Answer:

X= 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you need this to be a parallelogram, you need to found two pairs of parallel sides to be the same length.

The AB side has to be the same as the CD side.

So, to find x, you need to equal the two equations given, because both sides have to be the same.

2x+7=12x-6

To find x first put all X terms to one side of the equal and no X terms to the other side.

7+6=12x-2x

And you resolve

13=10x\\13/10=x\\1.3=x

So, to have a parallelogram, the value of X is 1.3

Find the remaining trigonometric ratios of θ if csc(θ) = -6 and cos(θ) is positive
VikaD [51]
Now, the cosecant of θ is -6, or namely -6/1.

however, the cosecant is really the hypotenuse/opposite, but the hypotenuse is never negative, since is just a distance unit from the center of the circle, so in the fraction -6/1, the negative must be the 1, or 6/-1 then.

we know the cosine is positive, and we know the opposite side is -1, or negative, the only happens in the IV quadrant, so θ is in the IV quadrant, now

\bf csc(\theta)=-6\implies csc(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}}{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\pm\sqrt{6^2-(-1)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{35}=a\implies \stackrel{IV~quadrant}{+\sqrt{35}=a}

recall that 

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad\qquad 
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
\\\\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
\qquad \qquad 
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}
\\\\\\
% cosecant
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}
\qquad \qquad 
% secant
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

therefore, let's just plug that on the remaining ones,

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{6}
\qquad\qquad 
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{6}
\\\\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}
\qquad \qquad 
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{1}
\\\\\\
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}

now, let's rationalize the denominator on tangent and secant,

\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies -\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{35}
\\\\\\
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{35}
