Answer:

x = 23°

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Complementary angles measure 90°

3x + (x - 2)° = 90°

=> 3x + x - 2° = 90°

=> 4x - 2° = 90°

Add the additive inverse of -2 to both sides of the equation

i.e 4x - 2° + 2° = 90° + 2°

=> 4x = 92°

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 4

=> 4x/4 = 92°/4

x = 23°

Complete the square to rewrite y = x^2 – 6x + 5 in vertex form. Then state whether the vertex is a maximum or a minimum and give
VMariaS [17]
The first thing to do is to set this equal to zero, then move the constant over to the other side of the equals sign so we only have the x terms to worry about.  x^{2} -6x=-5.  Now we're ready to complete the square.  We take half the linear term, square it, and add it in to both sides.  Our linear term is -6x.  Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9, so we add 9 to both sides: x^{2} -6x+9=-5+9.  Now we will do the math on the right to get 4, and on the left we will express the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process.  (x-3)^2=4. Now we can move the constant back over by subtraction to get (x-3)^2-4=y.  Now we can see that the vertex is (3, -4).  Since this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, which means that the lowest part of the parabola, the vertex, is sitting at the bottom, or at a minimum value.  So our answer is C
