Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Cosine is the adjacent side over the hypotenuse (You can remember sin, cos, and tan by using sohcahtoa or sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan = opposite over adjacent). I think a picture would help, too.
I attached a picture of what I think the triangle would look like.
If the picture is right (we're assuming it is) and going with what we're given (the triangle was addressed as triangle XYZ, meaning that <u>angle Y is in the middle and that's the one we'll use</u>).
Looking at my picture then:
.
Answer:
x = √2 + 2, -√2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2(x-2)² + 4
-2(x-2)² + 4 = 0 --- replace y with 0
-2(x - 2)² = -4 --- subtract 4 from both sides
(x - 2)² = --- divide both sides by -2
(x - 2)² = 2 --- simplify
x - 2 = +-√2 --- square root both sides
x - 2 = √2 --- split into 2 equations
x - 2 = -√2
x = √2 + 2 --- solve first equation
x = -√2 + 2 --- solve second equation
x = √2 + 2, -√2 + 2
