If <em>x</em> = -1, you have
2(-1) + 3 cos(-1) + <em>e</em> ⁻¹ ≈ -0.0112136 < 0
and if <em>x</em> = 0, you have
2(0) + 3 cos(0) + <em>e</em> ⁰ = 4 > 0
The function <em>f(x)</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 3 cos(<em>x</em>) + <em>eˣ</em> is continuous over the real numbers, so the intermediate value theorem applies, and it says that there is some -1 < <em>c</em> < 0 such that <em>f(c)</em> = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
using trig, tangent is equal to opposite over adjacent.
in this case, the angle is 45, opposite is 7, and adjacent is a.
thus tan 45° = 7/a
solve for a to get a = 7/tan 45° = 4.32
The correct answer is: [D]: "distributive" .
