Answer:

$5x + 2 = 3x + 4(2x - 1) \\ 5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4 \\ 3x + 8x - 5x = 2 + 4 \\ 6x = 6 \\ \boxed{x = 1}$

9u2v and which term are like terms? A.6u2, B.9uv2, C.15u2v, D.13u2v2

irina1246 [14]

It is essential that you use the symbol " ^ " to denote exponention. See the following changes I have made.

9u^2v and which term or terms are like terms? 15u^2v. Why? because both have "u^2" in them.

Simplify the expression cos x cot x+ sin x please select the best answer from the choices provided a.0, b.csc x, c. Tan x, d sec

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

$cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}$

$cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x$

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

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

Solving for $cos^2 x$ we got $cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x$ and replacing this we got:

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

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

$csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x$

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression given:

$cos x cot x + sin x$

We know from math properties that the definition for cot is $cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}$

If we use this definition we got:

$cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x$

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

Now we can use the following identity:

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

Solving for $cos^2 x$ we got $cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x$ and replacing this we got:

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

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

$csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x$

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Michelle is building a rectangular landing strip for airplanes .She has material to cover 1/1,500 of a square mile. The landing

ANEK [815]

I think that the missing word here is:
"with the amount of the material that Michelle has"

Let's say that her landing strip is x miles long, then its area would be:

$\frac{1}{6} *x$

We also know how big it is:

$\frac{1}{6} *x= \frac{1}{1 500}$

now, let's multiply both sides by 6:
$\frac{6}{6} *x= \frac{6}{1 500}$
$1 *x= \frac{3}{750}$
$x= \frac{1}{250}$

So the answer is that it would be $x= \frac{1}{250}$ miles wide
