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).

A car and a motorcycle leave the city at the same time and drive to a lake that is 120 km away. The speed of the motorcycle is 2
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

  • 40 km/h and 60 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the car is x, then the speed of motorcycle is x + 20

The distance = 120 km

<u>Time:</u>

  • 120/x = 120/(x + 20) + 1
  • 120(x + 20) = 120x + x(x +20)
  • 120x + 2400 = 120x + x² + 20x
  • x² + 20x = 2400
  • x² + 2*10x + 10² = 2500
  • (x + 10)² = 50²
  • x  + 10 = 50
  • x = 40

Speed of the car is 40 km/h

Speed of the motorcycle is 60 km/h

Which is not a likely area of application of statistics in business?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistics has a lot of usage in business.

Using statistics as well as statistical tools helps in the provision of data to be used for business analysis. With available data we can get patterns in a a large database. Statistics can be used for auditing, as in question option b. For option c, statistics can be used for making business forecasts after the careful observation of trends and patterns that are in the data.

Option d does not make use of statistics. It has nothing to do with statistics neither does it have a computational feature.

Therefore, d.) questioning the executive's strategic decision is the answer to this question

givi [52]

Given :

Brianna is a waitress in an upscale restaurant. On Friday she waited on 12 groups of customers who spent an average of $186 per group.

Her tips averaged 18% of the total amount spent by all the groups of customers that day.

To Find :

Brianna's tip income earnings on Friday.

Solution :

Total amount of money spent by 12 groups :

P = $ 12×186 = $2232 .

She got tip of 18% of the total amount spent by all the groups of customers.

T = P\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\T= 2232\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\T=\$446.4

Brianna's tip income earnings on Friday is $446.4 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the value of the expression 18-2×(4+3)
Vika [28.1K]
The value would be 4.

First, you have to do 4 + 3 because it's in parenteces. This equals 7
Secondly, you have to do 2 x 7, which is 14.
Last you have to do 18 - 14 which is 4.
