Answer:

In 7 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellen's age = x

Joan's age = x + 5

3 Years ago

(x-3)+(x+5-3)=17

2x+5-6=17

2x=18

x=9

Hence Joan's age is 9+ 5 = 14

21 - 14 = 7

In 7 years Joan will be 21 years old

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of years of Joan y: number of years of ellen We now write the system of equations:
 y = x + 5

 (x-3) + (y-3) = 17
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 9

 y = 14
 So that Joan is 21 years old then:
 j + 9 = 21

 j = 21 - 9

 j = 12
 Answer:
 joan will be 21 years old in 12 years

Please help? I’m super lost...
babunello [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In all of these problems, the key is to remember that you can undo a trig function by taking the inverse of that function.  Watch and see.

a.  sin2\theta =-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

Take the inverse sin of both sides.  When you do that, you are left with just 2theta on the left.  That's why you do this.

sin^{-1}(sin2\theta)=sin^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} )

This simplifies to

2\theta=sin^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} )

We look to the unit circle to see which values of theta give us a sin of -square root of 3 over 2.  Those are:

2\theta =\frac{5\pi }{6} and

2\theta=\frac{7\pi }{6}

Divide both sides by 2 in both of those equations to get that values of theta are:

\theta=\frac{5\pi }{12},\frac{7\pi }{12}

b.  tan(7a)=1

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

tan^{-1}(tan(7a))=tan^{-1}(1)

Taking the inverse tangent of the tangent on the left leaves us with just 7a.  This simplifies to

7a=tan^{-1}(1)

We look to the unit circle to find which values of <em>a</em> give us a tangent of 1.  They are:

7\alpha =\frac{5\pi }{4},7\alpha =\frac{\pi }{4}

Dibide each of those equations by 7 to find that the values of alpha are:

\alpha =\frac{5\pi}{28},\frac{\pi}{28}

c.  cos(3\beta)=\frac{1}{2}

Take the inverse cosine of each side.  The inverse cosine and cosine undo each other, leaving us with just 3beta on the left, just like in the previous problems.  That simplifies to:

3\beta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})

We look to the unit circle to find the values of beta that give us the cosine of 1/2 and those are:

3\beta =\frac{\pi}{6},3\beta  =\frac{5\pi}{6}

Divide each of those by 3 to find the values of beta are:

\beta =\frac{\pi }{18} ,\frac{5\pi}{18}

d.  sec3\alpha =-2

Let's rewrite this in terms of a trig ratio that we are a bit more familiar with:

\frac{1}{cos(3\alpha) } =\frac{-2}{1}

We are going to simplify this even further by flipping both fraction upside down to make it easier to solve:

cos(3\alpha)=-\frac{1}{2}

Now we will take the inverse cos of each side (same as above):

3\alpha =cos^{-1}(-\frac{1}{2} )

We look to the unit circle one last time to find the values of alpha that give us a cosine of -1/2:

3\alpha =\frac{7\pi}{6},3\alpha  =\frac{11\pi}{6}

Dividing both of those equations by 3 gives us

\alpha =\frac{7\pi}{18},\frac{11\pi}{18}

And we're done!!!

HELP NEED NOW, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST: The difference of measures between the arcs subtended by chord AB is 160°. Line l is tangen
omeli [17]

Answer:

  50°

Step-by-step explanation:

As usual, the diagram is not drawn to scale.

The chord divides the circle into two arcs that have a sum of 360°. If we let "a" represent the measure of the smaller arc, then we have ...

  a + (a+160°) = 360°

  2a = 200° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 160°

  a = 100°

The measure of the angle at A is 1/2 the measure of the subtended arc:

  acute ∠A = a/2 = (1/2)·100° = 50°

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

Consider a different inscribed angle, one with vertex V on the circle and subtending the same short arc subtended by chord AB. Then you know that the angle at V is half the measure of arc AB. This is still true as point V approaches (and becomes) point A on the circle. When V becomes A, segment VA becomes tangent line <em>l</em>, and you have the geometry shown here.
