For sin2x+cosx=0, use a double-angle or half-angle formula to simplify the equation and then find all solutions of the equation
Archy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a trignometric equation in x, as

sin2x+cosx=0

TO make it in one trig ratio, we can replace sin2x as 2sinx cosx

WE get now

2sinxcosx+cosx=0\\

cosx(2sinx+1)=0\\cosx=0, sinx =-0.5\\

Principal solution is x=\frac{\pi}{2} , \frac{-\pi}{6}

x = ±π/2 + 2kπ, where k is any integer or

x=±pi/6 +k pi, where k is any integer.

General solution is

For which pairs of functions is (f * g) (x)?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The pairs of functions that best represent the equation are f(x)=x² and g(x)=1/x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you will have to multiply each equation in the answer choices until you find the pair that has a product of x.

Let's start with the first answer choice.

(f * g)(x)

<em>f(x)=x²</em>

<em>g(x)=1/x</em>

Now, we multiply these terms together.

x² * 1/x = x²/x

Now, divide x from x². When you are dividing exponents, the exponential numbers subtract. So, since there is no exponent on x, then we assume this exponent to be 1. So, when dividing you will subtract 1 from 2.

x²/x = x

So, the answer to the problem is answer choice A. These functions multiply together to get you a final product of x.

Stephen's lunch bill is currently at $8.33. Stephen orders a fruit salad for take-out, and wants to leave $2.25 as a tip for his
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the change in the bill is shown below:

Total money he has to pay is

= $8.33 + $2.25

= $13.47

And, he have  

= $10 + $5

= $15

So, the change would be

= $15 - $13.47

= $1.53

a. For what values of x does f (x )equals 3 x plus 3 sine x have a horizontal tangent​ line? b. For what values of x does f (x )
laila [671]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the value of x=\pi

(b) Therefore the value of x =\frac{\pi}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal tangent line: The first order derivative of a function gives the slope of the tangent of the function. The slope of horizontal line is zero.If the slope of tangent line is zero then the tangent line is called horizontal tangent line.

(a)

Given function is,

f(x)= 3x+3sin x

Differential with respect to x

f'(x)=3+3cos x

For horizontal tangent line, f'(x)=0

3+ 3 cos x= 0

⇒3 cos x=-3

⇒cos x=-1

⇒x = 180° =\pi

Therefore the value of x=\pi

(b)

Given that, the slope is 3.

Then,f'(x)=3

3+ 3 cos x= 3

⇒3 cos x= 3-3

⇒cos x=0

⇒x = 90° =\frac{\pi}{2}

Therefore the value of x =\frac{\pi}{2}

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to y = 1/4 that passes through (-2, -6)
abruzzese [7]

Perpendicular lines, slope is opposite and reciprocal

so slope of new line = - 4

passes through (-2, -6) in point-slope form

y + 6 = -4(x + 2)

Answer is C. y + 6 = -4 (x + 2)
