5 0

Answer:

we have x = -62 or x = 66

Step-by-step explanation:

16=(x-2)^2/3

I would take square root first

4 = (x - 2)^ (1/3)

or -4 = (x - 2)^(1/3)

.....

4^3 = x - 2

64 = x - 2

x = 66

or -4 ^3 = x - 2

-64 = x - 2

x = -62

we have x = -62 or x = 66

A single , six sided die is rolled . find the probability of rolling an odd number less than 4

Feliz [49]

I don't have a lot of experience with chance, but there are 2 odd numbers before 4, 1 and 3, so it would be 2 out of 6 or 33.3 continuing percent.

Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. A student discovered that adding half a cup of salt to a gallon of water lowers its freezing

Artemon [7]

Answer:

-7°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Freezing point of water = 0°C

By adding salt, freezing point lowers by 7°C ;

The freezing point of salt water can be expressed as ;

Since temperature lowers :

Freezing point of salt water :

Freezing point of water - 7°C

0°C - 7°C

= - 7°C

Solve the equation for all real values of x. cosxtanx - 2 cos x=-1

IceJOKER [234]

Solution to equation $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ for all real values of x is $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ . Let's solve :

⇒ $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$

⇒ $cosx(\frac{sinx}{cosx}) - 2 cos^2 x=-1$

⇒ $sinx = 2 cos^2 x-1$

⇒ $sinx = 2 (1-sin^2x)-1$

⇒ $sinx = 1-2sin^2x$

⇒ $2sin^2x+sinx-1=0$

By quadratic formula :

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{-1 \pm3}{4}$

⇒ $sinx = \frac{1}{2} , sinx =-1$

⇒ $sinx = sin\frac{\pi}{6} , sinx = sin\frac{3\pi}{2}$

⇒ $x=\frac{\pi}{6} , x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$

But at $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$ we have equation undefined as $cos\frac{3\pi}{2}=0$ . Hence only solution is :

⇒ $x=\frac{\pi}{6}$

Since , $sin(\pi -x)=sinx$

⇒ $x=\pi -\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Now , General Solution is given by :

⇒ $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Therefore , Solution to equation $cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1$ for all real values of x is $x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}$ .
