There is no work to show. It is really just trial and error till you get the hang of it. You look at the multiples of the last term and find.which add or subtract to the middle terms coefficient. Use DeCartes law of signs to determine if it is plus or minus.
1. Does not factor solve using other method
2. (X-5)^2
The answer in itself is 1/128 and here is the procedure to prove it:
cos(A)*cos(60+A)*cos(60-A) = cos(A)*(cos²60 - sin²A)
<span>= cos(A)*{(1/4) - 1 + cos²A} = cos(A)*(cos²A - 3/4) </span>
<span>= (1/4){4cos^3(A) - 3cos(A)} = (1/4)*cos(3A) </span>
Now we group applying what we see above
<span>cos(12)*cos(48)*cos(72) = </span>
<span>=cos(12)*cos(60-12)*cos(60+12) = (1/4)cos(36) </span>
<span>Similarly, cos(24)*cos(36)*cos(84) = (1/4)cos(72) </span>
<span>Now the given expression is: </span>
<span>= (1/4)cos(36)*(1/4)*cos(72)*cos(60) = </span>
<span>= (1/16)*(1/2)*{(√5 + 1)/4}*{(√5 - 1)/4} [cos(60) = 1/2; </span>
<span>cos(36) = (√5 + 1)/4 and cos(72) = cos(90-18) = </span>
<span>= sin(18) = (√5 - 1)/4] </span>
<span>And we seimplify it and it goes: (1/512)*(5-1) = 1/128</span>
For any given rational function, the vertical asymptotes represent the value of x that will make the denominator of the function equal to zero. The horizontal asymptote represent the value of y that results to an undefined value of x. The asymptotes serve as limits for the domain and range of the function.
