Answer: When a = 8, one of the roots of the equation will be 1.

To solve this problem, you could graph the equation with a 1 in the place of the a on a graphing calculator (there are some online).

Then, just keep changing the a value until the graph crosses the x-axis at 1. When, you enter an a value of 8, it will have a root of 1.

This is confusing please help
stira [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

since we are using Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the baseline opposite of the 90° angle),

you want to get the expression

y² = 3² + 3²

so, you pick the ² and put it next to the y left of the "=" sign.

and to the right of the "=" sign you put 3, ², +, 3, ²

Zack divides 6 cups of fruits juice equally among 8 friends how much does each friend get?
Nonamiya [84]
Number of cups you have / number of friends to share it between = 6/8

You can simplify 6/8 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

6/8 = 3/4 or 0.75 of a cup

Solve the inequality for x. Show each step of the solution.10x > 2(8x – 3) – 18
Luden [163]

Answer: x<4

Given the inequality:

10x>2(8x-3)-18

We want to solve the inequality for x.

First, distribute the bracket on the right side of the inequality.

\begin{gathered} 10x>2(8x)-2(3)-18 \\ 10x>16x-6-18 \\ 10x>16x-24 \end{gathered}

Next, subtract 10x from both sides of the inequality.

\begin{gathered} 10x-10x>16x-10x-24 \\ 0>6x-24 \end{gathered}

Add 24 to both sides of the inequality.

\begin{gathered} 0+24>6x-24+24 \\ 24>6x \end{gathered}

Divide both sides of the inequality by 6.

\begin{gathered} \frac{24}{6}>\frac{6x}{6} \\ 4>x \\ \implies x

The solution to the inequality is x<4.

X) sec’A + cosec?A<br>secA. cosecA​
VikaD [51]

Answer:

(Sin A + Cos A)/Sin A. Cos A

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know

Sec A = 1/Cos A

and Cosec A = 1/Sin A

Given Equation

Sec A + Cosec A

Substituting the given values, we get -

1/cos A + 1/Sin A

(Sin A + Cos A)/Sin A. Cos A
