Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

subtract 12x from both sides

end up with

3 = 72x - 12x + 5

subtract 12x to 72x

3 = 60x + 5

-5 from both sides

-8 = 60x

since x is a bigger number the answer would be NO SOLUTION

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

I do not understand lins logic

x + 6 = 7x + 10

subtract 6 from both sides

x = 7x + 4

move 7x to the other side

7x = 4

divide 7

x = 0.5

Also wrong because I get how lin got that answer

My way

12x + 3 = 72x + 5

-12 x from both sides

3 = 60x + 5

+5 to other side

8 = 60x

if the x was on the other side it would make sense

but it is not so the Answer is NO SOLUTION

Hope this Helped :)

let sin(θ) =3/5 and tan(y) =12/5 both angels comes from 2 different right trianglesa)find the third side of the two tringles b)

In a right triangle, we haev some trigonometric relationships between the sides and angles. Given an angle, the ratio between the opposite side to the angle by the hypotenuse is the sine of this angle, therefore, the following statement

$\sin (\theta)=\frac{3}{5}$

Describes the following triangle

To find the missing length x, we could use the Pythagorean Theorem. The sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. From this, we have the following equation

$x^2+3^2=5^2$

Solving for x, we have

$\begin{gathered} x^2+3^2=5^2 \\ x^2+9=25 \\ x^2=25-9 \\ x^2=16 \\ x=\sqrt[]{16} \\ x=4 \end{gathered}$

The missing length of the first triangle is equal to 4.

For the other triangle, instead of a sine we have a tangent relation. Given an angle in a right triangle, its tanget is equal to the ratio between the opposite side and adjacent side.The following expression

$\tan (y)=\frac{12}{5}$

Describes the following triangle

Using the Pythagorean Theorem again, we have

$5^2+12^2=h^2$

Solving for h, we have

$\begin{gathered} 5^2+12^2=h^2 \\ 25+144=h^2 \\ 169=h^2 \\ h=\sqrt[]{169} \\ h=13 \end{gathered}$

The missing side measure is equal to 13.

Now that we have all sides of both triangles, we can construct any trigonometric relation for those angles.

The sine is the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse, and the cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, therefore, we have the following relations for our angles

$\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta)=\frac{3}{5} \\ \cos (\theta)=\frac{4}{5} \\ \sin (y)=\frac{12}{13} \\ \cos (y)=\frac{5}{13} \end{gathered}$

To calculate the sine and cosine of the sum

$\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta+y) \\ \cos (\theta+y) \end{gathered}$

We can use the following identities

$\begin{gathered} \sin (A+B)=\sin A\cos B+\cos A\sin B \\ \cos (A+B)=\cos A\cos B-\sin A\sin B \end{gathered}$

Using those identities in our problem, we're going to have

$\begin{gathered} \sin (\theta+y)=\sin \theta\cos y+\cos \theta\sin y=\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{13}+\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{12}{13}=\frac{63}{65} \\ \cos (\theta+y)=\cos \theta\cos y-\sin \theta\sin y=\frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{13}-\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{12}{13}=-\frac{16}{65} \end{gathered}$

Compute $\sqrt{25^2-7^2}$.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{25^2-7^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(25-7)(25+7)}\\\\=\sqrt{18(32)}\\\\=\sqrt{9*2*2^5}\\\\=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 2^6}\\\\=\sqrt{(3\cdot2^3)^2}\\\\=3\cdot2^3\\\\=3\cdot8\\\\=24$

a student claims that 8 to the third power times 8 to the -5 power is greater than 1 explain whether the student is correct or n

nika2105 [10]

I think he is not correct because there is negative number so it can't be greater than one
