Answer:

60°, 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ {tan}^{2}x }{2}  - 2 {cos}^{2}x = 1 \\   \\  \frac{ {tan}^{2}x  - 4{cos}^{2}x }{2} = 1 \\  \\ {tan}^{2}x  - 4{cos}^{2}x = 2 \\  \\  \frac{{sin}^{2}x}{{cos}^{2}x} - 4{cos}^{2}x = 2 \\  \\ \frac{{sin}^{2}x - 4{cos}^{4}x}{{cos}^{2}x}  = 2 \\  \\ {sin}^{2}x - 4{cos}^{4}x = 2{cos}^{2}x \\  \\ 4{cos}^{4}x  + 2{cos}^{2}x - {sin}^{2}x = 0  \\  \\ 4{cos}^{4}x  + 2{cos}^{2}x  +  {cos}^{2}x  - 1= 0  \\  \\ 4{cos}^{4}x  + 3{cos}^{2}x   - 1= 0  \\  \\ 4{cos}^{4}x  + 4{cos}^{2}x -   {cos}^{2}x - 1= 0  \\  \\4{cos}^{2}x({cos}^{2}x + 1) - 1({cos}^{2}x + 1) = 0 \\  \\ ({cos}^{2}x + 1)(4{cos}^{2}x - 1) = 0 \\  \\ ({cos}^{2}x + 1) = 0 \: or \: (4{cos}^{2}x - 1) = 0 \\  \\ {cos}^{2}x =  - 1 \: or \: 4{cos}^{2}x = 1 \\  \\ {cos}x = \sqrt{ - 1}  \: which \: is \: not \: possible \\  \therefore \: {cos}^{2}x =  \frac{1}{4}  \\  \\ \therefore \: {cos}x =   \pm\frac{1}{2} \\  \\ \therefore \: {cos}x =   \frac{1}{2}  \: or \: {cos}x =    - \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\ \therefore \: {cos}x =   {cos}60 \degree \: or \: {cos}x =     {cos}120 \degree \\  \\ \therefore \:x = 60 \degree \:  \: or  \: \: x  = 120 \degree

Which of these is equivalent to 1 over x to the power of 5 ? 1 fifth x negative x to the power of 5 x to the power of 5 x to the
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

x^-5 = x to the power of negative 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of these is equivalent to 1 over x to the power of 5 ?

Mathematically this is expressed as

(1/x)⁵

We have a rule when it comes to expressing power

(1/a)^b = a^-b

Hence, applying this rule to our question

(1/x)⁵ = (1/x)^5

= x^-5

This is written in words as:

x to the power of negative 5

Please help me with this problem! I am so confused: This system of equations shows x by itself on the left side of one equation.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

x=-6

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-y-2        x=-y-2             x=-y-2         x=-y-2         x=-y-2   x=-4-2   x=-6

0.5x+y = 1  0.5(-y-2)+y=1  -0.5y-1+y=1  -y-2+2y=2  y=4       y=4       y=4

The graph below shows the line of best fit for data collected on the number of cell phones and cell phone cases sold at a local
Dovator [93]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is given by y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

and

slope (m) is given by:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where (x_1,y_1) are the first set of point in the line and (x_2,y_2) is the second set of point

<em>Let's take 2 points arbitrarily. (0,0) & (25,20)</em>

<em />

<em>Let's plug it and find the equation:</em>

<em>m=\frac{20-0}{25-0}=0.8</em>

<em>Now</em>

<em>y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-0=0.8(x-0)\\y=0.8x</em>

<em />

<em>C is the correct answer.</em>
