So 2.5^2= 1.5^2 +b^2
6.25= 2.25 +b^2
Subtract 2.25 on each side
4= b^2
Take the square root of each side
X=2

Hope it helps

Is anybody else here to help me ??

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

$\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}+\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{1}{\sin(x)}(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)}+\sin(x)\frac{sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{1}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\sec(x)]$

$\csc(x)[\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)]$

$\csc(x)\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use $x$ instead of $\theta$ because it is less characters for me to type.

I'm going to start with the left hand side and see if I can turn it into the right hand side.

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

I'm going to use a cofunction identity for the 2nd term.

This is the identity: $\tan(x)=\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$ I'm going to use there.

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

I'm going to rewrite this in terms of $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ because I prefer to work in those terms. My objective here is to some how write this sum as a product.

I'm going to first use these quotient identities: $\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}=\cot(x)$ and $\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}=\tan(x)$

So we have:

$\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}+\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

I'm going to factor out $\frac{1}{\sin(x)}$ because if I do that I will have the $\csc(x)$ factor I see on the right by the reciprocal identity:

$\csc(x)=\frac{1}{\sin(x)}$

$\frac{1}{\sin(x)}(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

Now I need to somehow show right right factor of this is equal to the right factor of the right hand side.

That is, I need to show $\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$ is equal to $\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$ .

So since I want one term I'm going to write as a single fraction first:

$\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

Find a common denominator which is $\cos(x)$ :

$\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)}+\sin(x)\frac{sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}$

By the Pythagorean Identity $\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)=1$ I can rewrite the top as 1:

$\frac{1}{\cos(x)}$

By the quotient identity $\sec(x)=\frac{1}{\cos(x)}$ , I can rewrite this as:

$\sec(x)$

By the cofunction identity $\sec(x)=\csc(x)=(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$ , we have the second factor of the right hand side:

$\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

Let's just do it all together without all the words now:

$\cot(x)+\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

$\cot(x)+\tan(x)$

$\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}+\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$

$\frac{1}{\sin(x)}(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)(\cos(x)+\sin(x)\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)})$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(x)}+\sin(x)\frac{sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos(x)\cos(x)+\sin(x)\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{\cos^2(x)+\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\frac{1}{\cos(x)}]$

$\csc(x)[\sec(x)]$

$\csc(x)[\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)]$

$\csc(x)\csc(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)$

Solve the equation 4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)

Luda [366]

To solve an equation for x we will try to isolate x. Hence, first step is to use the distributive property. Therefore,

4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)

4x + 29 = 5 - 8x - 48

4x + 29 = - 43 -8x Combine the like terms.

4x + 29 + 8x = -43 Add 8x to each sides of the equation.

12x + 29 = -43

12x = -43 - 29 Subtract 29 from each sides.

12x = -72

$\frac{12x}{12} =-\frac{72}{12}$

So, x =- 6
