Adding fractions is easy when you get the rules...
10/12 + 6/12...
add the numerator which is the top, and keep the denominator which is the bottom.
10/12 +6/12 = 16/12
change that into a mixed number
16/12 = 1 4/12 which is simplified to 1 1/3
hope this helps

Solve 2sin2(x) – 5sin(x) – 3 = 0. Let u = sin(x). Which of the following is equivalent to the given equation?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

$x=(-1)^{k+1}\cdot \dfrac{\pi}{6}+\pi k,\ k\in Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the equation

$2\sin^2x-5\sin x-3=0$

Substitute

$u=\sin x$

into the equation:

$2u^2-5u-3=0$

This is quadratic equation, where

$D=(-5)^2-4\cdot 2\cdot (-3)=25+24=49\\ \\\sqrt{D}=7$

Hence,

$u_1=\dfrac{-(-5)-\sqrt{D}}{2\cdot 2}=\dfrac{5-7}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\ \\u_2=\dfrac{-(-5)+\sqrt{D}}{2\cdot 2}=\dfrac{5+7}{4}=3$

Now, use the substitution again:

1. When $u_1=-\dfrac{1}{2},$ then

$\sin x=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\ \\x=(-1)^k\sin^{-1}\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)+\pi k,\ k\in Z\\ \\x=(-1)^k\cdot \left(-\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)+\pi k,\ k\in Z\\ \\x=(-1)^{k+1}\cdot \dfrac{\pi}{6}+\pi k,\ k\in Z$
