Solve 2 cot x = csc^2 x symbolically on the interval (0,2pi).

x=pi/4, 5pi/4

Step-by-step explanation:

cot x = cos x / sin x, csc x = 1/sin x, so we have 2 cos x / sin x = 1/ sin^2 x. multiply both sides by sin^2 x to get 2 cos x * sin x = 1, divide both sides by 2 to get cos x sin x = 1/2, this would work for angles pi/4 and 5pi/4 (3pi/4 and 7pi/4 would make cos x sin x = -1/2) since cos x = sin x = sqrt(2)/2

me! what did you put for this question?

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
