X/2+1/3=x/3+1/2
x/2=x/3+1/2-1/3
x/2 - x/3 = 3/6 - 2/6
x/2 - x/3 = 1/6
3x/6 - 2x/6 = 1/6
x/6 = 1/6
x = 1/6 * 6

x = 1

$\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{1}{2} \\\frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \\\frac{1}{6}x = \frac{1}{6} \\6(\frac{1}{6}x) = 6(\frac{1}{6}) \\x = 1$

I need help!! please, you don’t even have to do it all just explain to me how to do the first one I’ll catch on

Hi there!

What we need to know:

The three main trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine and tangent:

$\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ $\displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ $\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

"Opposite" refers to the side opposite the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"Hypotenuse" refers to the side opposite the right angle of a right triangle.

"Adjacent" refers to the side next to the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"θ" is read as "theta". It just represents the angle.

Keep in mind that these three ratios only apply to right triangles.

You can use the mnemonic "soh-cah-toa" to help you remember these ratios.

First question

For the first question, we're given the angle with a measure of 56 degrees and the length of the hypotenuse. We must calculate a, which represents the side adjacent to the given angle.

Given the hypotenuse and the adjacent side, we know that we must use the cosine ratio:

$\displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

Plug in the given information:

$\displaystyle cos56=\frac{a}{13}$

Isolate a by multiplying both sides by 13:

$13\displaystyle cos56=a$

Solve using a calculator:

$a=7.3$

Therefore, a is equal to 7.3 when rounded to 1 decimal place.

Other information you will need to know:

In the above question, we needed to solve for a side. But what if we were given two sides and we needed to solve for an angle? For example:

$\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{5}{8}$

In this case, we will use the inverse sine ratio:

$\displaystyle \theta=sin^-^1(\frac{5}{8})$

Solve using a calculator:

$\displaystyle \theta=39$

Therefore, the angle would equal approximately 39 degrees.

I hope this helps!

Quadrilateral ABCD is rotated 145° about point T. The result is quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. Which congruency statement is correct?

lilavasa [31]

The congruency statement should be that which shows the congruency of the corresponding angle and the sides. In the rotation of the polygon, the angle A is congruent with angle A' still. The same is true for all the angles and sides. The congruency statement is therefore, ABCD is congruent to A'B'C'D' The answer to this item is letter A.

Simplify this expression x² x x x x

cupoosta [38]

Although x ² and x both have the variable x, you can’t add them together. So x + x + x + x is 4x and we just leave x ² the same. So the simplified expression is x ² + 4x. I hope this helped!!

The height of a soccer ball thrown of a hill can be modeled by the equation h = -16t^2 -8t +120.

inessss [21]

Answer:

120 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the y-intercept to calculate the initial hight, this can be done by substituting o in for t

h(0)= -16(0)^2-8(0)+120

=120ft
