Question

1. In Triangle ABC the angle A is 9090{}^{\circ} and AC =x. If SinB=x what is sinC=?

Solution


We know that AC=x\mathrm{AC} = \mathrm{x}, sinB=x\sin \mathrm{B} = \mathrm{x}, A=90\mathrm{A} = 90{}^{\circ}. We can use the sine theorem:


ACsinB=BCsinAxx=BCsin90BC=1\frac {A C}{\sin B} = \frac {B C}{\sin A} \leftrightarrow \frac {x}{x} = \frac {B C}{\sin 9 0 {}^ {\circ}} \leftrightarrow B C = 1


Now, we use the Pythagorean theorem:


AB2=BC2AC2=1x2AB=1x2A B ^ {2} = B C ^ {2} - A C ^ {2} = 1 - x ^ {2} \leftrightarrow A B = \sqrt {1 - x ^ {2}}


(One must note that the same result can be obtained using the cosine theorem:


BC2=AB2+AC22ACABcosA1=AB2+x22ABAC0B C ^ {2} = A B ^ {2} + A C ^ {2} - 2 * A C * A B * \cos A \leftrightarrow 1 = A B ^ {2} + x ^ {2} - 2 * A B * A C * 0AB2=1x2AB=1x2A B ^ {2} = 1 - x ^ {2} \leftrightarrow A B = \sqrt {1 - x ^ {2}}


Using the definition of the sine function


sinC=ABBC=1x21=1x2\sin C = \frac {A B}{B C} = \frac {\sqrt {1 - x ^ {2}}}{1} = \sqrt {1 - x ^ {2}}


(One must note that sinC\sin C can be found using the sine theorem:


ABsinC=BCsinA1x2sinC=1sin90sinC=1x2\frac {A B}{\sin C} = \frac {B C}{\sin A} \leftrightarrow \frac {\sqrt {1 - x ^ {2}}}{\sin C} = \frac {1}{\sin 9 0 {}^ {\circ}} \leftrightarrow \sin C = \sqrt {1 - x ^ {2}}


Answer: sinC=1x2\sin C = \sqrt{1 - x^2}.

Question

2. -3<5-2x<7 express it with modules.

Solution

3<52x<7-3 < 5 - 2x < 7


Subtract 5


8<2x<2-8 < -2x < 2


Divide by -1


8>2x>28 > 2x > -2


Subtract 3


5>2x3>55 > 2x - 3 > -5


Rewrite the last formula as


5<2x3<5-5 < 2x - 3 < 5


By the definition of the absolute value it is equivalent to


2x3<5|2x - 3| < 5
