2x−4=4x−5
(2x−4)+(4−4x)=(4x−5)+(4−4x)
2x−4+4−4x=4x−5+4−4x
2x−4x−4+4=4x−4x−5+4
−2x=−1

Answer: x=1/2

Much easier way to do it:
2x-4=4x-5
-2x -2x
-4=2x-5
+5 +5
1=2x
2
x= 1/2
Step By Step in words:
Step1: In order to get the x's on both sides, subtract 2x from both sides
Step2 : Now to get the x by itself, do the opposite operation of -5 and add five to both sides
Step 3: Final Step to get the x by itself, do the opposite operation of 2 times x. Divide 2x by 2 and 1 by 2
Which gives you 1/2

Answer:

See below for answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

$\frac{1}{sin\theta}=2cos\theta\: ; \: 0\leq\theta < 2\pi\\\\1=2sin\theta cos\theta\\\\1=sin2\theta\\\\\frac{\pi}{2}+2\pi n=2\theta\\ \\\frac{\pi}{4}+\pi n=\theta\\ \\\theta=\bigr\{\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{3\pi}{4},\frac{5\pi}{4},\frac{7\pi}{4}\bigr\}$

Therefore, the second option is correct.

Problem 2

$cos(2x)+1=sin(x)+2\:;\: 0\leq x < 2\pi\\\\1-2sin^2x+1=sin(x)+2\\\\-2sin^2x=sin(x)\\\\0=2sin^2x+sinx\\\\0=sinx(2sinx+1)$

$0=sinx\\\\x=\pi n\\\\x=0,\pi$

$0=2sinx+1\\\\-1=2sinx\\\\-\frac{1}{2}=sinx\\ \\x=\frac{7\pi}{6}+2\pi n,\frac{11\pi}{6}+2\pi n\\\\x=\frac{7\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6}$

Therefore, the solution set is $x=\bigr\{0,\pi,\frac{7\pi}{6},\frac{11\pi}{6}\bigr\}$ , making the second option correct.

Problem 3

$2cos^2x=-cosx\: ;\: 0^\circ\leq x < 360^\circ\\\\2cos^2x+cosx=0\\\\cosx(2cosx+1)=0$

$cosx=0\\\\x=\frac{\pi}{2}+\pi n\\ \\x=90^\circ+180n^\circ\\\\x=90^\circ,270^\circ$

$2cosx+1=0\\\\2cosx=-1\\\\cosx=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\x=\frac{2\pi}{3}+2\pi n,\frac{4\pi}{3}+2\pi n\\ \\x=120^\circ+360n^\circ,240^\circ+360n^\circ\\\\x=120^\circ,240^\circ$

Therefore, the solution set is $x=\bigr\{90^\circ,120^\circ,240^\circ,270^\circ\bigr\}$ , making the fourth option correct

Is the simplified form of 2√3 − 2√3 rational? Yes No

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

2√3 − 2√3 is equal to 0. So what we are trying to find out is if 0 is a rational number. 0 IS a ratinol number as it can be expressed as a fraction of integers.
