{7}.

Given sin x = -4/5 and x is in quadrant 3, what is the value of tan x/2
love history [14]

bearing in mind that, on the III Quadrant, sine as well as cosine are both negative, and that hypotenuse is never negative, so, if the sine is -4/5, the negative number must be the numerator, so sin(x) = (-4)/5.


\bf sin(x)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-4}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{5^2-(-4)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{9}=a\implies \pm 3=a \\\\\\ \stackrel{III~Quadrant}{-3=a}~\hfill cos(x)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf tan\left(\cfrac{\theta}{2}\right)= \begin{cases} \pm \sqrt{\cfrac{1-cos(\theta)}{1+cos(\theta)}} \\\\ \cfrac{sin(\theta)}{1+cos(\theta)}\qquad \leftarrow \textit{let's use this one} \\\\ \cfrac{1-cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{~~\frac{-4}{5}~~}{1-\frac{3}{5}}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{~~\frac{-4}{5}~~}{\frac{2}{5}}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{-4}{5}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2} \\\\\\ tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=\cfrac{-4}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{5}\implies tan\left( \cfrac{x}{2} \right)=-2

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Exploratory Research

Step-by-step explanation:

Exploratory Research is a preliminary research method that  implement various research methods to increase the understanding of a concept, to clarify the exact nature of the problem to be solved, or to identify important variables to be studied.  

For example, if i'm making analysis on the quality of customer care service at  particular firm, let's say MTN GlobalCom. Exploratory research method will be greatly advantageous if being used for such analysis because of the ways it is used for data collection and selection of variables. It will assist me to determine the problems the customer care service are facing with their clients and how to tackle them.

Please can someone help me with the whole page ? Thank u and please please please show your work.
algol [13]
Well, we can really show our work because their is no work to be done. Question 7 is a right angle because it is exactly 90 degrees. So since you now know what a right angle is, you can probably guess Question 8 a would be either 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock. For question 8b , he first one, and acute angle is an angle where it is below 90 degrees. So an example of an acute time is 3:05. An obtuse angle is an angle above 90 degrees. So an obtuse time would be (for example) 3:55. Hope this helped.
