Answer:

The value of SecФ is  \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for trigonometric function :

tan²Ф = \frac{3}{8}

Or, tanФ = \sqrt{\frac{3}{8} }

∵ tanФ = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

So,  \frac{Perpendicular}{Base} =  \sqrt{\frac{3}{8} }

So, Hypotenuse² = perpendicular² + base²

or, Hypotenuse² = ( \sqrt{3} )² + ( \sqrt{8} )²

Or,  Hypotenuse² = 3 + 8 = 11

Or,  Hypotenuse = ( \sqrt{11} )

Now SecФ = \frac{Hypotenuse}{Base}

or, SecФ = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{8}} = \sqrt{\frac{11}{8} }

<u>Second Method</u>

Sec²Ф - tan²Ф = 1

Or, Sec²Ф = 1 +  tan²Ф

or, Sec²Ф = 1 +  \frac{3}{8}

Or, Sec²Ф = \frac{11}{8}

Or,  SecФ = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}}

Hence The value of SecФ is  \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}} . Answer

The graph of this system of equations is used to solve 4x2-3+6=2x4-9x3+2x What represents the solution set?
Vilka [71]

ANSWER

x coordinates of the intersection points

EXPLANATION

The given system of equations is:

y = 4 {x}^{2}  - 3x + 6

y = 2 {x}^{4}  - 9 {x}^{3}  + 2x

We want to use the graph of these functions to solve

4 {x}^{2}  - 3x + 6 =  2 {x}^{4}  - 9 {x}^{3}  + 2x

The point of the intersection of the graph gives the solution to the simultaneous equation above.

Hence the x-coordinates of the intersection points gives the solution set of

4 {x}^{2}  - 3x + 6 =  2 {x}^{4}  - 9 {x}^{3}  + 2x

The last choice is correct.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter (P) is the sum of the 4 sides

(a)

P = a + b + c + d

  = x + 7 + 2x + 2 + 8x + x + 10 ← collect like terms

 = 12x + 19

(b)

If x = 4 , then

P = 12x + 19 = 12(4) + 19 = 48 + 19 = 67

(c)

If x = 2 , then

P = 12x + 19 = 12(2) + 19 = 24 + 19 = 43

(d)

P = a + b + c + d

   = x² + 4x + 8 + 2x² + x ← collect like terms

   = 3x² + 5x + 8
