Answer:

x= -1/3 or x= -3/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6x2+6x−1=−5x−4

Step 1: Subtract -5x-4 from both sides.

6x2+6x−1−(−5x−4)=−5x−4−(−5x−4)

6x2+11x+3=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(3x+1)(2x+3)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

3x+1=0 or 2x+3=0

x= -1/3 or x= -3/3

If t a n squared θ = 3 /8 , what is the value of s e c θ

TEA [102]

We can use 3 facts:

$\tan{\theta}=\frac{y}{x}$

$\sec{\theta}=\frac{r}{x}$

$x^2+y^2=r^2$

So, to find our x and our y we can do:

$\tan^2{\theta}=\frac{3}{8} \implies \\ \tan{\theta}=\pm{\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{8}}$ So, now that we know our x and our y we can find our r.

$(\sqrt{3})^2+(\sqrt{8})^2=11 \implies r=\sqrt{11}$

You'll notice, though, that there were two solutions for $\tan{\theta}$ , which means we have a positive and a negative for our x. So:

$\sec{\theta}=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{8}} \\ \sec{\theta}=-\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{8}}}\\ \text{Rationalizing both of them:}\\ \sec{\theta}=\frac{\sqrt{88}}{8} \\ \sec{\theta}=-\frac{\sqrt{88}}{8}$
