Which expression is equivalent to 1/3b+2/3b−5/6(b+1)?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

First convert -5/6(b+1) to -5/6b-5/6 which looks like:
1/3b+2/3b-5/6b-5/6
second add 1/3b+2/3b=3/3b, convert to 6/6b so:
6/6b-5/6b-5/6
subtract 6/6b-5/6b = 1/6b so:
1/6b-5/6 is the answer

Fill in Sin, Cos, and tan ratio for angle x. <br> Sin X = 4/5 (28/35 simplified)

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Given: $\sin(x) = (4/5)$ .

Assuming that $0 < x < 90^{\circ}$ , $\cos(x) = (3/5)$ while $\tan(x) = (4/3)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean identity $\sin^{2}(x) + \cos^{2}(x) = 1$ .

Assuming that $0 < x < 90^{\circ}$ , $0 < \cos(x) < 1$ .

Rearrange the Pythagorean identity to find an expression for $\cos(x)$ .

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

Given that $0 < \cos(x) < 1$ :

$\begin{aligned} &\cos(x) \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \sin^{2}(x)} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2}} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} \\ &= \frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, $\tan(x)$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \tan(x) \\ &= \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} \\ &= \frac{(4/5)}{(3/5)} \\ &= \frac{4}{3}\end{aligned}$ .
