Solve the equation on the interval [0, 2pi) 2 cos^2 (theta/2) - 3 cos theta = 0

1 answer:

3 0

Hello :
by idetity : 1+cos(2a) = 2cos²(a)
let : a = <span>θ/2
1+cos(2×</span>θ/2)=2cos²(θ/2)
1+cos(θ) = 2cos²(θ/2)
solve : 2 cos^2 (θ/2) - 3 cos(θ) = 0 ......(1)
(1) : 1+cos(θ)-3 cos(θ) =0
2cos(θ) = 1

cos(θ) = 1/2
in : [0, 2π<span>[
</span>( θ = π/3) or (θ = 5π/3)

Which number produces an irrational number when added to 0.4

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

0.31311311131111....

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to tell a number which when adds to 0.4 makes it a Irrational Number . We know that ,

<u>Rational</u><u> number</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u> The number in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero is called a Rational number .

<u>Irrational</u><u> number</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u> Non terminating and non repeating decimals are called irrational number .

Recall the property that :-

<u>Property</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u> Sum of a Rational Number and a Irrational number is Irrational .

So basically here we can add any Irrational number to 0.4 to make it Irrational . One Irrational number is ,

$\rm\implies Irrational\ Number = 0.31311311131111...$
