The solution of equation is: x=-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$5-\sqrt{2x+8}=4$

first of all, we have to simplify the equation

so,

Subtracting 5 from both sides

$5-5-\sqrt{2x+8}=4-5\\-\sqrt{2x+8}=-1$

Dividing both sides by -1

$\frac{-\sqrt{2x+8}}{-1}=\frac{-1}{-1}\\\sqrt{2x+8}=1\\$

Taking square on both sides

$(\sqrt{2x+8})^2=(1)^2$

$2x+8=1$

Subtracting 8 from both sides

$2x+8-8=1-8\\2x=-7$

dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}\\x=\frac{7}{2}$

the solution of equation is: x=-7/2

What is the period of the graph of y = 5cos(6x – 1) + 3?<br> O A.

evablogger [386]

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficent of the x variable is b.

The formula for the period is

$\frac{2\pi}{ |b| }$

Here, b is 6 so we have

$\frac{2\pi}{ |6| } = \frac{\pi}{3}$

So the period is pi/3, or 60 degrees

Answer:

0.63

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the relative frequency of students with red hair, we need to find the relative frequency of students with red hair from the students with gray eyes.

Since we already know that the total number of students with gray eyes is 35 and the number of red hair students with gray eye is 22

The formula we will use to calculate the relative frequency will be

The relative frequency of students with red hair = Total students of red hair with gray eyes divide by total number of gray eye students

22 ÷ 35 = 0.628 ≅ 0.63
