Answer:
<em>We</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>say</em><em> </em><em>that</em>
<em> </em>3x + x + 8 = 32
<em>So</em><em>:</em><em> </em>
3x + x + 8 = 32
4x = 32 - 8
4x = 24
x = 24/4
<em><u>x</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>6</u></em>
The bottom one
That should be correct!!!
I'm only going to alter the left hand side. The right side will stay the same the entire time
I'll use the identity tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) and cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)
I'll also use sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)cos(y)-sin(x)sin(y)
So with that in mind, this is how the steps would look:
tan(x+pi/2) = -cot x
sin(x+pi/2)/cos(x+pi/2) = -cot x
(sin(x)cos(pi/2)+cos(x)sin(pi/2))/(cos(x)cos(pi/2)-sin(x)sin(pi/2)) = -cot x
(sin(x)*0+cos(x)*1)/(cos(x)*0-sin(x)*1) = -cot x
(0+cos(x))/(-sin(x)-0) = -cot x
(cos(x))/(-sin(x)) = -cot x
-cot x = -cot x
Identity is confirmed
