Answer:

∠a = 10°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of ∠a = x

The measure of ∠b = 4x-30

It is also mentioned that the measure a and measure b are vertical angles. We need to find the value of a.

For vertically opposite angles,

∠a = ∠b

x = 4x-30

4x-30=x

Taking like terms together,

4x-x= 30

3x = 30

x = 10

So, the meausre of ∠a is equal to 10°.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last choice. It travels for 2 hours, then stops for 1 hour, and finally travels again for 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first segment of the trip, the car goes from 0 to 2 hours and the line is moving up. Therefore, it traveled for 2 hours.

In the second segment, the line went straight horizontal for 1 hour. That means the distance didn't change, in other words, it didn't move.

In the last segment, it moved up again for 2 hours.

Which of the following is a solution to 2cos2x − cos x − 1 = 0?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Solution for the given equation is, $x = 0^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that : $2\cos^2x -\cos x -1 =0$

Let $\cos x =y$

then our equation become;

$2y^2-y-1= 0$ .....[1]

A quadratic equation is of the form:

$ax^2+bx+c =0$ .....[2] where a, b and c are coefficient and the solution is given by;

$x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Comparing equation [1] and [2] we get;

a = 2 b = -1 and c =-1

then;

$y = \frac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(2)(-1)}}{2(2)}$

Simplify:

$y = \frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{1+8}}{4}$

$y = \frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$

$y = \frac{ 1 \pm 3}{4}$

$y = \frac{1+3}{4}$ and $y = \frac{1 -3}{4}$

Simplify:

y = 1 and $y = -\frac{1}{2}$

Substitute y = cos x we have;

$\cos x = 1$

⇒ $x = 0^{\circ}$

and

$\cos x = -\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $x = 120^{\circ} \text{and} x = 240^{\circ}$

The solution set: $\{0^{\circ}, 120^{\circ} , 240^{\circ}\}$

Therefore, the solution for the given equation $2\cos^2x -\cos x -1 =0$ is, $0^{\circ}$
