Find x, the unknown side.

A) 4.6
C) 4.8
B) 5.4
D)3.5

Actually Welcome to the concept of Trigonometry.

==> here lets take, cos 33 = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

==> Cos 33° = x/5.5

hence, x = (5.5) * Cos 33°

==> x = 0.83 * 5.5

==> x = 4.61 units

hence, x = 4.6 units

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x
