What is the value of x in the diagram?

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2+ ( 2x+2)^2 = (2x+3)^2

FOIL the squared terms

x^2 +(4x^2 + 4x+4x+4) = 4x^2 + 6x+6x +9

Combine like terms

5x^2+8x +4 = 4x^2 +12x +9

Subtract  4x^2 +12x +9 from each side

5x^2+8x +4  -4x^2 -12x -9= 4x^2 +12x +9-4x^2 -12x -9

x^2 -4x -5 =0

Factor

(x-5) (x+1) = 0

Using the zero product property

x=5   x=-1

But x cannot be negative or we would have negative length

x=5

Prove the following identity :<br>Sin α . Cos α .<br> Tan α =  (1 – Cos<br> α)  (1 + Cos<br> α)
Umnica [9.8K]
Let's work on the left side first. And remember that
the<u> tangent</u> is the same as <u>sin/cos</u>.

sin(a) cos(a) tan(a)

Substitute for the tangent:

[ sin(a) cos(a) ] [ sin(a)/cos(a) ]

Cancel the cos(a) from the top and bottom, and you're left with

[ sin(a) ] . . . . . [ sin(a) ] which is [ <u>sin²(a)</u> ]  That's the <u>left side</u>.

Now, work on the right side:

[ 1 - cos(a) ] [ 1 + cos(a) ]

Multiply that all out, using FOIL:

[ 1 + cos(a) - cos(a) - cos²(a) ]

= [ <u>1 - cos²(a)</u> ] That's the <u>right side</u>.

Do you remember that for any angle, sin²(b) + cos²(b) = 1  ?
Subtract cos²(b) from each side, and you have sin²(b) = 1 - cos²(b) for any angle.

So, on the <u>right side</u>, you could write [ <u>sin²(a)</u> ] .

Now look back about 9 lines, and compare that to the result we got for the <u>left side</u> .

They look quite similar. In fact, they're identical. And so the identity is proven.

Whew !

Answer:

A. The mean is increased by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 9 + 11 + 10 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 12 + 34 = 90/9 = 10

10 - 7 = 3
