Answer:
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So firstly, you want to distribute. It'll make your life much easier.
-2x + 8 = 3
-2x = -5 (subtracting 8 from both sides)
x = 5/2 (dividing both sides by -2 to obtain x)
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Its B.
Step-by-step explanation:
It said so.
The formula
a(n) = 2 - 5(n-1)
is in the form
a(n) = a1 + d(n-1)
where
a1 = first term = 2
d = -5 = common difference
The first term is carried over to the recursive formula. We start with a1 = 2. The next term after that is found by subtracting 5 from the previous term. So
second term = (first term) - 5
third term = (second term) - 5
and so on
The recursive step would be
a(n) = a(n-1)-5
So that's why the answer is choice C
Answer:
-sinx
Step-by-step explanation:
a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x
so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx
it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx
knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx
(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)
now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....
cos^2x
---------------------
(sin^2x - 1)/sinx
notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x
so now it becomes:
cos^2x
--------------
-cos^2x/sinx
because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it
cos^2x sinx
---------- * ----------------
1 - cos^2x
because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1
now the answer is -sinx
