Correct answer is A.

\tan{12^o}= \frac{45}{x} 
\\
\\x= \frac{45}{\tan{12^o}}} 
\\
\\x \approx 212 \text{ m}

Solve the equation for 0 &lt;= x &lt; 2pi.<br><br> (2sin x - 1)(2cos^2 x - 1) = 0
marta [7]

If

(2 sin(x) - 1) (2 cos²(x) - 1) = 0

then either

2 sin(x) - 1 = 0   or   2 cos²(x) - 1 = 0

sin(x) = 1/2   or   cos(2x) = 0

The first equation gives two families of solutions,

x = arcsin(1/2) + 2nπ = π/6 + 2nπ

x = π - arcsin(1/2) + 2nπ = 5π/6 + 2nπ

where n is any integer; we get the solutions x = π/6 and x = 5π/6 in the interval 0 ≤ x < 2π when n = 0.

The second equation also gives two families of solutions,

2x = arccos(0) + 2nπ = π/2 + 2nπ

2x = -arccos(0) + 2nπ = -π/2 + 2nπ

Divide both sides by 2 :

x = π/4 + nπ

x = -π/4 + nπ

Then the solutions we want are x = π/4 and x = 5π/4 (when n = 0 and 1 in the first family, respectively) and x = 3π/4 and x = 7π/4 (when n = 1 and 2 in the second family).

We have 6 solutions, so A is the correct choice.

3p-4=8and 2p=4 is it equivalent
Mars2501 [29]
3p-4=8
+4 on both sides to get
3p=12
divide each side by 3 to get p=4

2p=4
divide off 2 on both sides to get
p=2

Is 2=4? If it is then it is equivelent, if it isnt then theyre not.

Warren, a golf fan, was curious about how often professional golfers make successful putts from various distances. He looked at
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation coefficient is a mathematical measure of certain kind of correlation, in sense a statistical relationship amid two variables

Negative correlation is a relationship amid two variables in which one variable rises as the other falls, and vice versa.  

Values amid 0.7 and 1.0 (-0.7 and -1.0) implies a strong positive (negative) linear relationship amid the variables.

It is provided that Warren noticed a strong negative linear relationship between the success rate and putt distances.

This implies that as the putt distances are increasing the success rates are decreasing and as the putt distances are decreasing the success rates are increasing.
