Answer:

Answer:

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n                      

Step-by-step explanation:

8 cos^2 x + 4 cos x-4 = 0

Divide by 4

2 cos^2 x +  cos x-1 = 0

Let u = cos x

2 u^2 +u -1 =0

Factor

(2u -1) ( u+1) = 0

Using the zero product property

2u-1 =0    u+1 =0

u = 1/2      u = -1

Substitute cosx for u

cos x = 1/2    cos x = -1

Take the inverse cos on each side

cos ^-1(cos x) = cos ^-1(1/2)   cos ^-1( cos x) =cos ^-1( -1)

x = pi/2 + 2 pi n                            x = pi + 2 pi n   where n is an integer

x = 5pi /3 + 2 pi n

How do you find the answer to this?

Answers

Answer:

  D)  {-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational expression is "not defined" when its denominator is zero. Hence to find values of x that make the expression "not defined," you solve the equation ...

  denominator = 0

  2x +2 = 0 . . . . . . put the actual denominator into the equation

  x + 1 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2

  x = -1 . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The expression is "not defined" for x in the set {-1}.

What is the value of sin(−θ) ?Let cos(−θ)=−3/5 and tanθ>0 .

A. -4/5
B. 4/3
C. -3/5
D. 4/5

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine of a right triangle is the adjacent over the hypotenuse. If the cosine is -3/5 then it must be a right triangle with sides 3, 4, & 5 since this is a Pythagorean triple. This means the sin will be -4/5. We know its negative because the tangent is positive so this is the 3rd quadrant where both Sine and Cosine are negative.
