Answer:

A = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by adding 5 to each side. This becomes A = -7. To check your work plug -7 in for A.

-7 - 5 = -12

-12 = -12

This is true so -7 is the correct answer.

Solve the following equation; domain 0< x < 360; 3 cot x + sqrt 3 = 0

kondaur [170]

ANSWER

$x =120 \degree \: or \: 300 \degree$

EXPLANATION

We want to solve the trigonometric equation

$3 \cot(x) + \sqrt{3} = 0$

We group like terms to obtain,

$3\cot(x) = - \sqrt{3}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get,

$\cot(x) = - \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{3}$

We can reciprocate both sides to get,

$\tan(x) = - \frac{3}{ \sqrt{3} }$

We simplify the right hand side to get,

$\tan(x) = - \sqrt{3}$

Since the tangent ratio is negative, it implies that it is either in the second quadrant or fourth quadrant.

In the second quadrant,

$x = 180 \degree - arctan( \sqrt{3})$

$x = 180 \degree - 60 \degree = 120 \degree$

In the fourth quadrant,

$x = 360 \degree - arctan( \sqrt{3})$

$x = 360 \degree - 60 \degree$

$x = 300 \degree$

An older toilet uses 27 l per flush, whereas a replacement toilet uses only 6 l per flush. if you flush the toilet four times pe

ipn [44]

Find out how many liters are used in the old toilet in a year;

4×27= 108 l (in a day)
365×108= 39420 liters (in a year)

Find out how many liters are used in the new toilet;

4×6=24 (in a day)
24×365=8760 l (in a year)

Find the water saved; 39420-8760
= 30660 l saved.

Hope I helped :)

What is the value of the expression "six less than the quotient of a number and two, increased by 10" when n = 3?

Natalka [10]

Answer: let the number be n

so we have (n/2+10)-6

then we have 11.5-6 which is 5.5.
