\bf cos^2(x)+2cos(x)+1=0\implies \stackrel{\textit{let's notice, this is simply }ax^2+bx+c=0}{[cos(x)]^2+2cos(x)+1=0} \\[2em] [cos(x)+1][cos(x)+1]=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ cos(x)+1=0\implies cos(x)=-1\implies x=cos^{-1}(-1)\implies \stackrel{\textit{for the range }[0,2\pi ]}{x=\pi } \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{all solutions}}{x=\pi +2\pi n~~,~~ n \in \mathbb{Z}}~\hfill

The exterior angle of a regular polygon is 15 degrees how many sides does it have
Komok [63]
The formula to use is
n = 360/E
where 
n = number of sides
E = measure of exterior angle

In our case, E = 15 so 
n = 360/E
n = 360/15
n = 24

This regular polygon has 24 sides

Solve for x. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
maks197457 [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. let's call the line in the middle y.

step 2. y = sqrt(5^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(74). pythagorean theorem.

step 3. x^2 + y^2 =100 (pythagorean theorem))

step 4. x^2 + (sqrt(74))^2 = 100.

step 5. x^2 = 100 - 74

step 6. x^2 = 26

step 7. x = sqrt(26). note: sqrt is the square root.

A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal, as shown (see figure):
Anestetic [448]
The answer
let p' be the corresponding angle of the angle p (that is because of the prallelism and the transversal, look the image)
but p' and p are correspondant angles implies p'=p,
looking at the figure, p' and q are opposite angles
so q=p' and p'=p implies   q=p
the answer is
<span>p = q</span>
