How do you solve the equation 2cos^2 - cosx = 0 for all solutions?

Answer:

<em>π/2 and π/3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 2cos²x - cosx = 0, to find the solution to the equation, we will follow the following step.

let P = cosx

The equation becomes 2P²-P = 0

P(2P-1) = 0

P = 0 and 2P-1 = 0

P= 0 and P = 1/2

Since P = cosx

cosx = 0 and cos(x) =  1/2

If cos(x) = 0

x = cos⁻¹0

x = 90⁰

x = π/2

If cos(x) = 1/2

x = cos⁻¹1/2

x = 60⁰

x = π/3

<em>Hence the solutions to the equation are π/2 and π/3.</em>

The units of the subway map below are in miles. Suppose the routes between
levacccp [35]

Distance between Station E  and Station G  is 8.48 miles (Approx.)

<u>Given:</u>

Distance 3 miles east

Distance 5 miles south

<u>Find:</u>

Distance between Station E  and Station G

<u>Computation:</u>

Co-ordinate of Point E = (-3 , 1)

Co-ordinate of Point G is 3 mile east and 5 mile south

So,

Co-ordinate of Point G = (3 , -5)

Distance between two point = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

So,

Distance between Station E  and Station G  = √(3 + 3)² + (-5 - 1)²

Distance between Station E  and Station G  = √(6)² + (-6)²

Distance between Station E  and Station G  = √36 + 36

Distance between Station E  and Station G  = √72

Distance between Station E  and Station G  = 8.48 miles (Approx.)

The value of Q is given by the relation Q = 17m. If Q and m are integers with Q greater than 150 and less than 160, then which o
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: Value of m = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the relationship between Q and m is;

Q = 17m

Make m the subject of formula

M = Q/17

If Q is greater than 150 and less than 160, then, let assume that

Q = 151, then

M = 151/17

M = 8.88

If Q = 159

M = 159/17

M= 9.35

Since m ranges from 8.88 to 9.35, the value of m = 9
