Answer:
x=π/2 ,3π/2
Step-by-step explanation:
cot x(csc x+1)=0
either cot x=0
tanx=∞=tan (π/2)
x=π/2
or csc x=-1
or sin x=-1=-sin (π/2)=sin (π+π/2)=sin (3π/2)
x=3π/2
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, so no.
2 x 1/4 is the same as 1/4 + 1/4
The correct question is
Which is the best approximation to a solution of the equation
e^(2x) = 2e^{x) + 3?
we have that
e^(2x) = 2e^{x) + 3-----------> e^(2x)- 2e^{x) - 3=0
the term
e^(2x)- 2e^{x)----------> (e^x)²-2e^(x)*(1)+1²-1²------> (e^x-1)²-1
then
e^(2x)- 2e^{x) - 3=0--------> (e^x-1)²-1-3=0------> (e^x-1)²=4
(e^x-1)=2--------> e^x=3
x*ln(e)=ln(3)---------> x=ln(3)
ln(3)=1.10
hence
x=1.10
the answer is x=1.10
