Hello,
We suppose x≠+/-π/2.
2cos x - √2=0
==>cos x=√2/2
==>x= π/4 or x=3π/4 (modulo 2π)
Solutions will be located in the shaded region. Since this is a “less than” problem, ordered pairs on the boundary line are not included in the solution set. These values are located in the shaded region, so are solutions. (When substituted into the inequality x–y<3.
Parallel lines have the same slope.
'a' is the only choice that has the same slope (-5/4)
as the line in the question.
In order to answer the question, you need to know the formula area of an ellipse.
Area = pi * a * b
a = minor axis
b = major semi-axis
Area = 3.14 * 20 * 14
Area = 879.20 cm^2
Here is your answer. If you need an explanation, let me know.
