Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

8- 2x - 5- 13x = 6

Combine like terms

-15x+3=6

Subtract 3 from each side

-15x+3-3=6-3

-15x = 3

Divide each side by -15

x = 3/-15

x = -1/5

Check

8 - 2(-1/5) -5 -13(-1/5) = 6

8 + 2/5 -5 +13/5 = 6

3 + 15/5 = 6

3+3=6

6=6

What are the roots of the function f(x) = x2 + 2x – 1? a. x = ± √ _ 2 b. x = − 1 ± √ _ 2 c. x = 2 ± √ _ 2 d. x = 1 ± √ _ 2

Masteriza [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Root of the function, where y = 0

f(x) = x² + 2x - 1

0 = x² + 2x - 1

x² + 2x - 1 = 0

x² + 2x = 1

x² + 2x + 1 = 1 + 1

(x + 1)² = 2

x + 1 = ±√2

x = -1 ± √2

Roots → x = -1 ± √2

Let u = (1, 2 -2), v= (2, 1, 3) and w = j + 4k. a) Find cos theta, where theta is the angle in degrees between u and w.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: The value of cos theta is -0.352.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\vec{u}=1\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-2\hat{k}\and\\\\\vec{w}=\hat{j}+4\hat{k}$

We need to find the cos theta between u and w.

As we know the formula for angle between two vectors.

$\cos\ \theta=\dfrac{\vec{u}.\vec{w}}{\mid u\mid \mid w\mid}$

So, it becomes,

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{2-8}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+(-2)^2}\sqrt{1^2+4^2}}\\\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{-6}{\sqrt{17}\sqrt{17}}=\dfrac{-6}{17}=-0.352\\\\\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{-6}{17})=110.66^\circ$

Hence, the value of cos theta is -0.352.
