Recall that the tangent function is defined by

tan(<em>x</em>) = sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>)

Also recall the double angle identity for sine,

sin(2<em>x</em>) = 2 sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>x</em>)

Then the equation is the same as

3 sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) = 4 sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>x</em>)

Move everything to one side to prepare to factorize:

3 sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) - 4 sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>x</em>) = 0

sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) (3 - 4 cos²(<em>x</em>)) = 0

As long as cos(<em>x</em>) ≠ 0, we can omit the term in the denominator, so we're left with

sin(<em>x</em>) (3 - 4 cos²(<em>x</em>)) = 0

and so

sin(<em>x</em>) = 0   <u>or</u>   3 - 4 cos²(<em>x</em>) = 0

sin(<em>x</em>) = 0   <u>or</u>   cos²(<em>x</em>) = 3/4

sin(<em>x</em>) = 0   <u>or</u>   cos(<em>x</em>) = ±√3/2

On the interval [0, 2<em>π</em>),

• sin(<em>x</em>) = 0 for <em>x</em> = 0 and <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>

• cos(<em>x</em>) = √3/2 for <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/6 and <em>x</em> = 11<em>π</em>/6

• cos(<em>x</em>) = -√3/2 for <em>x</em> = 5<em>π</em>/6 and <em>x</em> = 7<em>π</em>/6

(None of these <em>x</em> make cos(<em>x</em>) = 0, so we don't have to omit any extraneous solutions.)

Plot the vertex and the axis of symmetry of this function on the provided graph.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

(-2,-6)

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the vertex take the number that's in the parathenses with the x and flip it's sign (in this case to a negative) which means we have

-2

 this is the x coordinate of the vertex.

Next take the number that's being subtracted (or added) on the outside and leave that as is (-6)

This is the y coordinate

which means we have (-2,-6)

the axis of symmetry is just the x coordinate of the graph

which is -2

Which has the greater surface area? A 6-centimeter cube or a rectangular prism with a 3 centimeter square base and a height of 1
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The prism

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cube is:

A=6L^2

where

L is the length of the side

For the cube in this problem,

L = 6 cm

So the surface area of the cube is

A=6\cdot 6^2 = 36 cm^2

The surface area of a rectangular prism with squared base is:

A=2L^2+4Lh

where

L is the length of the base

h is the height of the prism

For the prism in this problem,

L = 3 cm

h = 12 cm

Therefore,

A=2\cdot 3^2 + 4(3)(12)=162 cm^2

So, the prism has a greater surface area.
