Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-1)-2(2x+1)=8(x-1)

3x-3-4x-2=8x-8

3x-4x-3-2=8x-8

-x-5=8x-8

-x-8x-5=-8

-9x-5=-8

-9x=-8+5

-9x=-3

9x=3

x=3/9

simplify

x=1/3

Convert the polar coordinates (-3, -60°) to Cartesian coordinates.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

(1.5,-2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polar coordinates (-3,60°).

Let our Cartesian coordinates be (x,y)

#We know that when converting the rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,θ), then:

$r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\therefore r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(y/x)\\\therefore tan \theta=y/x$

#Using the illustration above, we can express our polar coordinates as:

$-3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\-60\textdegree=tan^{-1}(y/x}$

#Solve simultaneously to solve for x and y:

$(-3)^2=x^2+y^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ i\\\\tan(-0\texdegree)=y/x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii\\\\y=x\ tan(-60\textdegree)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...iii\\\\\#substitute\ y \ in\ i\\\\(-3)^2=x^2+(x \ tan (-60\textdegree))^2\\\\9=x^2+3x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{9/4}=1.5\\\\y=1.5\ tan(-60\textdegree)=-2.5981\approx-2.6$

Hence, the Cartesian coordinates are (1.5,-2.6)
