Let x+500 represent the first year

For the $500 more than the previous year for 4 years, we would write:
(x+500)+(x+500+500+500)+(x+500+500+500+500)= 17,800

By adding the equation above, 4x+5000=17,800

4x=17,800-5000
4x=12,800
x=3,200

So the amount the man was paid in the first year is 3,200+500=3,700

15,800 because 500x the 4 years=2,000,17,800-2,000=15,800.so the answer is 15,800.

Naddik [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We we can split 4p into 9p - 5p, and now we have 3p² + 9p - 5p - 15 = 0. We can take out 3p from the first 2 terms and -5 from the last 2 terms. This gets us 3p (p + 3) -5 (p + 3) = 0. These two terms have (p + 3) as a common facor, so we can take that out as well, which give us (p + 3)(3p - 5) = ). Using Zero Product Property, p + 3 = 0 and 3p - 5 = 0, and when we solve each equation, we get p = -3, p= 5/3.

2. We will use the same process.

6x² + 14x - 3x - 7 = 0

2x (3x+7) - 1 (3x+7) = 0

(3x + 7)(2x - 1) = 0

3x + 7 = 0, 2x - 1 = 0

x = -7/3, x=1/2

Hope this helps!

Fill in Sin, Cos, and tan ratio for angle x. <br> Sin X = 4/5 (28/35 simplified)
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Given: \sin(x) = (4/5).

Assuming that 0 < x < 90^{\circ}, \cos(x) = (3/5) while \tan(x) = (4/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean identity \sin^{2}(x) + \cos^{2}(x) = 1.

Assuming that 0 < x < 90^{\circ}, 0 < \cos(x) < 1.

Rearrange the Pythagorean identity to find an expression for \cos(x).

\cos^{2}(x) = 1 - \sin^{2}(x).

Given that 0 < \cos(x) < 1:

\begin{aligned} &\cos(x) \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \sin^{2}(x)} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2}} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} \\ &= \frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}.

Hence, \tan(x) would be:

\begin{aligned}& \tan(x) \\ &= \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} \\ &= \frac{(4/5)}{(3/5)} \\ &= \frac{4}{3}\end{aligned}.
