To write this function in function notation all you would need to do is rearrange the equation for y.
3x + 2y = 12
3x - 3x + 2y = 12 - 3x
2y = 12 - 3x
2y/2 = 12/2 - 3x/2
Y = 6 - 3/2 X or
Y = -3/2 X + 6.
First solve for the trig function 'cot'

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.
Answer:
17/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You would need to convert 5 into a fraction with the denominator 3, so 5 = 15/3. 15/3 + 2/3 = 17/3
1/3times3=3/3 3/3 is the same as a whole so do 41 and 1/2 times 3 this gets you an answer of 124.5 meaning the unit 124.5x he makes 124.5 rotations per minute
