Find all solutions of each equation on the interval 0 ≤ x < 2π.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$x = 0$ or $x = \pi$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

How are tangents and secants related to sines and cosines?

$\displaystyle \tan{x} = \frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}}$ .

$\displaystyle \sec{x} = \frac{1}{\cos{x}}$ .

Sticking to either cosine or sine might help simplify the calculation. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $\sin^{2}{x} = 1 - \cos^{2}{x}$ . Therefore, for the square of tangents,

$\displaystyle \tan^{2}{x} = \frac{\sin^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}}$ .

This equation will thus become:

$\displaystyle \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{x}} + \frac{2}{\cos^{2}{x}} - \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = 2$ .

To simplify the calculations, replace all $\cos^{2}{x}$ with another variable. For example, let $u = \cos^{2}{x}$ . Keep in mind that $0 \le \cos^{2}{x} \le 1 \implies 0 \le u \le 1$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1 - u}{u^{2}} + \frac{2}{u} - \frac{1 - u}{u} = 2$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{(1 - u) + u - u \cdot (1- u)}{u^{2}} = 2$ .

Solve this equation for $u$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{u^{2} + 1}{u^{2}} = 2$ .

$u^{2} + 1 = 2 u^{2}$ .

$u^{2} = 1$ .

Given that $0 \le u \le 1$ , $u = 1$ is the only possible solution.

$\cos^{2}{x} = 1$ ,

$x = k \pi$ , where $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ (i.e., $k$ is an integer.)

Given that $0 \le x < 2\pi$ ,

$0 \le k$ .

$k = 0$ or $k = 1$ . Accordingly,

$x = 0$ or $x = \pi$ .

Find the volume of the cylinder.

Georgia [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>Exact volume = 32pi</h3><h3>Approximate volume = 100.48</h3>

The approximate volume only applies when pi = 3.14

Use either answer, but not both of course.

===============================================

Work Shown:

V = volume of cylinder

V = pi*r^2*h

V = pi*2^2*8

V = pi*32

V = 32pi .... exact volume in terms of pi

V = 32*3.14

V = 100.48 .... approximate volume when we use pi = 3.14

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

2 50-pound bags

Step-by-step explanation:

[Conversions] 50-pound bags -> 800-ounce bags

[Total potatoes used] 200 mashed potato creations * 8 ounces of potatoes in each dish = 1,600 ounces of potatoes

[Bags used] 1,600 / 800 = 2 bags
