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)
Answer:
(b)0.56
(c)0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
P(Ben Pass) =0.8
Therefore: P(Ben fails)=1-0.8 =0.2
P(Tom Pass) =0.7
Therefore: P(Tom fails)=1-0.7 =0.3
See attached for the completed tree diagram
(b)Probability that both will pass
P(both will pass)=P(Ben pass and Tom pass)
=P(Ben pass) X P(Tom pass)
=0.8 X 0.7
=0.56
(c)The probability that only one of them will pass
Since either Tom or Ben can pass, we have:
P(only one of them will pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails OR Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails)+P(Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=(0.8 X 0.3) + (0.2 X 0.7)
=0.24 + 0.14
=0.38
Step 1
<u>Find the value of TS</u>
we know that
if PQ is parallel to RS. then triangles TRS and TPQ are similar
so

solve for TS

we have


substitute

Step 2
<u>Find the value of SQ</u>
we know that

we have


substitute

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the value of SQ is 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x²+15x+9=0
divide by -3
2x²-5x-3=0
2x²+x-6x-3=0
x(2x+1)-3(2x+1)=0
(2x+1)(x-3)=0
either x=-1/2
or x=3
If it bisect, then using the Line Bisector Theorem, it must be equal.
So x+6=4x-21
get like terms on 1 side
x+6=4x-21
-x. +21
27= 3x
x=9
plug the x in
CD= 9+6
CD=15
