Answer:

One solution, x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-8=12

To find the solution we have to find the value of x.

to find the value of x, we have to add 8 to BOTH sides.

4x-8=12 (Why add 8? because we have to do the opposite of the sign!)

+8 +8

4x=20

Now to find X we have to ISOLATE IT.

So we take out 4, How? We do the opposite to both sides.

4/4 Cancels out

20/4 = 5

So now we know X=5

Insert in the main problem to check.

4(5)-8=12

20-8=12

12=12

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−8=12

Step 1: Add 8 to both sides.

4x−8+8=12+8

4x=20

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

x=5

When Jupiter and Earth are closest to each other, they are about 365 million miles apart. Express this distance in scientific no

SCORPION-xisa [38]

3.65 e8

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific notation e mean ‘10 raised to a particular power’. Therefore e8 is equivalent to 10 ^ 8.

We count the number of tens to the decimal point. In this case;

365000000

3.65000000

The decimal is 8 place values from the right (since this is a whole number)

4 cos²x – 1=0 What is the solution?

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

$x=\frac{\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{5\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{4\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}+\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4\text{cos}^2(x)-1=0\\4\text{cos}^2(x)=1\\$

$cos(x)=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }$

$cos(x)=\pm\frac{1}{2}$

So, when cos(x) is equal to

$\frac{1}{2} \text{ and } -\frac{1}{2}$ ?

For

$cos(x)=\frac{1}{2}$

We are talking about x = 60º and x = 300º, Quadrant I and IV, respectively. In radians:

$x=\frac{\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{5\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}+\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

For

$cos(x)=-\frac{1}{2}$

We are talking about x = 120º and x = 240º, Quadrant II and III, respectively. In radians:

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{4\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$
