Answer: Option a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominator equal to zero and solve for x:
Factor the quadratic equation. Find two number whose sum is -1 and whose product is -2. Then:
Then, as you can see the value x=2 makes the denominator equal to zero and the division by zero does not exist. Therefore you can conclude that the function shown in the problem is not defined at x=2
The answer is the option a.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A number written in scientific notation has the following form:
Where is is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10, and b is an integer.
2. The negative exponent indicates the number of places the decimal point must be moved to the left to obtain the number as a decimal number.
3. Keeping this on mind, you can know that: if the exponent of a number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 5 places to the left and another number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 2 places to the left, then the first number is smaller than the second one.
4. Therefore, you can arrange the numbers given in the problem as following:
Answer:
θ = (60° )
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the identity
sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ sin²x = 1 - cos²x
Given
cos²θ - sin²θ = 2 - 5cosθ
cos²θ - (1 - cos²θ) = 2 - 5cosθ
cos²θ - 1 + cos²θ = 2 - 5cosθ
2cos²θ - 1 = 2 - 5cosθ ( subtract 2 - 5cosθ from both sides )
2cos²θ + 5cosθ - 3 = 0 ← in standard form
(cosθ + 3)(2cosθ - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for θ
cosθ + 3 = 0
cosθ = - 3 ← not possible as - 1 ≤ cosθ ≤ 1
2cosθ - 1 = 0
cosθ = , so
θ = (
) =
( or 60° )
