                               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

0.884 in standard form
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

8.84 ×10⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Move one decimal to the right to make one number go after the decimal. (ONLY one number from 0 - 9)

0.884 to 08.84

Now with how many times the decimal moves, it determines the power. Left equals positive and right is negative.

Standard form goes with × 10ˣ

the x next to 10 is the power.

The decimal moved 1 right so the power would be -1.

So,

8.84 × 10⁻¹

24 more than Holly's age is 67
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

This question isn't really complete, but if you're asking what Holly's age is, then that's just 67 - 24, which is 43.

So Holly is 43, if that's the question.
