What is x for negative 8(x plus 2 ) plus 5x equals negative 4

1 answer:

4 0

- 8 ( x + 2 ) + 5x = - 4

Start by distributing.....

- 8 x - 16 + 5x = - 4

Combine like terms.....

- 3 x - 16 = - 4

Add 16 to both sides.....

- 3x = 12

Divide both sides by -3 to get x by its self.....

x = - 4 is the answer

A quadrant is the area that is divided into the x and y axes

The quadrants in which tan $\theta$ and cot $\theta$ are positive are I and III

<h3>How to determine the quadrants</h3>

The tangent of an angle is calculated as:

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$

While the cotangent of the angle is calculated as:

$\cot(\theta) = \frac{cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}$

The above equations mean that:

For the tangent and cotangent of an angle to be positive, then the sine and the cosine of the angle must have the same sign.

In the first quadrant, the sine and the cosine angles are positive.
In the third quadrant, the sine and the cosine angles are negative.

Hence, the quadrants in which tan $\theta$ and cot $\theta$ are positive are I and III

What do the graphs of sine and cosine have in common with the swinging you see?

lilavasa [31]

The relationship between the cosine and sine graphs is that the cosine is the same as the sine — only it’s shifted to the left by 90 degrees, or π/2. The trigonometry equation that represents this relationship is: cosx= sin (x+π/2)

The graphs of the sine and cosine functions illustrate a property that exists for several pairings of the different trig functions. The property represented here is based on the right triangle and the two acute or complementary angles in a right triangle. The identities that arise from the triangle are called the cofunctionidentities.
