let cos theta = x \[\huge\rm -1 - \frac{x}{2}= \frac{-4-\sqrt{3}}{4}\] now can you slve for x ??

Nnesha (nnesha):

solve **

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=(2+√3)/2

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm that's not correct how did you get 2 at the numerator ?? :=))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiple 2 from the x to the 4 being divided?

Nnesha (nnesha):

to get rid of the fraction you would multiply both sides by 4 but first get the common denominator at left side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a minute sorry

Nnesha (nnesha):

make sense ? or maybe show ur work so i can find out the mistakes :=))

Nnesha (nnesha):

sure take ur time :=))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would move the -1 to the right ? before finding the cmd?

Nnesha (nnesha):

the easy way is to get the common denominator at left side first \[\frac{ -1 }{ 1 }- \frac{x}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it would be move to the right side?

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm no \[\huge\rm \color{reD}{-1 - \frac{x}{2}}= \frac{-4-\sqrt{3}}{4}\] first solve left side find common denominator

Nnesha (nnesha):

btw how did you get -4/4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1-2x/4=...

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm i have not idea how did you get 4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the common demoninator is 4?

Nnesha (nnesha):

lets work on left side \[\frac{ -1 }{ 1 }- \frac{x}{2}\] both denominator aren't the same so we should multiply them ignore right side for a sec :=))

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm not left hand side:common denominator isn't 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh then it would be (-2/2)-x/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

Nnesha (nnesha):

right \[\huge\rm \frac{-2-x}{2}= \frac{-4-\sqrt{3}}{4}\] now multiply both sides by 4 :=))

Nnesha (nnesha):

brb sorry gimme few mints :=))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its fine :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4-x=-4−√3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=√3

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1445187097452:dw| -2 and -x both should be multiply by 2
