\cos x-\sin^2x-1\\/use\ \sin^2x+\cos^2x=1\to\sin^2x=1-\cos^2x/\\\\=\cos x-(1-\cos^2x)-1=\cos x-1+\cos^2x-1\\=\cos x-1+\cos^2x-1^2\\/use\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)/\\\\=\cos x-1+(\cos x-1)(\cos x+1)\\=1(\cos x-1)+(\cos x+1)(\cos x-1)\\\\=\boxed{(\cos x-1)(1+\cos x+1)=(\cos x-1)(\cos x+2)}

The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown.
olga_2 [115]
If you apply the linear combination method to the system like:
<span>4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15
(4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3
2x = 18
Then you can be sure that the solution of all this system is: (9,3). Hope this si what you were looking for</span>

In your computation, approximate its value as 3.14.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: d

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the rectangle.

A=l*w\\A=(15in)(12in)\\A=180in^2

Find the area of the base of the semicircle.

A=\pi r^2

12 in would be the diameter, divide by 2 to get the radius.

\frac{12}{2}=6

Plug this into the formula.

A=(3.14)(6)^2\\A=113.04in^2

Since we do not have a full circle but a semi one instead, we must divide our result by 2.

\frac{113.04}{2}=56.52in^2

Add both areas.

180+56.52=236.52in^2
