The answer is b because it is equivalent.
The answer to this would be −0.333
Answer:
The line passes through (4, -7) and (5, -10).
Step-by-step explanation:
When x = 4, y = 5 - 3(4), or 5 - 12, or -7. Thus the point (4, -7) lies on the graph. Similarly y = 5 - 3(5) = -10 when x = 5. Thus, the line also goes through (5, -10). Plot these two points and draw a line through them. Doing this will result in the desired graph.
Answer:
x ∈ {2π/3, π, 4π/3} ≈ {2.09440, 3.14159, 4.18879}
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be put into standard form by adding 1:
2cos²(x) +3cos(x) +1 = 0
(2cos(x) +1)(cos(x) +1) = 0
Values of cos(x) that make this true* are ...
cos(x) = -1/2 . . . . . . . . . true for x=2π/3, x=4π/3
cos(x) = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . true for x=π
