How do I solve: 2 sin (2x) - 2 sin x + 2√3 cos x - √3 = 0

Answer:

\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} +k\, \pi or \displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi, where k is an integer.

There are three such angles between 0 and 2\pi: \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{3}, \displaystyle \frac{2\, \pi}{3}, and \displaystyle \frac{4\,\pi}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the double angle identity of sines:

\sin(2\, x) = 2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x.

Rewrite the original equation with this identity:

2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x) - 2\, \sin x + 2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x - \sqrt{3} = 0.

Note, that 2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x) and (-2\, \sin x) share the common factor (2\, \sin x). On the other hand, 2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x and (-\sqrt{3}) share the common factor \sqrt[3}. Combine these terms pairwise using the two common factors:

(2\, \sin x) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) + \left(\sqrt{3}\right)\, (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0.

Note the new common factor (2\, \cos x - 1). Therefore:

\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0.

This equation holds as long as either \left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right) or (2\, \cos x - 1) is zero. Let k be an integer. Accordingly:

  • \displaystyle \sin x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, which corresponds to \displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi and \displaystyle x = -\frac{2\, \pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi.
  • \displaystyle \cos x = \frac{1}{2}, which corresponds to \displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi and \displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi.

Any x that fits into at least one of these patterns will satisfy the equation. These pattern can be further combined:

  • \displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + k \, \pi (from \displaystyle x = -\frac{2\,\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi and \displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi, combined,) as well as
  • \displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

  (-5, 0) ∪ (5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

I find a graph convenient for this purpose. (See below)

__

When you want to find where a function is increasing or decreasing, you want to look at the sign of the derivative. Here, the derivative is ...

  f'(x) = 4x^3 -100x = 4x(x^2 -25) = 4x(x +5)(x -5)

This has zeros at x=-5, x=0, and x=5. The sign of the derivative will be positive when 0 or 2 factors have negative signs. The signs change at the zeros. So, the intervals of f' having a positive sign are (-5, 0) and (5, ∞).

PLEASE HELP.
pentagon [3]

Let x represent the number of shirts. Let y represent the number of pens.

If shirts are on sale for $11.99 each, then x shirts cost $11.99x.

If pants are on sale for $12.99 each, then y pants cost $12.99y.

The total cost is $(11.99x+12.99y).

Sarah can spend up to $65. Then an inequality that represents this situation is

11.99x+12.99y≤65 (this inequality holds when Sarah can spend $65 too)

or

11.99x+12.99y<65 (this inequality holds when Sarah can spend less than $65).
