What does a star mean after a number

2 answers:

A star is written to show multiplication. It is a replacement for a dot or a x which is what you probably learned to be the "times" sign. In upper level maths, the "x" is replaced with a " * " to make it more legible and to avoid confusion with the variable "x".

What is the following quotient? Sqrt 96/ Sqrt 8

Jobisdone [24]

Radicals cannot exist as a denominator, so you would multiply both Sqrt96 and Sqrt8 by the Sqrt8, giving you Sqrt768 over 8 (since a sqrt times itself is the base number, in this case 8) then you would simplify Sqrt768 into 16 x Sqrt3, leaving you with 16xSqrt3 over 8. simplify into 2Sqrt3 by dividing.

Please help explain and solve angels homework

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1. it's a right angle. therefore it has a total of 90°

to get the value of x we start with:

90° - 54° = 36°

(10X+16)°=36°

10X = 36 -16

10X = 20

X = 2

If sin(x) = 5/13, and x is in quadrant 1, then tan(x/2) equals what?

Rufina [12.5K]

$x$ is in quadrant I, so $0$ , which means $0$ , so $\dfrac x2$ belongs to the same quadrant.

Now,

$\tan^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{\sin^2\frac x2}{\cos^2\frac x2}=\dfrac{\frac{1-\cos x}2}{\frac{1+\cos x}2}=\dfrac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}$

Since $\sin x=\dfrac5{13}$ , it follows that

$\cos^2x=1-\sin^2x\implies \cos x=\pm\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac5{13}\right)^2}=\pm\dfrac{12}{13}$

Since $x$ belongs to the first quadrant, you take the positive root ( $\cos x>0$ for $x$ in quadrant I). Then

$\tan\dfrac x2=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\frac{12}{13}}{1+\frac{12}{13}}}$

$\tan x$ is also positive for $x$ in quadrant I, so you take the positive root again. You're left with

$\tan\dfrac x2=\dfrac15$
