Answer:

(3x+2)/(x-2)=7/5

5(3x+2)=7(x-2)

15x+10=7x-14

15x-7x=-14-10

8x=-24

X=-24/8

X=-3

Rewrite with only sin x and cos x.

Annette [7]

Option A

$\cos 3 x=\cos x-4 \cos x \sin ^{2} x$

Solution:

Given that we have to rewrite with only sin x and cos x

Given is cos 3x

$cos 3x = cos(x + 2x)$

We know that,

$\cos (a+b)=\cos a \cos b-\sin a \sin b$

Therefore,

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x \cos 2 x-\sin x \sin 2 x$ ---- eqn 1

We know that,

$\sin 2 x=2 \sin x \cos x$

$\cos 2 x=\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x$

Substituting these values in eqn 1

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x\left(\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x\right)-\sin x(2 \sin x \cos x)$ -------- eqn 2

We know that,

$\cos ^{2} x-\sin ^{2} x=1-2 \sin ^{2} x$

Applying this in above eqn 2, we get

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x\left(1-2 \sin ^{2} x\right)-\sin x(2 \sin x \cos x)$

$\begin{aligned}&\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x-2 \sin ^{2} x \cos x-2 \sin ^{2} x \cos x\\\\&\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x-4 \sin ^{2} x \cos x\end{aligned}$

$\cos (x+2 x)=\cos x-4 \cos x \sin ^{2} x$

Therefore,

$\cos 3 x=\cos x-4 \cos x \sin ^{2} x$

Option A is correct
