I have to solve for x how do I do this

Note: pi/4 radians is equal to 45 degrees

===========================================

To get this answer, you can use the unit circle to see that at 45 degrees or pi/4 radians, the sine and cosine value are both

You could also use your calculator to graph y = sin(x)-cos(x) to find the x intercept in the interval to find the approximate x intercept to be x = 0.70710678

Then note how

-----------------------------

Or you could do the following steps

sin(x) = cos(x)

sin^2(x) = cos^2(x)

sin^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x)

sin^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1

2sin^2(x) = 1

sin^2(x) = 1/2

sin(x) = sqrt(1/2)

sin(x) = sqrt(2)/2

Again you'll have to turn to the unit circle, or some reference sheet, to determine the x value that makes the last equation above to be true. That x value is x = pi/4 radians.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

a

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
