Answer:

{0, 150} degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2cos^2x-cost-1=0, let's simplify this problem by temporarily replacing cos x with y:

2y^2 - y -1 = 0

This can be solved by factoring:  (2y + 1)(y - 1) = 0.  From this we get two solutions:  y = -1/2 and y = 1.

Remembering that we let y = cos x, we now solve:

cos x = -1/2 and cos x = 1.

Note that cos x = 1 when x = 0 and the "adjacent side" coincides with the hypotenuse.

cos x = -1/2 when the hypotenuse is 2 and the "adjacent side" is -1.  This has two solutions between 0 and 360 degrees:  150 degrees and  270 degrees.

Four answer choices are given.  Both (a) (0 degrees) and (b) (150 degrees) satisfy the original equation.  Thus, the solution set is {0, 150} (degrees).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 sandwich is 6.25 (because 31.25/5)

2 sandwiches is 12.5

3 sandwiches are 18.75

4 sandwiches are 25

5 sandwiches are 31.25

6 sandwiches are 37.5

Amy - 8s + 12

8(6.25) +12 = 62

Amy paid $62.

Bob - 8(s + 2)

8(6.25 + 2) = 66

Bob pays $66.

Cathy - 4(2s + 3)

4(2 x 6.25 + 3) = 62

Cathy paid $62.

Solve the system of elimination -2x+2y+3z=0 -2x-y+z=-3 2x+3y+3z=5
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

x = 1 , y = 1 and z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+2y+3z=0    ------(1)

-2x-y+z=-3     --------(2)

2x+3y+3z=5    ---------(3)

<u>To find the values of x,y and z</u>

(3) - (2)⇒ 2y + 4z = 2

y + 2z = 1   --------(4)

(1) - (2)⇒ 3y +2z =3   ---(5)

(5) - (4)⇒ 2y = 2

y = 1

Substituting the value of y in (4) we get z =0

Substituting the value of y and z  in (1) we get x = 1

Therefore x = 1 , y = 1 and z = 0
