Answer:

  x ∈ {π/6, π/2, 5π/6, 7π/6, 3π/2, 11π/6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide by 6 and use some identities to rewrite this as ...

  2tan(x)/(1-tan(x)²) -1/tan(x) = 0

  2tan(x)² -(1 -tan(x)²) = 0 . . . . . . . . . multiply* by tan(x)(1 -tan(x)²)

  3tan(x)² = 1

  tan(x) = ±1/√3   ⇒   x = {π/6, 5π/6, 7π/6, 11π/6}

__

Interestingly, if we use different identities, we can rewrite it as ...

  2cot(x)/(cot(x)² -1) -cot(x) = 0

  cot(x)(3 -cot(x)²) = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by (cot(x)² -1)

In addition to the zeros found above, this equation also has solutions where cot(x) = 0. That is ...

  x = {π/2, 3π/2}

_____

Usually, the first method shown would give all the solutions. Fortunately, we had a graph of the function, so we could see that the first set of solutions found was not complete. (This is one reason I like to use a graphing calculator for guidance on problems like this.)

_____

* In the first solution, we multiplied by the denominator tan(x)(1 -tan(x)²). It was multiplying by tan(x) that made the π/2, 3π/2 solutions disappear. Had we kept 1/tan(x) as a numerator factor of cot(x), we would have had the same result as seen in the second approach.

What is the inverse of the function below?<br><br> f(x) = 2^x + 6
Helen [10]

The inverse of this function would be f(x) = \frac{Log(x - 6)}{Log2}.



You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.



f(x) = 2^{x} - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x



x = 2^{f(x)} - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides



x + 6 = 2^{f(x)} -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent



Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2



\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2} = f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.



f(x) = \frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}



And that would be your new inverse function.

The area of the triangle below is ? Sq. Units <br> A. 66<br> B . 33<br> C . 50 <br> D . 25
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply the area of triangle formula :

area =  \frac{1}{2}  \times base \times height

let \: base = 22 \\ let \: height = 3

area =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 22 \times 3

area = 11 \times 3

area = 33 \:  {units}^{2}

Two angles are supplementary. One angle has a measure of 44 degrees. What is the measure of the other angle?
xxMikexx [17]
If A and B are supplementary angles, then:
A+B=180º


In this case:
A=44º

44º+B=180º
B=180º-44º=136º

Anser: the measure of the other angle is 136º
