6 0

1.x^2 +6x - 4 = 6x
X^2 + 6x -4 - 6x = 0
X^2 - 4 = 0
By difference of two squares :
X^2 - 4 = 0 can be written as (x-2) (x+2) = 0
(X-2)=0 therefore x= 2

(X+2)=0 therefore x= -2

2. X^2 - 8x = -6x
X^2 -8x + 6x = 0
X^2 - 2x = 0
X(X-2) = 0
X= 0, X= 2

Solve using algebraic equation: <br> 5sin2x=3cosx<br><br> (No exponents)

DaniilM [7]

$5\sin2x=3\cos x\iff10\sin x\cos x=3\cos x$

by the double angle identity for sine. Move everything to one side and factor out the cosine term.

$10\sin x\cos x=3\cos x\iff10\sin x\cos x-3\cos x=\cos x(10\sin x-3)=0$

Now the zero product property tells us that there are two cases where this is true,

$\begin{cases}\cos x=0\\10\sin x-3=0\end{cases}$

In the first equation, cosine becomes zero whenever its argument is an odd integer multiple of $\dfrac\pi2$ , so $x=\dfrac{(2n+1)\pi}2$ where $n[/tex ]is any integer.\\Meanwhile,\\[tex]10\sin x-3=0\implies\sin x=\dfrac3{10}$

which occurs twice in the interval $[0,2\pi)$ for $x=\arcsin\dfrac3{10}$ and $x=\pi-\arcsin\dfrac3{10}$ . More generally, if you think of $x$ as a point on the unit circle, this occurs whenever $x$ also completes a full revolution about the origin. This means for any integer $n$ , the general solution in this case would be $x=\arcsin\dfrac3{10}+2n\pi$ and $x=\pi-\arcsin\dfrac3{10}+2n\pi$ .

The graph of f(x)=3•2^x -3 is shown below. G(x) is a transformation of f(x). How would you write the equation for the function g

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the appropriate equation, notice the red graph has shifted up about 6 units. This means that $3*2^x-3$ which is shifted by -3 will move 6 up. -3+6= 3. This means the function will have +3. Only B and C are options. Now test a point. Notice the red function crosses the y-axis at about 5 or 6 when x=0.
