Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

3^(x−5) = 9

Rewrite 9 and 3^2

3^(x−5) = 3^2

Since the bases are the same, the exponents have to be the same

x-5 = 2

Add 5 to each side

x-5+5 =2+5

x = 7

If 15% of x is 42, what is x?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x=280

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 15% × x = 42

or,

100

× x = 42

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 15,

we have x = 42 ×

100

x = 280

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 42×100÷15, which will give you the answer.

Given csc A= 37/12 and that angle A is in Quadrant I, find the exact value of sec A in

vredina [299]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the pic of how this would be set up in order to determine what it is you are looking for. The angle is set in QI, and since csc A is the reciprocal of sin, the ratio is hypotenuse over side opposite. Solve for the missing side using Pythagorean's Theorem:

$37^2=12^2+b^2$ and

1369 = 144 + b² and

1225 = b² so

b = 35

The sec ratio is the reciprocal of cos, so if cos is adjacent over hypotenuse, the sec is hypotenuse over adjacent, which is 37/35
