                               cos²θ + 3cosθ + 2 = 0
                      cos² + cosθ + 2cosθ + 2 = 0
cosθ(cosθ) + cosθ(1) + 2(cosθ) + 2(1) = 0
               cosθ(cosθ + 1) + 2(cosθ + 1) = 0
                             (cosθ + 2)(cosθ + 1) = 0
                cosθ + 2 = 0    or    cosθ + 1 = 0
                          - 2  - 2                     - 1  - 1
                       cosθ = -2               cosθ = -1
                                           cos⁻¹(cosθ) = cos¹(-1)
                                                          θ = 180

Hello,

cos θ =-1 or cos θ =-1/2

Indeed:
cos 2θ =2 cos² θ -1

cos 2θ +3 cos θ+2=0
==>2 cos² θ -1+3 cos θ+2=0
==>2 cos² θ +3 cos θ+1=0
Δ=3²-4*2=1
cos θ =(-3-1)/4=-1 or cos θ =(-3+1)/4=-1/2


We must verify:

if cos θ =-1 then 2*(-1)² -1 +3*(-1)+2=2-1-3+2=0

if cos θ =-1/2 then 2*(-1/2)² -1 +3*(-1/2)+2=2*1/4-1-3/2+2=1/2-3/2+1=0

Cary is 7 years older than Dan. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 79. Find the age of each man now.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Dan's age now be D.

Let Cary's age now be C.

"Cary is 7 years older than Dan."

C = D + 7

"In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 79. "

In 7 years, the ages of Dan and Cary will be D + 7 and C + 7, respectively.

D + 7 + C + 7 = 79

C + D + 14 = 79

C + D = 65

C = D + 7

The last two equations in bold above form a system of equations. Since the second equation is already solved for C, we use the substitution method.

D + 7 + D = 65

2D + 7 = 65

2D = 58

D = 29

C = D + 7

C = 29 + 7

C = 36

Answer: Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

Holly drove 100 miles in 4 hours, and Yemi drove 100 miles in 5 hours. How can you compare the speeds of Holly and Yemi? Explain
Lelu [443]
The first thing that yo do is divide 100 by 5 for Yemi and that's how fast she drove which is 20 miles per hour. And then you do the same thing for Holly 100 divided by 4 which is 25 mph. So Holly is driving faster than Yemi. So you can compare them by dividing the miles by hours for both of them.

If log(16)=s, what is the value of 2/3 log(6400) - 1/3 log(1600) in terms of s?
eduard

The value of   \dfrac{ 2}{3} log(6400) - \dfrac{1}{3} log(1600)  in terms of s will be

\dfrac{2}{3}(400s)-\dfrac{1}{3}(1000s)

<h3>What is Logrithm?</h3>

A quantity representing the power to which a fixed number (the base) must be raised to produce a given number.

Here we have the expression:-

\dfrac{ 2}{3} log(6400) - \dfrac{1}{3} log(1600)

So in terms of s the expression will become:-

\dfrac{2}{3}(400s)-\dfrac{1}{3}(1000s)
