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

galben [10]

Answer:

$400

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we need to find area of trapezoid first

area of trap formula:( (b1+b2)/2)h

b1=5

b2=3

h=4

(5+3)/2=4

4*4=16

there are 16 square feet in thtat trapezoid

hence, 25*16= $400

the glass cost $400

(a) If U = {y:5 20), P= {7,8,12, 19; and Q = {12, 15, 17, 19), find PU Q and P-Q.

storchak [24]

Solution,

P={7,8,12,19}

Q={12,15,17,19}

P U Q={7,8,12,19} U { 12,15,17,19}

 ={ 7,8,12,15,17,19}

P-Q={7,8,12,19}-{12,15,17,19}

 ={7,8}

Hope it helps
