If sin^2(x) - 2sin(x) = 2, then sin(x) = _____.

1 answer:

3 0

Let z = sin(x).
.. z^2 -2z = 2
.. z^2 -2z +1 = 3
.. (z -1)² = 3
.. z -1 = ±√3
.. z = 1 -√3 . . . . . the positive solution is extraneous

sin(x) = 1 -√3

Solve the equation below for x. -1 2(3x - 4) = 11

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

x= 37/36

Step-by-step explanation:

−12(3x−4)=11

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−12(3x−4)=11

(−12)(3x)+(−12)(−4)=11(Distribute)

−36x+48=11

Step 2: Subtract 48 from both sides.

−36x+48−48=11−48

−36x=−37

Step 3: Divide both sides by -36.

−36x

−36

−37

A bag of marbles has 6 red marbles and 7 green marbles in it. What is the percent probability of pulling a green marble out of t

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

If a bag contains 4 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 7 green marbles and a marble is randomly selected from the bag, what is the probability that it is blue? P=3/(3+4+7)=3/14 because each of 14 marbles is equally likely to be drawn.

What is tan angle QTR if line PR is tangent to circle T at Q, and TS = 1 cm?

lions [1.4K]

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

In the diagram:
TQ is the short leg or the opposite
QR is the long leg or the adjacent
TR is the hypotenuse. TS is part of the hypotenuse.

Tan(QTR) = TQ / QR

TS = 1 ; TQ = TS so, TQ = 1

Tan(QTR) = 1/QR

I think the answer is C.RQ

A rectangular box has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of h cm. The volume of the box is given by V = x2h

creativ13 [48]

It is given in the question that

A rectangular box has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of h cm. The volume of the box is given by

$V = x^2h cm^3$

And the edge length of the base is 12 cm, the edge length of the base is decreasing at a rate of 2 cm/min, the height of the box is 6 cm, and the height is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/min.

Here we differentiate V with respect to t, and we use product rule, that is

$V = 2xh(dx/dt)+ x^2(dh/dt)$
