Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2 + -6(1 + -1x) = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

2 + (1 * -6 + -1x * -6) = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

2 + (-6 + 6x) = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

Combine like terms: 2 + -6 = -4

-4 + 6x = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

Reorder the terms:

-4 + 6x = 6 + -4(-2 + -1x)

-4 + 6x = 6 + (-2 * -4 + -1x * -4)

-4 + 6x = 6 + (8 + 4x)

Combine like terms: 6 + 8 = 14

-4 + 6x = 14 + 4x

Solving

-4 + 6x = 14 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 6x + -4x = 14 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

-4 + 2x = 14 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-4 + 2x = 14 + 0

-4 + 2x = 14

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 2x = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 2x = 14 + 4

2x = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18

2x = 18

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 9

Simplifying

x = 9

Write each expression as an algebraic (nontrigonometric) expression in u, u > 0.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the trignometric expression:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)\text{ where } u>0$

As an algebraic equation.

First, we can focus on the inner expression. Let θ equal the expression:

$\displaystyle \theta=\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)$

Take the secant of both sides:

$\displaystyle \sec(\theta)=\frac{u}{10}$

Since secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse side to the adjacent side, this means that the opposite side is:

$\displaystyle o=\sqrt{u^2-10^2}=\sqrt{u^2-100}$

By substitutition:

$\displaystyle= \sin(2\theta)$

Using an double-angle identity:

$=2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)$

We know that the opposite side is √(u² -100), the adjacent side is 10, and the hypotenuse is u. Therefore:

$\displaystyle =2\left(\frac{\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u}\right)\left(\frac{10}{u}\right)$

Simplify. Therefore:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0$
