Answer:
2 or C
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm taking this to mean
4 = 2(x - 1)^2
4 = 2(x^2 - 2x + 1)
4 = 2x^2 - 4x + 2
2x^2 - 4x - 2 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0
What you get from here is sqrt(2) as one of the roots.
That is not nearly an answer.
4 = 4(x -1)
4 = 4x - 4
8 = 4x
x = 8/4
x = 2
That makes C the answer.

Method
A symmetric function is a function in several variable which remain unchanged for any permutation of the variables.
f(-x) = f(x)
Final answer
from the final solution
Answer:
-8/15
Step-by-step explanation:
So remember what sin, cos, and tan are.
sin = opposite/hypotenuse
cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan = opposite/adjacent
Now, using what we know of sin and cos, lets find opposite and adjacent to solve for tan.
Sin=-8/17
So this must mean that opposite is -8, and the hypotenuse is 17.
Next, lets find adjacent. Cos = 15/17
So this must mean that adjacent is 15, and again, hypotenuse is 17.
Now lets take the -8 of the opposite, and 15 of the adjacent, and get tan.
<u>Tan: -8/15. </u>
17 is not included in this whatsoever, since hypotenuse is not included in tan. And remember that it cannot be -15/8, since its opposite/adjacent, not adjacent/opposite.
