We know that the line is tangent at the point (2,8)

The derivative of the function at x=2 is

$f'(x) = 6-2x \implies f'(2) = 6-4=2$

So, the tangent line passes through the point (2,8) and has slope 2. The equation is

$y-8 = 2(x-2) \iff y = 2x+4$

This line crosses the x axis where y=0:

$0 = 2x+4 \iff 2x = -4 \iff x = -2$

Hi, teacher I was absent these days and I didn’t understand anything about this lesson and I need help this is not count as a te

Given:

There are given that the cos function:

$cos210^{\circ}=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Explanation:

To find the value, first, we need to use the half-angle formula:

So,

From the half-angle formula:

$cos(\frac{\theta}{2})=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1+cos\theta}{2}}$

Then,

Since 105 degrees is the 2nd quadrant so cosine is negative

Then,

By the formula:

$\begin{gathered} cos(105^{\circ})=cos(\frac{210^{\circ}}{2}) \\ =-\sqrt{\frac{1+cos(210)}{2}} \end{gathered}$

Then,

Put the value of cos210 degrees into the above function:

So,

$\begin{gathered} cos(105^{\circ})=-\sqrt{\frac{1+cos(210)}{2}} \\ cos(105^{\operatorname{\circ}})=-\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}} \\ cos(105^{\circ})=-\sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4}} \\ cos(105^{\circ})=-\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{2} \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Hence, the value of the cos(105) is shown below:

$cos(105^{\operatorname{\circ}})=-\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{2}$
