Answer:

x = {nπ -π/4, (4nπ -π)/16}

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to make use of the identities for angle sums and differences to rewrite the sum:

cos(3x) +sin(5x) = cos(4x -x) +sin(4x +x)

= cos(4x)cos(x) +sin(4x)sin(x) +sin(4x)cos(x) +cos(4x)sin(x)

= sin(x)(sin(4x) +cos(4x)) +cos(x)(sin(4x) +cos(4x))

= (sin(x) +cos(x))·(sin(4x) +cos(4x))

Each of the sums in this product is of the same form, so each can be simplified using the identity ...

sin(x) +cos(x) = √2·sin(x +π/4)

Then the given equation can be rewritten as ...

cos(3x) +sin(5x) = 0

2·sin(x +π/4)·sin(4x +π/4) = 0

Of course sin(x) = 0 for x = n·π, so these factors are zero when ...

sin(x +π/4) = 0 ⇒ x = nπ -π/4

sin(4x +π/4) = 0 ⇒ x = (nπ -π/4)/4 = (4nπ -π)/16

The solutions are ...

x ∈ {(n-1)π/4, (4n-1)π/16} . . . . . for any integer n

Brad says that if a second number is 125% of the first number than the second number must be 75% of the second number is he corr

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the first number is x, and the second number is y. Given, the second number is 125% of the first number. So, the equation will be

y = 1.25 x

Or, y= 5/4x

Now, multiplying it with 4/5, we get, x= 4/5y

Or, x= 0.80 y

But, Brad is saying the first number must be 75% of the second number. But here we see that the first number is 80% of the second number. That's why Brad is incorrect.

The polygons are similar. Find the missing side length.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangles are similar, so their corresponding sides would be in proportion.

Therefore,

$\frac{24}{32} = \frac{33}{?} \\ \\ \\ ? = \frac{32 \times 33}{24} \\ \\ ? = \frac{4\times 33}{3} \\ \\ ? = 4\times 11 \\ \\ ? = 44 \: units$

Allegra has a cell-phone plan that charges $65 per month and $0.10 for every minute that she uses the phone beyond what her plan

Bond [772]

It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   8.40 = 0.10m
   84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.
