Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

using the identity

cos2a = 2cos²a - 1 , then

cos2a

= 2[ \frac{1}{2}(a  + \frac{1}{a}) ]² - 1

= 2 [ \frac{1}{4} (a² + \frac{1}{a^2} + 2) ] - 1

= \frac{1}{2} (a² + \frac{1}{a^2} ) + 1 - 1

= \frac{1}{2} (a² + \frac{1}{a^2} ) ← thus verified

What is the value of y if f||n<br> ?????
Elenna [48]

Answer:

y = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 18 = 2x + 12 (alternate exterior angles are congruent)

Collect like terms

4x - 18 = 2x + 12

4x - 2x = 18 + 12

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2

x = 10

y = 180 - (2x + 12) (linear pair theorem)

Plug in the value of x

y = 180 - (2(10) + 12)

y = 180 - (20 + 12)

y = 148°

3x/2 - 2 &gt; 7
KiRa [710]

<span> 3x+2/2 = 7. First, multiply 2 to both sides and you get 3x+2=14. Then, just solve using backward PEMDAS. The answer is 4. </span>

Need help solving this problem ​
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Part 1: \frac{11-x}{5} or \frac{11}{5}-\frac{x}{5}

Part 2: \frac{9}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To start things off, you must put everything on the opposite side of y so that you only have the y variable left.

In this case, put x onto the other side, making it negative since it's flipped, so you get 5y=11-x (since the x is negative you're using subtraction from 11).

Next, divide both sides by 5 to make 5y into y:

\frac{5y}{5} =\frac{11}{5}-\frac{x}{5}

y=\frac{11}{5}-\frac{x}{5}

Then in this case you turn y=f(x), but the system did it for you, so all you have to put is \frac{11}{5}-\frac{x}{5}.

For the second part you must replace x with 2 since you need to find f(2).

\frac{11-2}{5}

Your answer for part 2 is \frac{9}{5}.
