Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are just looking for the derivative, then all you need to use the power rule for this. Technically the x in (x-9) has a power to the 1, so really x^1-9. To use power rule, you bring down the exponent, in this case, 1, and then minus 1 from what the exponent was.

1x^(1-1) = 1x^0. The derivative of any constant is 0, so don't even worry about the -9. We know that anything raised to the zero is just 1, so in this case your answer is 1.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

20x - 8 = 18x + 6 ( subtract 18x from both sides )

2x - 8 = 6 ( add 8 to both sides )

2x = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 7

Rewrite with only sin x and cos x.

Annette [7]

Option A

$\cos 3 x=\cos x-4 \cos x \sin ^{2} x$

Solution:

Given that we have to rewrite with only sin x and cos x

Given is cos 3x

$cos 3x = cos(x + 2x)$

We know that,

$\cos (a+b)=\cos a \cos b-\sin a \sin b$

Therefore,

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x \cos 2 x-\sin x \sin 2 x$ ---- eqn 1

We know that,

$\sin 2 x=2 \sin x \cos x$

$\cos 2 x=\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x$

Substituting these values in eqn 1

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x\left(\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x\right)-\sin x(2 \sin x \cos x)$ -------- eqn 2

We know that,

$\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x=1-2 \sin ^{2} x$

Applying this in above eqn 2, we get

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x\left(1-2 \sin ^{2} x\right)-\sin x(2 \sin x \cos x)$

$\begin{aligned}&\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x-2 \sin ^{2} x \cos x-2 \sin ^{2} x \cos x\\\\&\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x-4 \sin ^{2} x \cos x\end{aligned}$

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x-4 \cos x \sin ^{2} x$

Therefore,

$\cos 3 x=\cos x-4 \cos x \sin ^{2} x$

Option A is correct

Find the measure of each side indicated. Round to the nearest tenth. Picture included below.

skad [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the sine and cosine trig functions

21) cos(52)=13/x

x=13/cos(52)

x=21.1

22) sin(75)=6/x

x=6/sin(75)

x=6.2
