Answer:

Each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average number of whisker of each cat.

We have been given that there are 7 cats in my neighborhood, with an average of 41 whiskers each.

The total number of whiskers of six cats would be 6x.

Since one of the cats has 17 whiskers, so the total number of whiskers of 7 cats would be 6x+17

We will use average formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of data points}}{\text{Number of data points}}

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

41=\frac{6x+17}{7}

Let us solve for x.

41*7=\frac{6x+17}{7}*7

287=6x+17

287-17=6x+17-17

270=6x

Switch sides:

6x=270

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{270}{6}

x=45

Therefore, the each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

5tanx-2cotx+1=0...... .
Verdich [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

5(tanx)^2 -2 +tanx=0

let tanx=y

5y^2 + y-2=0

y=0.5403 or y= -0.7403

tanx=0.5403

x=arctan(0.5403)

x=28.38°

or

tanx=-0.7403

x=arctan(-0.7403)

x=143.49°
