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}

In January. The temperature in Fargo, North Dakota is -2 F. On the same day, the temperature in Cheyenne, Wyoming was 1 F. Write
zaharov [31]

Answer:

(a) 1 > -2 or -2 < 1

(b) 2 > 1 or 1 < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

N = -2F --- North Dakota

C = 1F --- Cheyenne, Wyoming

Solving (a): Inequality to compare both temperatures

From the given temperatures, we can conclude that:

C > N or N < C

Because

1 > -2 i.e. 1 is greater than -2

or

-2 < 1 i.e. -2 is less than 1

Solving (b): Inequality to compare the absolute values of the temperatures

We have:

N = -2F

C = 1F

The absolute values are:

|N| = |-2|

|N| =2

|C| = |1|

|C| = 1

By comparison:

|N| > |C| or |C| < |N|

Because

2 > 1 i.e. 2 is greater than 1

or

1 < 2 i.e. 1 is less than 2
