Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cos (x/2)=cos x+1

cos (x/2)=2cos ²(x/2)

2 cos²(x/2)-cos (x/2)=0

cos (x/2)[2 cos (x/2)-1]=0

cos (x/2)=0=cos π/2,cos (3π/2)=cos (2nπ+π/2),cos(2nπ+3π/2)

x/2=2nπ+π/2,2nπ+3π/2

x=4nπ+π,4nπ+3π

n=0,1,2,...

x=π,3π

or x=180°,540°,...

180°∈[0,360]

so x=180°

or

2cos(x/2)-1=0

cos (x/2)=1/2=cos60,cos (360-60)=cos 60,cos 300=cos (360n+60),cos (360n+300)

x/2=360n+60,360n+300

x=720n+120,720n+300

n=0,1,2,...

x=120,300,840,1020,...

only 120° and 300° ∈[0,360°]

Hence x=120°,180°,300°

Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring or Quadratic Formula.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 3x - 10. = 0

x2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0

(x2 + 2x) (-5x - 10) = 0

x (x + 2) - 5 (x + 2) = 0

(x - 5) (x + 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0 x + 2 = 0

x = 5 or x = - 2.
