Answer:

  x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the triangle is a right triangle because the segment marked 16 is tangent to the circle. A tangent always makes a right angle with a radius.

The Pythagorean theorem works well for this. The sum of the squares of the legs of the right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

  x^2 + 16^2 = (x +8)^2

  x^2 +256 = x^2 +16x + 64 . . . . simplify

  16x = 192 . . . . subtract 64+x^2

  x = 12 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

_____

You can also recognize that the difference in lengths of the shortest and longest sides of the triangle is half the length of the middle side. That means the ratios of the sides of this right triangle are 3:4:5, so x = (3/4)·16 = 12.

Fill in the table so it represents a linear function.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

(From left to right) 2  5  8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the gap (between the first and last terms) 11 - (-1) = 12

2. Divide by the number of times the linear term is added: 12/4=3

3. Use the common difference to find the missing values.

How to solve this trigonometric equation cos3x + sin5x = 0
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

  x = {nπ -π/4, (4nπ -π)/16}

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to make use of the identities for angle sums and differences to rewrite the sum:

  cos(3x) +sin(5x) = cos(4x -x) +sin(4x +x)

  = cos(4x)cos(x) +sin(4x)sin(x) +sin(4x)cos(x) +cos(4x)sin(x)

  = sin(x)(sin(4x) +cos(4x)) +cos(x)(sin(4x) +cos(4x))

  = (sin(x) +cos(x))·(sin(4x) +cos(4x))

Each of the sums in this product is of the same form, so each can be simplified using the identity ...

  sin(x) +cos(x) = √2·sin(x +π/4)

Then the given equation can be rewritten as ...

  cos(3x) +sin(5x) = 0

  2·sin(x +π/4)·sin(4x +π/4) = 0

Of course sin(x) = 0 for x = n·π, so these factors are zero when ...

  sin(x +π/4) = 0   ⇒   x = nπ -π/4

  sin(4x +π/4) = 0   ⇒   x = (nπ -π/4)/4 = (4nπ -π)/16

The solutions are ...

  x ∈ {(n-1)π/4, (4n-1)π/16} . . . . . for any integer n

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! I don’t know how to do this problem or where to start! How do I solve this?
Leto [7]

Answer:

W = 4.95

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to start by writing down what you know, and forming a system of equations.

L= length W= width

2L+2W=14.7    

L= 2.4

On the left side of the equation, you're adding all your side lengths, and on the right, is the total perimeter. (Also could be written L+L+W+W = 14.7)

You would then substitute L from the bottom equation into the top equation to get:

2(2.4) +2W=14.7

Solving:

4.8+2w=14.7

W= 4.95

To check your answer simply add all the sides together and make sure it equals your perimeter. You can also plug W and L back into the original equation.
