Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.
Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.
B. Standard form
Hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
I took a picture instead, i hope u don't mind
I assume you're asked to solve
4 cos²(<em>x</em>) - 7 cos(<em>x</em>) + 3 = 0
Factor the left side:
(4 cos(<em>x</em>) - 3) (cos(<em>x</em>) - 1) = 0
Then either
4 cos(<em>x</em>) - 3 = 0 <u>or</u> cos(<em>x</em>) - 1 = 0
cos(<em>x</em>) = 3/4 <u>or</u> cos(<em>x</em>) = 1
From the first case, we get
<em>x</em> = cos⁻¹(3/4) + 2<em>nπ</em> <u>or</u> <em>x</em> = -cos⁻¹(3/4) + 2<em>nπ</em>
and from the second,
<em>x</em> = <em>nπ</em>
where <em>n</em> is any integer.
