(\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})(\sec x-1)=0 [/tex]

=(\cos x-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})(\sec x-1)=0 [/tex]

\frac{(\sqrt{2}\cos x-1)}{\sqrt{2}}(\frac{1}{\cos x\ }-1)=0

(Reciprocal Identity)

(\frac{^{\sqrt{2}\\cos  x-1}}{^{\sqrt{2}}})(\frac{1-\cos x}{\cos x})=0

\frac{^{(\sqrt{2}\cos x-1})}{\sqrt{2}}\frac{(1-\cos x)}{\cos x}=0

(\sqrt{2}\cos x-1}){(1-\cos x)}=0 (ZeroProduct Property)

\sqrt{2}\cos x-1=0

\sqrt{2}\cos x=1

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

x=\frac{\Pi }{4}

and

1-\cos x=0

\cos x=1

x=0

x=0 and x=\frac{\Pi }{4} are the solutions.

Answer and explanation :

Given : (\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})(\sec x-1)=0

To find :

I. Use the zero product property to set up two equations that will lead to solutions to the original equation.

Solution :

The zero product property state that,

If x\times y=0 then x=0 or y=0 (or both x=0 and y=0)

Applying zero product property we get,

(\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})(\sec x-1)=0

(\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=0\text{ or }(\sec x-1)=0

The two equations form is

\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=0....(1)

\sec x-1=0 ......(2)

II. Use a reciprocal identity to express the equation involving secant in terms of sine, cosine, or tangent.

Solution :  

The reciprocal identity is flipping of a number,

The reciprocal of secant is 1 by cosine

sec x=\frac{1}{cos x}

Substitute in the given equation,

(\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})(\frac{1}{cos x}-1)=0

III. Solve each of the two equations in Part I for x, giving all solutions to the equation

Solution :

The two equations form is

\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=0....(1)

\sec x-1=0 ......(2)

Solving equation (1)

\cos x-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=0

\cos x-{1}\frac{\sqrt{2}}=0

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

\cos x=\cos \frac{\pi}{4}

x=\frac{\pi}{4}

Solving equation (2)

\sec x-1=0

\sec x=1

\sec x=\sec 0

x=0

Therefore, The solutions of the equation is x=0,\frac{\pi}{4}

Answer:

(0.5,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

mid point=(x1+x2)/2

 =(-3+4)/2

= 1/2

=0.5

midpoint=(y1+y2)/2

      =(-9+(-3))/2

=(-9-3)/2

=--12/2

=-6

Determine the growth defined by the equation y=3(3.4)x
jekas [21]
\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\\
r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\\
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{A}{y}=\stackrel{I}{3}(3.4)^{x}\implies y=3(1+\stackrel{r}{2.4})^x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{r}{100}=2.4\implies r=100\cdot 2.4\implies r=\stackrel{\%}{240}
