Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, she had to first subtract 6 on both sides of the equation. Then divide by 5 on both sides of he equation. After the division part, she was able to successfully isolate x.

The equation she had to solve was (C) 5x+6=21

First step: Subtracting 6 on both sides of equation resulted in

5x = 15

Second step: Dividing both sides of the equation by 5 resulted in

x = 3

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Question like this are better answered if there are list of options; However, I'll simplify as far as the expression can be simplified</em>

Given

$sec^4 x + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 tan^4 x$

Required

Simplify

$(sec^2 x)^2 + sec^2 x tan^2 x - 2 (tan^2 x)^2$

Represent $sec^2x$ with a

Represent $tan^2x$ with b

The expression becomes

$a^2 + ab- 2 b^2$

Factorize

$a^2 + 2ab -ab- 2 b^2$

$a(a + 2b) -b(a+ 2 b)$

$(a -b) (a+ 2 b)$

Recall that

$a = sec^2x$

$b = tan^2x$

The expression $(a -b) (a+ 2 b)$ becomes

$(sec^2x -tan^2x) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

..............................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$sec^2x =1 +tan^2x$

Subtract $tan^2x$ from both sides

$sec^2x - tan^2x =1 +tan^2x - tan^2x$

$sec^2x - tan^2x =1$

..............................................................................................................................

Substitute 1 for $sec^2x - tan^2x$ in $(sec^2x -tan^2x) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

$(1) (sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x)$

Open Bracket

$sec^2x+ 2 tan^2x$ ------------------This is an equivalence

$(secx)^2+ 2 (tanx)^2$

Solving further;

................................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$secx = \frac{1}{cosx}$

$tanx = \frac{sinx}{cosx}$

Substitute the expressions for secx and tanx

................................................................................................................................

$(secx)^2+ 2 (tanx)^2$ becomes

$(\frac{1}{cosx})^2+ 2 (\frac{sinx}{cosx})^2$

Open bracket

$\frac{1}{cos^2x}+ 2 (\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x})$

$\frac{1}{cos^2x}+ \frac{2sin^2x}{cos^2x}$

Add Fraction

$\frac{1 + 2sin^2x}{cos^2x}$ ------------------------ This is another equivalence

................................................................................................................................

In trigonometry

$sin^2x + cos^2x= 1$

Make $sin^2x$ the subject of formula

$sin^2x= 1 - cos^2x$

................................................................................................................................

Substitute the expressions for $1 - cos^2x$ for $sin^2x$

$\frac{1 + 2(1 - cos^2x)}{cos^2x}$

Open bracket

$\frac{1 + 2 - 2cos^2x}{cos^2x}$

$\frac{3 - 2cos^2x}{cos^2x}$ ---------------------- This is another equivalence

Janice needs at least $125 to buy a new bike. She already has $35 and plans to save $10 every week. If w represents the number o

Vilka [71]

Answer:

10w + 35 >= 125

Step-by-step explanation:

She saves $10m per week. That is 10w.

She already has $35, so add 35 to 10w.

10w + 35 >= 125

Find the surface area. round to the nearest hundredth when necessary.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The surface area of the cuboid is 648 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have here is cuboidal in outlook

By using the formula for the surface area of a cuboid, we can get the surface area of the shape

mathematically, we have the surface area of a cuboid as follows;

2(lb + lh + bh)

where l is the length, b is the breadth (width) and h is the height

We can have the length as 9 m, the width as 9 m and the height as 13.5 m

Substituting these values, we have the surface area of the cuboid as;

A = 2(9(9) + 9(13.5) + 9(13.5))

A = 2(81 + 243)

A= 2(324)

A = 648 m^2
