A) By the rules of secants,
  5(x +5) = 6(6 +4)
  x + 5 = 12
  x = 7


b) 3(3 +5) = 4(x +4)
  6 = x +4
  2 = x

Answer:

a) x = 7

b) x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 ( x + 5 ) = 6 ( 6 +4 )

⇒ Expand brackets

5 x + 25 = 36 + 24

⇒ Simplify

5 x + 25 = 60

⇒ Minus 25 from both sides to isolate  5 x

5 x = 35

 x = 7

3 ( 3 + 5 ) = 4 ( x + 4 )  

⇒ Expand brackets

9 + 15 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Simplify

24 = 4 x + 16

⇒ Minus 16 from both sides to isolate 4 x

8 = 4 x

⇒ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

2 = x

1. Derive this identity from the sum and difference formulas for cosine:
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  (1 / 2)[cos(a – b) – cos(a + b)]

= 1/2 ( cosa cosb + sina sinb - (cosa cosb - sina sinb)

= 1/2 ( cosa cosb - cosa cos b + sina sinb + sina sinb)

= 1/2 ( 2 sina sinb)

= sina sinb.

(I  used the 2 identities   cos(a - b) = cosa cosb + sina sinb) and

cos (a + b) = cosa cosb - sina sinb.)

2.  sin (π/2 - x)  = sin (π/2) cos x - cos(π/2) sin x

     =    1 * cos x - 0 * sinx  

     =   cosx - 0

     = cos x.

  (I used the identity sin(a - b) = sina cosb - cosa sinb

 and the fact that  sin(π/2) = 1 and cos (π/2) = 0. )

Construct a linear function, f(x), to model the ordered pairs (6, 2) and (7, −5). f(x) = 7x + 44 f(x) = x + 4 f(x) = −44x + 7 f(
Sonbull [250]

First we find the slope between the two given points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-5 - 2)/(7 - 6) = -7/1 = -7

Now we use the slope-intercept equation of a line.

y = mx + b

We use one point as x and y, and we solve for b.

2 = -7(6) + b

2 = -42 + b

b = 44

The equation is

y = -7x + 44

Answer: f(x) = -7x + 44
