W + 3w - 5 = 23 +5 +5 (-5 +5 cancels out and equals 0) Like terms. What you do to one side, you do to the other. 4w = 28 ---- --- 4 4 Isolate w by dividing by 4 W = 7

Solve the equation on the interval [0,2π]

$\bf 16sin^5(x)+2sin(x)=12sin^3(x)
\\\\\\
16sin^5(x)+2sin(x)-12sin^3(x)=0
\\\\\\
\stackrel{common~factor}{2sin(x)}[8sin^4(x)+1-6sin^2(x)]=0\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
2sin(x)=0\implies sin(x)=0\implies \measuredangle x=sin^{-1}(0)\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
0\\
\pi \\
2\pi 
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf 8sin^4(x)+1-6sin^2(x)=0\implies 8sin^4(x)-6sin^2(x)+1=0$

now, this is a quadratic equation, but the roots do not come out as integers, however it does have them, the discriminant, b² - 4ac, is positive, so it has 2 roots, so we'll plug it in the quadratic formula,

$\bf 8sin^4(x)-6sin^2(x)+1=0\implies 8[~[sin(x)]^2~]^2-6[sin(x)]^2+1=0
\\\\\\
~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula}
\\\\
\begin{array}{lcccl}
& 8 sin^4& -6 sin^2(x)& +1\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array} 
\qquad \qquad 
sin(x)= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}
\\\\\\
sin(x)=\cfrac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(8)(1)}}{2(8)}\implies sin(x)=\cfrac{6\pm\sqrt{4}}{16}
\\\\\\
sin(x)=\cfrac{6\pm 2}{16}\implies sin(x)=
\begin{cases}
\frac{1}{2}\\\\
\frac{1}{4}
\end{cases}$

$\bf \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)
sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)
\end{cases}\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
\frac{\pi }{6}~,~\frac{5\pi }{6}\\
----------\\
\approx~0.252680~radians\\
\qquad or\\
\approx~14.47751~de grees\\
----------\\
\pi -0.252680\\
\approx 2.88891~radians\\
\qquad or\\

\end{cases}$

The equation of a circle is (x + 3)2 + (y + 5)2 = 8. Determine the coordinates of the center of the circle.

Illusion [34]

The equation of the circle is written as: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(h,k) are the points of the center of the circle.
r is the radius.

In case of the given equation the center is (-3,-5)

Hope this helps :)
