If one angle in a pair of vertical angles with measures 42° and the other measures ( 2n - 4 ) degrees, which is the value of N?

Hoochie [10]

N= C. 23
2n-4=42
add 4 to both sides
2n=46
divide both sides by 2
n=32

Given sin x =.1234, find x in degrees.

romanna [79]

You plug in the calculator sin−¹(.1234)
And it gives you 7.088
But since it asks you to round it your final answer would be:
7.1

What is the difference x/x^2-16-3/x-4

kenny6666 [7]

General Idea:

When simplifying a rational expression, we need to do the below steps:

(i) Factor the Denominator of each fraction

(ii) Identify the Least Common Denominator (It is the product of prime factors involved with its highest exponent)

(iii) Identify and rewrite the equivalent fraction with the desired LCD.

(iv) Once the denominator are same, Combine the numerator.

Applying the concept:

What is the difference x/x^2-16-3/x-4

I assume that you mean to type the expression $\frac{x}{x^{2}-16} -\frac{3}{x-4}$

Step 1: Factoring $x^{2} -16$

$x^{2} -16=x^{2} -4^{2} =(x+4)(x-4)$

Step 2: Identifying the LCD, we get $(x+4)(x-4)$

Step 3: Rewriting the second fraction by multiplying x+4 on both top and bottom of second fraction so that we get the LCD.

$\frac{x}{x^2-16}-\frac{3}{x-4}=\frac{x}{(x+4)(x-4)} -\frac{3*(x+4)}{(x-4)*(x+4)} Step 4: Combine like terms since the denominators are same[tex] \frac{x-3(x+4)}{(x+4)(x-4)} =\frac{x-3x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)}=\frac{-2x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)} =\frac{-2(x+6)}{(x+4)(x-4)}$
