Answer:

x= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt( x-5) = x-11

Square each side

(sqrt( x-5))^2 = (x-11)^2

x-5 = x^2 - 22x +121

Subtract (x-5) from each side

x-5-x+5 = x^2 -22x +121 -x+5

0 = x^2 -23x +126

Factor

0 = ( x-14) ( x-9)

Using the zero product property

x-14 = 0 x-9=0

x=14 x=9

Check the solutions

sqrt( x-5) = x-11

sqrt( 14-5) = 14-11

sqrt(9) = 3

3=3

solution

sqrt( x-5) = x-11

sqrt(9-5) = 9-11

sqrt(4) =-2

2 = -2

not a solution

To solve the equation 5sin(2x)=3cosx, you should rewrite it as___.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

$5\sin(2x)=3\cos(x)$

To do so, we can rewrite the equation.

Recall the double-angle for sine:

$\sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)$

By substitution:

$5\left(2\sin(x)\cos(x)\right)=3\cos(x)$

Distribute:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)=3\cos(x)$

We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)-3\cos(x)=0$

And factor:

$\cos(x)\left(10\sin(x)-3\right)=0$

Hence, our answer is A.

*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
