Solve the equation above

Mathematics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

X = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 X (5X-8) = -9

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2

5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)

5 x -8 = -18

Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides

5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8

Then eliminate the opposites

5X = -18 + 8

Calculate the sum

5X = -10

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5

X = -2

What is the reciprocal of 4.5? And after I get the reciprocal how did they get 2 over 9 for the answer?
djverab [1.8K]
So 4.5 is equal to 4 and 1/2 
u can convert that to 9/2
then to get the reciprocal you flip the denominator and numerator
this gives u 2/9

Help,anyone can help me do quetion,I will mark brainlest.​
Serhud [2]

Answer:

a)    x = 2

b)    x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a = (b₁ + b₂)/2 * h

----------------------------

a)

48 = (10 + x)/2 * 8

Divide both sides by 8

6 = (10 + x)/2

multiply both sides by 2

12 = 10 + x

Subtract 10 from both sides

2 = x

x = 2

---------------------------------

b)

18 = (7 + 2)/2 * x

18 = 4.5 * x

divide both sides by 4.5

4 = x

x = 4

Solve for x, 0 ≤ x ≤2π (2cosx-1)(2sinx+√3 ) = 0
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

x = π/3, x = 5π/3, x = 4π/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's split the given equation (2cosx-1)(2sinx+√3 ) = 0 into two parts, and solve each separately. These parts would be 2cos(x) - 1 = 0, and 2sin(x) + √3  = 0.

2\cos \left(x\right)-1=0,\\2\cos \left(x\right)=1,\\\cos \left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}

Remember that the general solutions for cos(x) = 1/2 are x = π/3 + 2πn and x = 5π/3 + 2πn. In this case we are given the interval 0 ≤ x ≤2π, and therefore x = π/3, and x = 5π/3.

Similarly:

\:2\sin \left(x\right)+\sqrt{3}=0,\\2\sin \left(x\right)=-\sqrt{3},\\\sin \left(x\right)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

The general solutions for sin(x) = - √3/2 are x = 4π/3 + 2πn and x = 5π/3 + 2πn. Therefore x = 4π/3 and x = 5π/3 in this case.

So we have x = π/3, x = 5π/3, and x = 4π/3 as our solutions.
