Answer:

Cos 2theta = -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

tan theta = -2

tan theta = -2/1 = opp/adj

hyp^2 = (-2)^2+1^2

hyp = √4+1

hyp = √5

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin theta = -2/√5

Cos theta = adj/hyp

Cos theta = -2/√5

Cos 2theta = 1-2sin^2 theta

Cos 2theta = 1- 2(-2/√5)^2

Cos 2theta = 1- 2(4/5)

Cos 2theta = 1- 8/5

Cos 2theta = (5-8)/5

Cos 2theta = -3/5

Which graph represents the function y = 2x – 4? A coordinate plane with a line passing through (negative 4, 0) and (0, 2). A coo
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The third option: "A coordinate plane with a line passing through (0, negative 4) and (2, 0)."

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation defined by the function: y = 2x - 4 to check the (x, y) values they give you. If they both render true mathematical statements, those are indeed points on the plane that belong to the given line.

For the third case; the pairs (0,-4) and (2,0), both satisfy the equation of the line that is given.

For (0,-4):  y = 2x - 4 becomes:

(-4)=2(0)-4\\-4=0-4\\-4=-4 which is a TRUE statement

For (2,0):  y = 2x - 4 becomes:

(0)=2(2)-4\\0=4-4\\0=0 which is also a TRUE statement.

This option is the only one that verifies both given points as truly being part of the given line.

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of vertex of the functions =2x^2+4x-3
SVEN [57.7K]
Hello,

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry is like find the maximum or minimum point of this function.

f(x)=2x^2+4x-3\\\\\alpha=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{4}{4}=-1\\\\

The equation of the axis of symmetry is then :   x=-1

\beta=f(\alpha)=2(-1)^2+4(-1)-3=2-4-3=-5

Coordinates of vertex :   (\alpha,\beta)=(-1;-5)

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

M=(x1+x2 / 2 , y1+y2 / 2)

M=(-2+4 / 2 , 4+ -2 / 2)

M=(2 / 2 , 2 / 2)

M=(1,1)
