First, put your polynomial in standard form(ax²+bx+c=0). Then plug the a,b and c for x=(-b+-√b²-4ac)÷2a. As a result, you can either get one, two or no real answers.

Answer: B) Only the first equation is an identity</h3>
========================
I'm using x in place of theta. For each equation, I'm only altering the left hand side.
Part 1
cos(270+x) = sin(x)
cos(270)cos(x) - sin(270)sin(x) = sin(x)
0*cos(x) - (-1)*sin(x) = sin(x)
0 + sin(x) = sin(x)
sin(x) = sin(x) ... equation is true
Identity is confirmed
---------------------------------
Part 2
sin(270+x) = -sin(x)
sin(270)cos(x) + cos(270)sin(x) = -sin(x)
-1*cos(x) + 0*sin(x) = -sin(x)
-cos(x) = -sin(x)
We don't have an identity. If the right hand side was -cos(x), instead of -sin(x), then we would have an identity.
Obliviously 1/2.
If you roll a die and you get two times 3 the probability to get another 3 is always 1/6
