How to solve 3sin^2x= cos^2x

DochEvi [55]3 years ago

I'll try it.
I just went through this twice on scratch paper.  The first time was to
see if I could do it, and the second time was because the first result
I got was ridiculous.  But I think I got it.

You said                                                 <span><u>3sin²(x) = cos²(x)</u>

Use this trig identity:  sin²(x) = 1 - cos²(x)   

                                   Plug it into the original equation for (x).

                                                     3(1 - cos²(x) )  =  cos²(x)

Remove parentheses on the left:    3 - 3cos²(x)  =  cos²(x)

Add  3cos²(x)  to each side:            3                  =  4cos²(x)

Divide each side by  4 :                  3/4  =  cos²(x)

Take the square root of each side:    <em>cos(x) = (√3) / 2</em> .

There it is ... the cosine of the unknown angle.
Now you just go look it up in a book with a table cosines,
or else pinch it through your computer or your calculator,
or else just remember that you've learned that

                           cos( <em><u>30°</u></em> )  =  </span><span><span>(√3) / 2 </span>.

On a quiz, Tom received 2 points for each correct spelling word, and 4 points for each correct definition, Tom received 80 point
IRINA_888 [86]

Tom got 20 words correct and 10 definitions correct

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of correct spelling word, and y represent the number of correct definition. Hence:

2x + 4y = 80   (1)

Also:

x + y = 30   (2)

The solution to the equation is:

x = 20, y = 10

Tom got 20 words correct and 10 definitions correct

What is the perimeter of a rectangle that is 14 feet long and 8 feet wide?
g100num [7]
Perimeter = Length+Length+Width+Width

Perimeter = 2Length + 2Width
They will both get you the same answer.

Length = 14
Width = 8
P = 14 + 14 + 8 + 8 = 44 feet

Answer: D. 44 Feet
