Sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1
sin^2(x) = 1 - cos^2(x)

Replace sin^2(x) in the equation with 1 - cos^2(x)
2(1 - cos^2(x)) - 5cosx + 1 = 0
2 - 2cos^2(x) - 5cosx + 1 = 0
2cos^2(x) + 5cos x - 3 = 0
Let cosx = y
2y^2 + 5y - 3 = 0
(2y -1)(y + 3) = 0
y = cosx so:
cosx = ½,
cosx = -3 (gives no solutions since cos domain is -1 to 1)
Therefore x = pi/3, (2pi - pi/3) = 5/3pi

Answer: x = Π/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry identity,

sin²x + cos²x = 1

sin²x = 1 - cos²x ... (1)

Given the equation,

2sin²x−5cosx+1=0 ... (2)

Substituting equation 1 into 2, we will have;

2(1-cos²x)-5cos(x)+1 = 0

2-2cos²x-5cos(x)+1 = 0

-2cos²x-5cos(x)+3 = 0

Multiplying through by minus will give;

2cos²x+5cos(x)-3 = 0

Let P = cos(x)... (3)

The equation will become;

2P²+5P-3 = 0

Factorizing the equation gotten, we have;

2P²+6P-P-3 = 0

2P(P+3)-1(P+3) = 0

(2P-1)(P+3) = 0

2P-1 = 0; P = 1/2

P+3 = 0; P = -3

Therefore P = 1/2 and -3

Substituting the value of P in equation 3, we have;

cos(x) = 1/2

x = arccos1/2

x = 60° = Π/3

Since the second value of P is negative, it gives no solution so we will neglect it.

Therefore, x = Π/3 for 0<x<2Π

Find the measure of each interior angle and each exterior angle of a regular 20-gon (a twenty-sided polygon).Measure of each int
ra1l [238]

Given a regular 20-gon ( a 20 sided polygon )

The measure of each interior angle will be given by:

\frac{(n-2)}{n}\cdot180

where n is the number of sides

Substitute with n = 20

So, the measure of each interior angle =

\frac{20-2}{20}\cdot180=\frac{18}{20}\cdot180=162

The sum of exterior angles = 360

So, the measure of each exterior angle = 360/20 = 18

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.
Ierofanga [76]
Since it is stated that the machine he bought only predict about 80%. Thus, about 20% are still possible that there are oils in the land that he owned.
In a 100% value = 80% were the 0 possibillites detected by the machine and 20% are still the possibility that it has an oil.
=> 80% = 0.80
=> 20% = 0.20
In the given choices. letter B has the closest value to the 20% that we expected.
Thus, let's have B as an answer.

Show work please help
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

20 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Your work is partially correct.

Assuming that the sides marked 8 yds and 2 yds are parallel, then the area of the trapezoid is

A =    ( 8 yds + 2 yds)

        ------------------------ * 4  =  20 yd^2

What appears to be the range of the part of the exponential function graphed on the grid?
Natali [406]

The domain of a function is the set of x values for which it is defined. The range of the given graph will be -2≤x<7.

<h3>What is the domain and range of a function?</h3>

The domain of a function is the set of x values for which it is defined, whereas the range is the set of y values for which it is defined.

As it can be seen that the value on the y-axis is defined for every value of x between -2 to 7, also the value of x  is also defined for x=-2.

Hence, the range of the given graph will be -2≤x<7.
