Solve. (x-4)²=5 PLEASE HELP

Mathematics
1 answer:
goldenfox [79]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-4)^2=5

(x-4)(x-4)=5

x(x-4)-4(x-4)=5

distribute

x^2-4x-4x+16=5

combine like terms

x^2-8x+16=5

move terms to the left and combine

x^2-8x+11=0

use the quadratic formula and simplify

x=-(-8)+/-2 to the square roots of 5 over 2

separate and solve

x=4+ square root of 5

x=4- square root of 5

ANSWER: x=4+/- square root of 5

Lim x→π/2 1-sinx/cot^2x<br>any genious help please ​
Simora [160]

Rewrite the limand as

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / (cos²(<em>x</em>) / sin²(<em>x</em>))

… = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / cos²(<em>x</em>)

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(<em>x</em>) + cos²(<em>x</em>) = 1

Then

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / (1 - sin²(<em>x</em>))

Factorize the denominator; it's a difference of squares, so

1 - sin²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Cancel the common factor of 1 - sin(<em>x</em>) in the numerator and denominator:

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = sin²(<em>x</em>) / (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Now the limand is continuous at <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/2, so

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{1-\sin(x)}{\cot^2(x)}=\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{\sin^2(x)}{1+\sin(x)}=\frac{\sin^2\left(\frac\pi2\right)}{1+\sin\left(\frac\pi2\right)}=\boxed{\frac12}
