Here are the solutions to your trigonometry problems:

  1. Given that sin⁡θ=513\sin \theta = \frac{5}{13}, and θ\theta is acute, find the value of tan⁡θ+cos⁡θsin⁡θ\frac{\tan \theta + \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}.
  1. Find cos⁡θ\cos \theta and tan⁡θ\tan \theta.

    Since $\theta$ is acute, we use the identity $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$.
    $$
    \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{5}{13}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{25}{169} = \frac{169 - 25}{169} = \frac{144}{169}
    $$
    Since $\theta$ is acute, $\cos \theta > 0$.
    $$
    \cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{144}{169}} = \frac{12}{13}
    $$
    Now, find $\tan \theta$:
    $$
    \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{5/13}{12/13} = \frac{5}{12}
    $$
    
  2. Substitute the values into the expression tan⁡θ+cos⁡θsin⁡θ\frac{\tan \theta + \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}.

    $$
    \frac{\frac{5}{12} + \frac{12}{13}}{\frac{5}{13}}
    $$
    
  3. Simplify the expression.

    First, simplify the numerator:
    $$
    \frac{5}{12} + \frac{12}{13} = \frac{5 \times 13 + 12 \times 12}{12 \times 13} = \frac{65 + 144}{156} = \frac{209}{156}
    $$
    Now, divide by $\sin \theta$:
    $$
    \frac{\frac{209}{156}}{\frac{5}{13}} = \frac{209}{156} \times \frac{13}{5}
    $$
    Since $156 = 12 \times 13$:
    $$
    \frac{209}{12 \times 13} \times \frac{13}{5} = \frac{209}{12 \times 5} = \frac{209}{60}
    $$
    $$
    \boxed{\frac{209}{60}}
    $$
    

    2. Find xx if sin⁡5x=cos⁡4x\sin 5x = \cos 4x.

  4. Use the complementary angle identity cos⁡A=sin⁡(90∘−A)\cos A = \sin (90^\circ - A).

    $$
    \sin 5x = \sin (90^\circ - 4x)
    $$
    
  5. Equate the angles.

    $$
    5x = 90^\circ - 4x
    $$
    
  6. Solve for xx.

    $$
    5x + 4x = 90^\circ
    $$
    $$
    9x = 90^\circ
    $$
    $$
    x = \frac{90^\circ}{9}
    $$
    $$
    x = 10^\circ
    $$
    $$
    \boxed{10^\circ}
    $$
    

    3. Determine the value of θ\theta if sin⁡(20∘+θ)=cos⁡(30∘+θ)\sin (20^\circ + \theta) = \cos (30^\circ + \theta).

  7. Use the complementary angle identity cos⁡A=sin⁡(90∘−A)\cos A = \sin (90^\circ - A).

    $$
    \cos (30^\circ + \theta) = \sin (90^\circ - (30^\circ + \theta))
    $$
    $$
    \cos (30^\circ + \theta) = \sin (90^\circ - 30^\circ - \theta)
    $$
    $$
    \cos (30^\circ + \theta) = \sin (60^\circ - \theta)
    $$
    
  8. Equate the angles.

    $$
    \sin (20^\circ + \theta) = \sin (60^\circ - \theta)
    $$
    $$
    20^\circ + \theta = 60^\circ - \theta
    $$
    
  9. Solve for θ\theta.

    $$
    \theta + \theta = 60^\circ - 20^\circ
    $$
    $$
    2\theta = 40^\circ
    $$
    $$
    \theta = \frac{40^\circ}{2}
    $$
    $$
    \theta = 20^\circ
    $$
    $$
    \boxed{20^\circ}
    $$
    

    4. Given that sin⁡θ=35\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}, and θ\theta is acute, find the value of sec⁡θ+cot⁡θ\sec \theta + \cot \theta.

  10. Find cos⁡θ\cos \theta, sec⁡θ\sec \theta, and cot⁡θ\cot \theta.

    Since $\theta$ is acute, we use the identity $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$.
    $$
    \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{9}{25} = \frac{25 - 9}{25} = \frac{16}{25}
    $$
    Since $\theta$ is acute, $\cos \theta > 0$.
    $$
    \cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} = \frac{4}{5}
    $$
    Now, find $\sec \theta$:
    $$
    \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{1}{4/5} = \frac{5}{4}
    $$
    Next, find $\tan \theta$:
    $$
    \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{3/5}{4/5} = \frac{3}{4}
    $$
    Then, find $\cot \theta$:
    $$
    \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \frac{1}{3/4} = \frac{4}{3}
    $$
    
  11. Substitute the values into the expression sec⁡θ+cot⁡θ\sec \theta + \cot \theta.

    $$
    \frac{5}{4} + \frac{4}{3}
    $$
    
  12. Simplify the expression.

    $$
    \frac{5}{4} + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{5 \times 3 + 4 \times 4}{4 \times 3} = \frac{15 + 16}{12} = \frac{31}{12}
    $$
    $$
    \boxed{\frac{31}{12}}
    $$
