Let z = sin(x). This means z^2 = (sin(x))^2 = sin^2(x). This allows us to go from the equation you're given to this equation: 7z^2 - 14z + 2 = -5
That turns into 7z^2 - 14z + 7 = 0 after adding 5 to both sides. Use the quadratic formula to solve for z. The only solution is z = 1 (see attached image). Since we made z = sin(x), this means sin(x) = 1. All solutions to this equation will be in the form x = (pi/2) + 2pi*n, which is the radian form of the solution set. If you need the degree form, then it would be x = 90 + 360*n
The 2pi*n (or 360*n) part ensures we get every angle coterminal to pi/2 radians (90 degrees), which captures the entire solution set.
Note: The variable n can be any integer.
Answer:
A) Quantity x minus 5 over quantity x plus 1, where x≠-1 and x≠-9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying the numerator first:
x² + 4x - 45 using the quadratic formula you get;
(x - 5)(x + 9)
Then simplifying the denominator x² + 10x + 9 using a quadratic formula you get;
(x + 1)(x + 9)
Dividing the numerator and denominator now gives;
Cancelling (x + 9) throughout leaves you with;
The only restrictions here is if x = 1 and 9 which will give an undefined answer.
