Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

if f(x) = -17

then we can type:

- 3 x + 7 = -17

solving for "x", subtract 7 from both sides

- 3 x = - 17 - 7

- 3 x = - 24

divide both sides by -3 to isolate "x"

x = -24 / (-3)

x = 8

If x degree and 115 degree are co exterior angles find the vaule of x degree

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

An exterior angle form a linear pair with an interior angle.

A linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees

180-115 = 65

In the triangle pictured, let A, B, C be the angles at the three vertices, and let a,b,c be the sides opposite those angles. Acc

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Consider the following:

$A=\frac{\pi}{4}=45°\\\\B=\frac{\pi}{3}=60°$

Use sine rule,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sinB}{\sin A}
\\\\=\frac{\sin{\frac{\pi}{3}}
}{\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\\\\=\frac{[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Again consider,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sin{B}}{\sin{A}}
\\\\\sin{B}=\frac{b}{a}\times \sin{A}\\\\\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin {A}\\\\B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Thus, the angle B is function of A is, $B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Now find $\frac{dB}{dA}$

Differentiate implicitly the function $\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}$ with respect to A to get,

$\cos {B}.\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\cos A\\\\\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos A}{\cos B}$

When $A=\frac{\pi}{4},B=\frac{\pi}{3}$ , the value of $\frac{dB}{dA}$ is,

$\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos {\frac{\pi}{4}}}{\cos {\frac{\pi}{3}}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3}$

In general, the linear approximation at x= a is,

$f(x)=f'(x).(x-a)+f(a)$

Here the function $f(A)=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

At $A=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$f(\frac{\pi}{4})=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}]\\\\=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]\\\\\=\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\\\\=\frac{\pi}{3}$
