Answer:

x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -2: 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
Combine like terms: 3x - 2 = 1/4
Add 2 to both sides: 3x = 9/4
Divide both sides by 3: x = 3/4

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4

15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4

15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4

You just need to solve for when $y=0$ :

$\dfrac{\cos8t-9\sin8t}4=0\implies\cos8t-9\sin8t=0$

$\implies\cos8t=9\sin8t$

$\implies\dfrac19=\dfrac{\sin8t}{\cos8t}=\tan8t$

$\implies8t=\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+n\pi$

$\implies t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac{n\pi}8$

where $n$ is any integer. We only care about when $0\le t\le1$ , which happens for $n\in\{0,1,2\}$ .

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19\approx0.01$

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac\pi8\approx0.41$

$t=\dfrac18\tan^{-1}\dfrac19+\dfrac\pi4\approx0.80$

Triangle AOC intersects a circle with center O. side AO is 10 inches and the diameter of the circle is 12 inches. What is the le

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$AC=8inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle AOC intersects a circle with center O, side AO is 10 inches and the diameter of the circle is 12 inches, thus

OC is the radius of the circle and is equal to $\frac{D}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6 inches$ .

Now, From ΔAOC, using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(OA)^{2}=(OC)^{2}+(AC)^{2}$

⇒ $(10)^{2}=(6)^2+(AC)^2$

⇒ $100=36+(AC)^2$

⇒ $64=(AC)^2$

⇒ $AC=8inches$
