The graph of the function is a parabola.
The nose comes down as far as y=4 but no farther.
That happens when (x - 2)² = 0 , and THAT happens when x = 2 .
Step-by-step explanation:
sec x − cos x
Secant is the inverse of cosine:
(1 / cos x) − cos x
Find the common denominator:
(1 / cos x) − (cos² x / cos x)
Subtract:
(1 − cos² x) / cos x
1y - 1/x = 1/60 = x*y =60 = x=60/y
3y - 2(60/y) = 6
3y^2-120=6y
3(y^2-40-2y) =0
y^2-40-2y=0
y = 7.4
3(7.4)-2x=6
22.2-2x = 6
2x = -16.2
x = -8.1
Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve
3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
| x - 2 | = 4
The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus
x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 6
OR
- (x - 2) = 4
- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 2
As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions
x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6
