I order to solve this you have to find out how how much root beer there is to the total amount of candy. 12/27. Then you find out what the percentage of root beer there is by dividing 12 by 27. It’ll give you a decimal point. Percentage has a maximum of 100%. And you’ll find out what percent based on this decimal. Factor it out of 1. The percentage you get is .44. By factoring out of 1 you can find out that the percentage is 44%. So the probability of finding a root beer out of all the candy is roughly 44%

Which of the following is a solution to 2cos2x − cos x − 1 = 0?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Solution for the given equation is, x = 0^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that : 2\cos^2x -\cos x -1 =0

Let \cos x =y

then our equation become;

2y^2-y-1= 0           .....[1]

A quadratic equation is of the form:

ax^2+bx+c =0.....[2] where a, b and c are coefficient and the solution is given by;

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Comparing equation [1] and [2] we get;

a = 2 b = -1 and c =-1

then;

y = \frac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(2)(-1)}}{2(2)}

Simplify:

y = \frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{1+8}}{4}

or

y = \frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}

y = \frac{ 1 \pm 3}{4}

or

y = \frac{1+3}{4} and y = \frac{1 -3}{4}

Simplify:

y = 1 and y = -\frac{1}{2}

Substitute y = cos x we have;

\cos x = 1

⇒x = 0^{\circ}

and

\cos x = -\frac{1}{2}

⇒ x = 120^{\circ} \text{and} x = 240^{\circ}

The solution set:  \{0^{\circ}, 120^{\circ} , 240^{\circ}\}

Therefore, the solution for the given equation  2\cos^2x -\cos x -1 =0 is, 0^{\circ}

igor_vitrenko [27]
You can buy 6 bags of forks and 8 bags of spoons. All you simply have to do is find the common multiple of the two. You can just multiply them both if you can’t find any others or it’s easier
