The difference between two numbers is 8. Twice the number is 4 more than the larger number. What is the smaller number?

Answer:

If the two numbers are x and y, then:

x + y = 8

18 - 2x = 4y - 2.

When we subtract y from both sides in our first equation we get:

x = 8 - y, so:

18 - 2(8 - y) = 4y - 2

18 - 16 + 2y = 4y - 2

2 + 2y = 4y - 2

2y = 4

y = 2

Since x + y = 8, and y = 2, x = 6, and since 6 > 2, the larger number is 6.

2cos^2x = 1 <br><br> Solve for 0-360 degrees
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

45,135,315,225

Step-by-step explanation:

2cos^2x = 1

Divide each side by 2

cos^2x = 1/2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( cos^2 x) = ±sqrt (1/2)

cos x  =±sqrt (1/2)

Make into two separate equations

cos x  =sqrt (1/2)    cos x = - sqrt(1/2)

Take the inverse cos of each side

cos ^-1 cos (x) = cos ^-1 (sqrt (1/2))   cos ^-1 cos (x) = cos ^-1 (-sqrt (1/2))

x = cos ^-1 (sqrt (1/2))   x = cos ^-1 (-sqrt (1/2))

x = 45  +360 n              x = 135+ 360n

x = 315+360 n               x =225+360n

Between 0 and 360
