Answer:

(2,-3) is not a solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if a point is a solution to the equation, we substitute the point into the equation. If it is true, then it is a solution, if it is false, then it is not.

y = 4x -5

-3 = 4(2) -5

-3 = 8-5

-3 = 3

This is false , so (2,-3) is not a solution to the equation

<h3>Answer: No it is not a solution </h3>

Here is why:

The ordered pair (2,-3) means x = 2 and y = -3 pair up together

Let's plug these x and y values into the equation to get...

y = 4x - 5

-3 = 4*2 - 5 .... replace with 2, replace y with -3

-3 = 8 - 5

-3 = 3 .... we end up with a false equation

Since we get a false equation at the end, this means the original equation is false too. So y = 4x-5 is false when (x,y) = (2,-3) meaning that this point is not on the line. So this point is not a solution.

Answer:

C) π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area under the curve from x=-π/2 to x=k is 3 times the area under the curve from x=k to x=π/2.

$\int\limits^k_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} {cos\ x} \, dx = 3\int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k {cos\ x} \, dx\\sin\ x\ |^{k}_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} = 3\ sin\ x\ |^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k\\(sin\ k - (-1)) = 3\ (1 - sin\ k)\\sin\ k + 1 = 3 - 3\ sin\ k\\4\ sin\ k = 2\\sin\ k = \frac{1}{2}\\k = \frac{\pi}{6}$
