2cos^2x+cosx-1 = 0

2cos^2x + 2cosx - cosx - 1 = 0

(2cos^2x + 2cosx) - (cosx + 1) = 0

2cosx(cosx + 1) - 1(cosx + 1) = 0

(cosx + 1)(2cosx - 1) = 0

cosx+1 = 0 or 2cosx-1 = 0

cosx+1 = 0 gives cosx = -1, x = PI

2cosx-1 = 0 gives cosx = 1/2, x = PI/3 or x = 5PI/3

answer: x = PI/3 or x = PI or x = 5PI/3

What is the mean absolute deviation of her math scores? 5.4 6.4 7.8. o 8.8

lara [203]

Answer:

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of her Math scores would be 1.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean: 5.4 + 6.4 + 7.8 + 8.8 = 28.4/4 = 7.1

7.1 - 5.4 = 1.7

7.1 - 6.4 = 0.7

7.1 - 7.8 = 0.7

7.1 - 8.8 = 1.7

Mean Absolute Deviation: 1.7 + 0.7 + 0.7 + 1.7 = 4.8/4 = 1.2

hope this helps :)
