What is the sum of 2/11’ 2/7’ and 1/11’?

pav-90 [236]

Solution

To solve this addition of fractions we are gonna apply the fraction rule which is;

a/c + b/c = (a + b)/c

2/11 + 1/11 = (2 + 1)/11

= (2 + 1)/11 + 2/7

Now add the numerators 2 + 1

= (2 + 1)/11 + 2/7

= 3/11 + 2/7

Now we find the least common multiple

The least common multiple of 11 and 7 is 77.

But before that we cross multiply the numerators.

3 * 7 = 21
2 * 11 = 22

Now the ajustes fraction is;

21/77 + 22/77

Apply the fraction rule which is;

a/c + b/c = (a + b)/c

= (21 + 22)/77

Now we add the numerators.

43/77

Therefore the answer in fraction is 43/77 and in decimal form it is 0.55841

Find the x-values that are solutions of the equation 5cot^2x-15=0

julia-pushkina [17]

First solve for the trig function 'cot'
$cot^2 x = \frac{15}{5} = 3$

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)
$cot x = \pm \sqrt{3}$

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

$tan x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.

$x = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$
