12x^2-4x-5=0

12x^2+6x-10x-5=0

6x(2x+1)-5(2x+1)=0

(6x-5)(2x+1)

6x-5=0 , 2x+1=0

6x=5 , 2x=-1

x=5/6 , x=-1/2

Solve the equation for all real values of x.<br> cosxtanx - 2 cos x=-1

IceJOKER [234]

Solution to equation $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ for all real values of x is $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$ .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ . Let's solve :

⇒ $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$

⇒ $cosx(\frac{sinx}{cosx}) - 2 cos^2 x=-1$

⇒ $sinx = 2 cos^2 x-1$

⇒ $sinx = 2 (1-sin^2x)-1$

⇒ $sinx = 1-2sin^2x$

⇒ $2sin^2x+sinx-1=0$

By quadratic formula :

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-1 \pm3}{4}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{1}{2} , sinx =-1$

⇒ $sinx = sin\frac{\pi}{6} , sinx = sin\frac{3\pi}{2}$

⇒ $x=\frac{\pi}{6} , x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$

But at $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ we have equation undefined as $cos\frac{3\pi}{2}=0$ . Hence only solution is :

⇒ $x=\frac{\pi}{6}$

Since , $sin(\pi -x)=sinx$

⇒ $x=\pi -\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Now , General Solution is given by :

⇒ $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Therefore , Solution to equation $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ for all real values of x is $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$ .

Determine whether the variation between the indicated quantities is direct or inverse. The number of calories in a cheese pizza

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The variance is direct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since size of the pizza determines the amount of calories.

Let us say that a 2" x4" strip of pizza has 250 calories.

Then a pizza of twice the size (or 4" x 4") will have twice as many calories (500 calories) .
