Your given question is unclear.
In place of t, or theta, I'm going to utilize x instead. So the equation is -3*cos(x) = 1. Get everything to one side and we have -3*cos(x)-1 = 0
Let f(x) = -3*cos(x)-1. The goal is to find the root of f(x) in the interval [0, 2pi]
I'm using the program GeoGebra to get the task done of finding the roots. In this case, there are 2 roots and they are marked by the points A and B in the attachment shown
A = (1.91, 0)
B = (4.37, 0)
So the two solutions for theta are
theta = 1.91 radians
theta = 4.37 radians
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common multiple of {6,8,12} is 24. This can be intuitively figured by noting that any multiple of 12 is a multiple of 6 and that 12 is 1.5x larger than 8. That means we only have so multiple 12 by 2 and 8 by 3 for them to be equal. The GCF of {20,42,72} is 2 as the prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5 and 42 is 2x3x7. That means even without having to check 72 (which is clearly even so 2 is a factor), we know that 2 is the greatest common factor that they could share. So X/Y = 24/2 = 12
Answer:
There is one possible solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the number of solutions
We can proceed to solve the equation
we have two y values so we can directly equate the x parts
-2x - 4 = 3x + 3
3x + 2x = -3-4
5x = -7
x = -7/5
To get y, we substitute
We can only get one value of y too
So we have a point (x,y) as the solution to the system of equations
