Answer:

11 73/78 ≈ 11.9359 (not 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

The similarity statement tells us ...

QS/QR = FG/FH

QS = QR·FG/FH

13x -14 = 154(55/60) = 847/6

Adding 14 = 84/6, we have ...

13x = 931/6

x = 931/78 = 11 73/78 . . . . . . . divide by 13

Comment on the question

You get a nice integer answer for x if the similarity statement is written ...

∆FGH ~ ∆QRS . . . . . . . note the letters are in alphabetical order

Then you have ...

QS/QR = FH/FG

13x -14 = 154(60/55) = 168

13x = 182

x = 14

This nice answer to a nice similarity statement leads us to believe the question has an error in it.

We suspect you are expected to provide x=14 as the answer, even though that is NOT the answer to the question as written. You may want to discuss this with your teacher.

Given that tan^2 theta=3/8,what is the value of sec theta?

algol [13]

Answer:

The value of SecФ is $\pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for trigonometric function :

tan²Ф = $\frac{3}{8}$

Or, tanФ = $\sqrt{\frac{3}{8} }$

∵ tanФ = $\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

So, $\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{3}{8} }$

So, Hypotenuse² = perpendicular² + base²

or, Hypotenuse² = ( $\sqrt{3}$ )² + ( $\sqrt{8}$ )²

Or, Hypotenuse² = 3 + 8 = 11

Or, Hypotenuse = ( $\sqrt{11}$ )

Now SecФ = $\frac{Hypotenuse}{Base}$

or, SecФ = $\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{8}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{11}{8} }$

Second Method

Sec²Ф - tan²Ф = 1

Or, Sec²Ф = 1 + tan²Ф

or, Sec²Ф = 1 + $\frac{3}{8}$

Or, Sec²Ф = $\frac{11}{8}$

Or, SecФ = $\pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}}$

Hence The value of SecФ is $\pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}}$ . Answer

Lim. √2x -√3x-a/√x-√a x approaches a

Ludmilka [50]

Answer: $\sqrt{2}a-\sqrt{3}a-2\sqrt{a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\lim _{x\to \:a}\left(\sqrt{2}x-\sqrt{3}x-\frac{a}{\sqrt{x}}-\sqrt{a}\right)$

$=\sqrt{2}a-\sqrt{3}a-\frac{a}{\sqrt{a}}-\sqrt{a}$

$=\sqrt{2}a-\sqrt{3}a-2\sqrt{a}$
