Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 ⇒ sin²x = 1 - cos²x

Given

sin²x + 7cosx + 17

=1 - cos²x + 7cosx + 17

= - cos²x + 7cosx + 18 ← factor out - 1 from each term

= - (cos²x - 7cosx - 18)

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the cosx term (- 7)

The factors are - 9 and + 2, thus

= - (cosx - 9)(cosx + 2) ← in factored form

Which description does NOT guarantee that a trapezoid is isosceles?
babunello [35]

A trapezoid is isosceles if and only if

(1) The base angles are congruent

(2) The diagonals are congruent

(3) The opposite angles are supplementary

So the description does not guarantee that a trapezoid is isoceles for "Congruent bases".
