For this case we have the following equation:

$8x + 5 = 37$

We pose a problem associated with the equation:

Maria wants to raise $37 to buy a dress. She has raised $5. Also, working as a babysitter on weekends, you get $8 per hour. So:

x: Represents the amount of hours Maria must work to raise the $37 considering she has saved $5.

Thus, we have the following equation:

$8x + 5 = 37\\8x = 37-5\\8x = 32\\x = \frac {32} {8}\\x = 4$

Answer:

Maria must work at least 4 hours on the weekend

It is tangent to the circle because angle PAB is a 90 degree angle. (verify using the Pythagorean theorem)

Solve the equation 2 sec² x = 3 - tan x for the domain 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°

vodka [1.7K]

$2 \sec^2 x = 3- \tan x \\\\\implies 2(1 +\tan^2 x) = 3- \tan x \\\\\implies 2 + 2 \tan^2 x +\tan x -3 =0\\\\\implies 2 \tan^2 x + \tan x -1 =0\\\\\implies 2u^2 + u -1 =0~~~ ;[\text{set} \tan x = u]\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{1-4\cdot 2 \cdot (-1)}}{2(2)}\\\\\implies u =\dfrac{-1 \pm\sqrt{9}}{4}\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{-1 \pm 3}{4}\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac 12~~ \text{or} ~~u =\dfrac{-4}{4} =-1\\\\$

$\implies \tan x = \dfrac 12 ~~ \text{or} ~~ \tan x =-1~~~ ;[\text{Substitute back u =tan x}]\\\\\text{Now,}~ \\\\\tan x = -1,\\\\\implies x = n\pi - \dfrac{\pi}4\\\\\\\text{For interval,}~ [0,2\pi) \\\\x = \dfrac{3\pi}4, \dfrac{7\pi}4\\\\\text{In degrees,}~ x = 135^{\circ}, x =315^{\circ}\\\\\tan x = \dfrac 12\\\\\implies x = n\pi + \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right)\\\\\text{For interval} ~[0,2\pi),\\\\$

$x=\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right), \left[\pi +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\text{in degrees,} ~~x=\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right), \left[180^{\circ} +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\\\\\text{Combine all solutions:}\\\\x=\dfrac{3\pi}4, \dfrac{7\pi}4, \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right), \left[\pi +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\\$
