Answer:
- The two solutions are:

- The next and every step are below.
Explanation:
1.
: Given (addition property / add - 3 to both sides)
2.
: Given (commom factor - 2)
3. 
To obtain the perfect square it was added the square of half of the coefficient of x: (1/2)² = 1/4, inside the parenthesis.
Since, the terms inside the parentthesis are multiplied by - 2, you have to add - 2 (1/4) = - 1/2 to the left side of the equation.
4. Now, you have that the trinomial x² - x + 1/4 is a square perfect trinomial which is factored as (x - 1/2)² and get the expression:

5. Divide both sides by - 2 to get the next expression:

6. The last step is to extract squere root from both sides of the equality:

Answer:
21.8014094864
Step-by-step explanation:
tan(x)= 4/10
=0.4
inverse tan(0.4)
21.8014094864
We can use tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). Plug in numbers to get:
tan(x+pi/2) = sin(x+pi/2)/cos(x+pi/2)
Here, you can use the sin and cos addition identity:
tan(x+pi/2) = (sin(x)cos(pi/2)+cos(x)sin(pi/2))/(cos(x)cos(pi/2)+sin(x)sin(pi/2))
If you simplify this, you get:
0+cos(x)/0-sin(x)
Which is the definition of cot(x). But, we can't forget about the '-' sign, so, the answer is -cot(x)
