Find all solutions to the equation. cos2x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0

1 answer:

5 0

For cos(2x) * (2cos(x) + 1) = 0, use the double angle identity for cos(2x), which is cos^2 x - sin^2 x = cos^2 x - (1-cos^2) = 2cos^2 x - 1.
So we have (2cos^2 x - 1)(2cos x + 1) = 0. So 2cos^2 x -1 = 0 or x = 0 and 2pi.
For 2sec^2 x + tan^2 x - 3 = 0, use the identity sec^2 x = tan^2 x + 1, so we have
2(tan^2 x + 1) + tan^2 x - 3 = 0 or
<span>2tan^2 x + tan^2 x - 1 = 0 or
</span>3 tan^2 x = 1.

So x = pi/2, pi/2 + pi = 3pi/2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1 = 3 times of m∠2

m∠2 = (1/3) times of ∠1

$= \dfrac{1}{3}*72\\\\= 24$

m∠2 = 24°

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent (ln(n))/(n^2)

yawa3891 [41]

Letting n approach infinity results in the undefined "infinity over infinity."

Differentiate numerator and denominator separately, obtaining

1/n

(limit as n approaches infinity of) ------------- = 0. Series is convergent.

Answer:

1. Given

2. Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

3. Vertical angles are equal.

4. Definition of parallelogram.

5. If lines parallel, then alternate interior angles are equal.

6. ASA

7. CPCTE

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1:

The first statement is a parallelogram ABCD, which is already given in the question. So, reason 1 is: Given.

Statement 2:

BT and TD are equal because for a parallelogram, its diagonal bisect each other. Here, BD and AC are the diagonals of parallelogram ABCD. So, the diagonals bisect each other at T. Hence, $BT = TD$

Statement 3:

Angles 1 and 2 is a pair of vertical angles. A pair of vertical angles are always equal to each other.

Statement 4:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel and equal. Hence, $BC ||AD$ is because of the definition of a parallelogram.
