If 3cot^2x - 5cotx = -2, then cotx = _____.

1 answer:

7 0

3cot²x - 5cotx = -2

Lets pretend cotx = t

3t² - 5t = -2
3t² - 5t + 2 = 0

factor polynomial
(3t-2)(t-1) = 0

3t-2 = 0
t-1 = 0

then "t" which is also cotx is equal to 1 or 2/3

3/4(x+5 1/2) = 5/8<br><br> Distributive Property <br><br> Brainly

Talja [164]

Answer:

x = - $\frac{14}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{4}$ (x + 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = $\frac{5}{8}$

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x + 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x + 33 = 5 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

6x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{-28}{6}$ = - $\frac{14}{3}$

What number out of 75 gives you 64%

What number out of 75 gives you 64 out of 100

x 64

------------ = -----------

75 100

Using cross product

100x = 64*75

100x =4800

Divide each side by 100

100x/100 = 4800/100

x=48
