Since they're vertical angles, they're equal in degree measure

since they're equal, we can make the two expressions equal to each other

5a - 1 = 2a + 20
add 1 to both sides

5a = 2a + 21
subtract 2a from both sides

3a = 21
divide both sides by 3a

a = 7

now, plug the answer you found for a into one of the two expressions

5a - 1 becomes (5*7) - 1, which equals 34

to double check that they're equivalent (since they're vertical angles)

2a + 20 becomes (2*7) + 20, which equals 34

both angles are 34 degrees!

Is sin(x) even or odd ? prove with examples ?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$\text{sin}(x)$ is an odd function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to prove whether $\text{sin}(x)$ is even or odd.

We know that a function $f(x)$ is even if $f(x)=f(-x)$ and a function $f(x)$ is odd, when $f(-x)=-f(x)$ .

We also know that an even function is symmetric with respect to y-axis and an odd function is symmetric about the origin.

Upon looking at our attachment, we can see that $\text{sin}(x)$ is symmetric with respect to origin, therefore, $\text{sin}(x)$ is an odd function.
