Over the interval [0,2pi), what are the solutions to cos(2x) = cos(x)? check all that apply​
kykrilka [37]

\cos(2x)  =  \cos(x)

Solution (1)

2x = x + 2k\pi

2x - x = 2k\pi

x = 2k\pi

for k=0 / for k=1 / for k=-1

x=0 / x=2π / x=-2π

acc / acc / rej

solution (2)

2x =  - x  + 2k\pi

2x + x = 2k\pi

3x = 2k\pi

x =  \frac{2k\pi}{3}

for k=0 / for k=1 / for k=-1

x=0 / x=2π/3 / x=-2π/3

acc / acc / rej

Note that i'm trying values of K which make the answer belong to our interval;

So our solution which i will represent as a set is;

S € {0,2π/3,2π}

Two tapes, red and green, with lengths of 415 feet and 780 feet respectively are to be cut into pieces of equal length without r
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The greatest possible length of the pieces is 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Red = 415 feet

Green = 780 feet

Find the greatest possible length of the pieces.

Find the Highest common factor

415 = 1, 5, 83, 415

780 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 15, 20, 26, 30, 39, 52, 60, 65, 78, 130, 156, 195, 260, 390 and 780

The Highest common factor of 415 and 780 is 5

The greatest possible length of the pieces is 5 feet

Red = 415/5

= 83 pieces

Green = 780/5

= 156 pieces
