Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

since 75 is half of 150, we can use the half angle formula of cos defined as: cos(\frac{\theta}{2}) = \sqrt{\frac{1+cos(\theta)}{2}}\\ where theta=150

So plugging in the values we get:

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{1+cos(150)}{2}}

Now using the unit circle, we can solve for cos(150)

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}\\

Now multiply the 1 by 2/2 to combine the numerator into one fraction

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}\\

Combine the numerator into one fraction

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}\\

Keep, change, flip

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2}*\frac{1}{2}}

Multiply:
cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4}

We can distribute the square root across the division:

\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}

Simplify the denominator

\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{2}

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.
