From the double-angle identity,

cos2x=2*sinx*cosx

we can rewritte our given equation as:

4sinxcosx-2cosx=0

By factoring 2cosx on the left hand side, we have

2cosx(2sinx-1)=0

This equation has 2 solutions when

\begin{gathered} cosx=0\text{ ...\lparen A\rparen} \\ and \\ 2sinx-1=0\text{ ...\lparen B\rparen} \end{gathered}

From equation (A), we obtain

x=\frac{\pi}{2}\text{ or }\frac{3\pi}{2}

and from equation (B), we have

\begin{gathered} sinx=\frac{1}{2} \\ which\text{ gives} \\ x=\frac{\pi}{6}\text{ or }\frac{5\pi}{6} \end{gathered}

On the other hand, we can find one more solution from the original equation by substituting x=0, that is,

\begin{gathered} 2ccos(2\times0)-2cos0=0 \\ which\text{ gives} \\ 2\times1-2\times1=0 \\ so\text{ 0=0} \end{gathered}

then, x=0 is another solution. In summary, we have obtained the following solutions:

\begin{gathered} x=0 \\ x=\frac{\pi}{2}\text{or}\frac{3\pi}{2}\text{ and } \\ x=\frac{\pi}{6}\text{or}\frac{5\pi}{6} \end{gathered}

However, the intersection of the last set is empty. So the unique solution is x=0 as we can corroborate on the following picture:

Therefore, the solution set is: {0}

Find the point that splits segment AB in half if point A is located at (4,3) and point B is located at
musickatia [10]

Answer:

(1, 4.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The required point is at the midpoint of AB

Use the midpoint formula

Given A(4, 3) and B(- 2, 6 ), then

midpoint = [ 0.5(4 - 2), 0.5(3 + 6) ] = (1, 4.5 )

Describe a scenario where the function value exists at x=c, but the limit does not exist.
Vikki [24]

The scenario can be described using a piecewise function like:

f(x) = 1/x                  if  x < c.

f(x) = x                    if   x = c

f(x) = 1/(x + 73)       if x > c.

<h3>When the value exists but the limit does not?</h3>

Remember that the limit only exists if the limit from left and the limit from the right give the same value.

Then, we can just define a piecewise function of the form:

f(x) = 1/x                  if  x < c.

f(x) = x                    if   x = c

f(x) = 1/(x + 73)       if x > c.

Clearly, this is not a continuous function.

Notice that:

f(c) = c.\\\\ \lim_{x \to c^{-}} f(x) = 1/c\\\\ \lim_{x \to c^{+}} f(x) = 1/(c + 73)

So the limits from left and right are different, then:

\lim_{x \to c^{}} f(x)

Does not exist.

Two people are 100 feet apart on opposite sides of a tree. The angles of elevation from the people to the top of the tree are 30
cricket20 [7]
We need to solve for the height of the tree given two angles and distance between the two observers. See attached drawing for a better understanding of the problem.
We derive to equations using SOH CAH TOA such as below:
sin30 = h / x
sin 45 = h / (100-x)

sin 45 (100-x) = xsin30 
70.71 - 0.71x = 0.5x
70.71 = 1.21 x
x = 58.44

Solving for h, we have:
h = xsin30
h = 58.44 sin30
h = 29.22

The height of the tree is 29.22 feet.
