Answer:
Isolate the angle 2x, by following the reverse "order of operations".
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Step 1: Add 1 to both sides:
2
cos
2
(
2
x
)
=
1
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2:
cos
2
(
2
x
)
=
1
2
Step 3: Take the square root of both sides:
cos
(
2
x
)
=
√
2
2
or
cos
(
2
x
)
=
−
√
2
2
(don't forget the positive and negative solutions!)
Step 4: Use inverse of cosine to find the angles:
2
x
=
cos
−
1
(
√
2
2
)
or
2
x
=
cos
−
1
(
−
√
2
2
)
Step 5: Find angles that work:
2
x
=
π
4
or
2
x
=
7
π
4
or
2
x
=
3
π
4
or
2
x
=
5
π

Step 6: Solve for x:
x
=
π

Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be<span>27 * 3/2 = 40.5</span>
In order for two linear lines to be perpendicular, the product of their gradient must be -1.
Let's take y = x + b and y = -x + b
This is already in the form: y = mx + b, where m is 1 and -1 respectively.
Since the product of their gradient is -1, they are said to be perpendicular.
