<span>If tan theta= 15/8, then theta is expected that theta is found in the first and third quadrant. the y-component is 15 and the x-component is 8. hence the hypotenuse is 17 from the pythagoren theorem. cos theta thus is equal to 8/17, sec theta is equal to 17/8. csc theta is equal to 17/15. answer are A and D</span>
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 4x
b = x + 2
c = 3x + 4
Solution
(4x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (3x + 4)^3 Remove all the brackets.
16x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16 Collect like terms on the left
17x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16 Subtract the terms on the right
8x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
This factors into
(4x - 12)(2x + 1)
There are 2 answers
4x - 12 = 0
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
or
2x + 1 = 0
2x = - 1
x = - 1/2
You have to look at x = -1/2 carefully. The problem is that 4x = 4*(-1/2) = - 2 which is not possible in Euclidean Geometry.
So the only answer is x = 3
Look up range in the calculator
3x - 5 + 2x = 15+ 4x - 5
5x - 5 = 10 + 4x
5x - 5 + 5 = 10 +5 +4x
5x = 4X + 15
5x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 15
x = 15
Answer:
answer a
Step-by-step explanation:
< 
- Let's isolate
on one side of the equation. Ignore the inequality for now. We'll deal with that later.
- Now, I'm going to bring back the inequality or < symbol. I only removed it when simplifying and isolating , but if this confuses you, just do your math and keep the inequality there.
< 
- On a number line, this would include every number <em>less than </em>, due to the < (less than) symbol. This disqualifies answers b and d because they are showing every number <em>greater than </em>. But, how do we decide between answers a and c?
- If a line has point at its beginning, , then that means that every number <em>less than or equal to</em> [ ≤ ] 6 is being shown, but our equation just says <em>less than </em>[ < ] 6, so answer a is our correct answer.
