On your calculator, make sure you're in radian mode, not degree mode, that you are in a trig coordinate plane (do this by hitting "zoom" and choosing ZTrig), and when you enter the function into the "y =", you have to enter it in like this: 7cos(2x)-3. Hit "graph" and you'll see that the wave goes through the x-axis in 4 places within your specified interval. Hit 2nd and "trace" and then "zero". Move your cursor so it's just above the x-axis where the curve goes through and hit enter, then move it so it's just below the x-axis where the curve goes through and hit enter again. Hit enter a 3rd time, and you SHOULD see that your x has a value while y = 0. Do that for all of the places where the curve goes through the x-axis. That's how you find the zeros of a trig curve (or any curve, for that matter) on a calculator. The zeros are the solutions. If this was solvable like a regular equation, using trig identities and right triangles, you wouldn't have to use your calculator. But just like when you go to factor a second degree polynomial and you're having trouble with it you can use the quadratic formula and it's never-fail, neither is your calculator.
Well to find the area of a triangle is 1/2 base times height
Answer:
(x + 8) / 4 = (x - 3) / 2 | *4
x + 8 = 2 * (x - 3)
x + 8 = 2 * x - 6
8 = x - 6
14 = x
The number is 14.
(14 + 8) / 4 = (14 - 3) / 2
22 / 4 = 11 / 2
5.5 = 5.5
Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
By the angle bisector theorem, 
Answer:
<u>Options B and D</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
6x² + x - 1 = 0
6x² + 3x - 2x - 1 = 0
3x(2x + 1) - 1(2x + 1) = 0
(3x - 1)(2x + 1)
x = 1/3 and -1/2
<u>Options B and D</u>
