2cos^2x+3cosx-2=0 ...?

1 answer:

3 0

Its like a polynomial.

cosx=x

so it'll be like

2x^2+3x-2=0

<span>(2x−1)(x+2)
</span>
which makes your life easy because you do not have to solve cos(x)=−2 because it cannot be, so only solve cos(x)=1/2

If x+a is a factor of 2x²+2ax+5x+10,find a.

vazorg [7]

If $x+a$ is a factor of the polynomial, it means that $-a$ is a root of the polynomial.

In fact, if a polynomial $p(x)$ has a root $x_0$ (i.e. $p(x_0)=0$ ), then the polynomial is divisible by $(x-x_0)$

In your case, you know that the polynomial is divisible by $(x+a)=(x-(-a))$ , so $-a$ is a solution.

Let's evaluate $p(-a)$ and set it to zero:

$2(-a)^2+2a(-a)+5(-a)+10 = 0 \iff 2a^2-2a^2-5a+10=0 \iff -5a+10 = 0 \iff a = 2$

We can check the answer: if $a=2$ the polynomial becomes

$2x^2+2(2)x+5x+10 = 2x^2+9x+10$

And we're claiming that $-a=-2$ is a root of this polynomial:

$2(-2)^2+9(-2)+10 = 2\cdot 4 - 18 + 10 = 0$

Find the percent of increase to the nearest whole from 12 to 20

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase we use the formula

<h3> $Percentage \: change = \frac{change}{original \: \: quantity} \times 100\%$ </h3>

From the question

The original value = 12

To find the change we subtract the smaller value from the larger one

That's

Change = 20 - 12 = 8

So the percentage increase is

<h3> $\frac{8}{12} \times 100 \%\\ = \frac{2}{3} \times 100\% \\ = 66.67\%$ </h3>

We have the final answer as

$67\%$ to the nearest whole number

Hope this helps you
