Answer:

The answer is option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Cosine Rule, cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse. Then, you have to substitute the values into the formula :

$cos(θ) = \frac{adj.}{hypo.}$

$let \: θ = 55$

$let \: adj. = 11$

$let \: hypo. = x$

$cos(55) = \frac{11}{x}$

Answer:

cos(55) = 11/x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the hypotenuse (x) and an angle adjacent to 55 (11). The only trigonometric formula that uses adjacent and hypotenuse is cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse), so that will be your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2.\\(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\x^2-16x=-8\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)=-8\\\\\text{We have}\ 2ab=2(x)(8).\ \text{Therefore}\ b=8.\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)=-8\qquad\text{add}\ 8^2=64\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)+8^2=-8+64\\\\(x-8)^2=56$

$5.\\2x^2+x-1=2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\2x^2+x-3=0\\\\2x^2+3x-2x-3=0\\\\x(2x+3)-1(2x+3)=0\\\\(2x+3)(x-1)=0\iff 2x+3=0\ \vee\ x-1=0\\\\2x+3=0\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\2x=-3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\x-1=0\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=1}$

$6.\\2x^2-4x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x^2-2x=0\\\\x(x-2)=0\iff x=0\ \vee\ x-2=0\\\\\boxed{x=0}\\\\x-2=0\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=2}$
