Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x), if sin(x) = cos(x) then tan(x) must be 1.

You can even reason that the acute angle is 45° and sin(x)=cos(x) = $\frac12\sqrt2$ .

Complete the equation so that it has infinitely many solutions.<br> 8x - 14 = 8x -

kati45 [8]

Answer:

8x-14=8x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

So if both the equations are the same, that means that any value of x put in the equation will equal itself, so that means that there are infinite solutions to the equation

If you try to solve this equation, this happens

8x-14=8x-14

add 14 to both sides

8x=8x

divide by 8 both sides

x=x

This means that there are infinite solutions because any number could be x and it would still work

The polynomial remainder theorem says that dividing a polynomial $p(x)$ by $x-c$ leaves a remainder of $p(c)=0$ if $x-c$ is a factor of $p(x)$ . In this case, check $c=-1$ and $c=1$ .
