By converting into parametric equations,

<span><span>x(θ)=r(θ)cosθ=cos2θ<span>cosθ
</span></span><span>y(θ)=r(θ)sinθ=cos2θsinθ</span></span>

By Product Rule,

<span>x'(θ)=−sin2θcosθ−cos2θsinθ</span>

<span>x'<span>(π/2)</span>=−<span>sin(π)</span><span>cos<span>(π/2)</span></span>−<span>cos(π)</span><span>sin<span>(π/2)</span></span>=1</span>

<span>y'(θ)=−sin2θsinθ+cos2θcosθ</span>

<span>y'<span>(π/2)</span>=−<span>sin(π)</span><span>sin<span>(π/2)</span></span>+<span>cos(π)</span><span>cos<span>(π/2)</span></span>=0</span>

So, the slope m of the curve can be found by

<span>m=<span>dy/dx</span><span>∣<span>θ=<span>π2
</span></span></span>= <span><span>y'<span>(π/2)/</span></span><span>x'<span>(π/2)
</span></span></span></span>=0/1

\bf{Hello!}

The answer is 140°

Because we can use exterior angle property here

<u>Exter</u><u>ior</u><u> </u><u>angl</u><u>e</u><u> property</u><u> </u><u>:</u> It states that exterior angle is the sum of two opposite interior angles

y = 120 + 20 = 140°

Solve 3-(2x-5)&lt;-4(x+2)
azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)

Remove unnecessary parentheses

3-2x+5=-4*(x+2)

Reorder the terms in parentheses

3-2x+5=+(-4x-8)

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+3-2x+5=-4x-8

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

-2x+4x=-8-3-5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+2x=-16

We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.

x=-8
