If asking to simplify 2d + 18
Recall that to get the x-intercepts, we set the f(x) = y = 0, thus
![\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-4cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\implies 0=cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2} \right) \\\\\\ cos^{-1}(0)=cos^{-1}\left[ cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2} \right) \right]\implies cos^{-1}(0)=x-\cfrac{\pi }{2} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}= \begin{cases} \frac{\pi }{2}\\\\ \frac{3\pi }{2} \end{cases}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bf%28x%29%7D%7B0%7D%3D-4cos%5Cleft%28x-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cright%29%5Cimplies%200%3Dcos%5Cleft%28x-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cright%29%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Acos%5E%7B-1%7D%280%29%3Dcos%5E%7B-1%7D%5Cleft%5B%20cos%5Cleft%28x-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cright%29%20%5Cright%5D%5Cimplies%20cos%5E%7B-1%7D%280%29%3Dx-%5Ccfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Ax-%5Ccfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%3D%0A%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%0A%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Cfrac%7B3%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%0A%5Cend%7Bcases%7D)
1 pound = 16 ounces
8 * 16 = 128 ounces
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
2*(3*x-7)+18-(10)=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2 • (3x - 7) + 18) - 10 = 0
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
6x - 6 = 6 • (x - 1)
Equation at the end of step 3 :
6 • (x - 1) = 0
Step 4 :
Equations which are never true :
4.1 Solve : 6 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
4.2 Solve : x-1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
x = 1
One solution was found :
x = 1

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of segment lengths is the same for the two chords.
9(21) = x(27)
x = 189/27 . . . . . divide by 27
x = 7
