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.

Solve the following system by graphing.<br> Y =<br> 2 + 5<br> y = -x-1
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5 = -x  - 1

3x + 5 = -1

3x = -6

x = -2

y = 2 - 1

y = 1

(-2, 1)

Anne-marienhas saved 9 dollars for a new coat that is 1/6 as much money as she needs how much does the coat cost
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Cost of the coat = $54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

She saved = $ 9

To Find:

Cost of the coat = ?

Solution:

Let the price of coat be x

She saved $9

and according to given condition it is 1/6 of the total money she needs for buying coat

by this we have

\frac{1}{6}*x = 9

Multiplying both sides by 6

\frac{1}{6}*x*6 = 9*6

it becomes

x = 9*6

x = $54

As x is the amount she needs

so

Cost of the coat = $54
