Answer:

LN = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

LN = 12w + 7

LP = 15w - 5

Required

Determine LN

Since LM is a bisector, then we have:

LP = LN (See attachment for illustration)

15w - 5 = 12w + 7

Collect Like Terms

15w - 12w = 5 +7

3w = 12

Solve for w

w = 12/3

w = 4

LN is calculated as thus:

LN = 12w + 7

Substitute 4 for w

LN = 12 * 4 + 7

LN = 48 + 7

LN = 55

We have:

\cos 2x = 1 - 2 \sin^2 x

Thus:

1 - 2 \sin^2 x = \sin x

Adding 2 \sin^2 x - 1 gives:

2 \sin^2 x + \sin x - 1 = 0

Factoring gives:

(2 \sin x + 1)(\sin x - 1) = 0

Thus, we have:

\sin x = \frac{-1}{2}

or

\sin x = 1.

Note that because 2 \pi > 2, there will be no solutions y of the form 2n\pi + z for positive integer n and solution z.  So we find the basic values of x giving \sin x \in (\frac{-1}{2}, 1).

For \sin x = \frac{-1}{2} with positive x, x > \pi > 2 (this can be seen easily from the unit circle.  But x < 2, a contradiction.  So we examine the case in which \sin x = 1.

In this case, x = \frac{\pi}{2}.  So this is the only solution to this equation.

Substituting this back in, we have \sin \frac{\pi}{2} = \cos \pi = 1, as desired.  So this is a valid solution.

Thus, x = \frac{\pi}{2}.

10 5/18-8 5/6 = anyone know
marshall27 [118]
The equation given is:
10 5/18 - 8 5/6
Turn the equations to improper fractions
[10*18 +5] = 185
[8 * 6 + 5]= 53
185/18 - 53/6
[185 - 159]/18 = 26/18
26/18 = 1 8/18.
