Answer:

Theta = 0, 60 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 sin^2 theta + 3 cos theta = 3

Using the identity sin ^2 theta = 1 - cos^2 theta :

2(1 - cos^2 theta) + 3 cos theta = 3

2 - 2cos^2 theta) + 3 cos theta = 3

2 cos^2 theta - 3 cos theta + 3 - 2 = 0

2 cos^2 theta - 3 cos theta + 1 = 0

(2 cos theta - 1)(cos theta - 1) = 0

cos theta = 1/2 , cos theta = 1

Theta = 60 degrees or theta = 0

Answer:

D. g(x) = (x - 5)² + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a graph is translated horizontally, the value will affect x inside of the parentheses. For example, (x + #) or (x - #).

If a function is translated to the right, there will be a (-) sign. If a function is translated to the left, there will be a (+) sign.

This function needs to be translated 5 units to the right. Therefore, the equation will be: g(x) = (x - 5)² + 3

A diagonal shortcut across a rectangular lot is 130 feet long. The lot is 50 feet long. What is the other dimension of the lot

ryzh [129]

We use the pithagorean formula: x^2 = 130^2 - 50^2 = 16900 -2500 = 14400;
then, x = $\sqrt{14400}$ = 120 feet has the other dimension of the lot.

How can you determine the slope and the y- intercept of a line from a graph?

Molodets [167]

Slope: Take two points from the graph, and do y-y, over x-x.

for ex. (1,2) and (2,4) do 4-2 over 2-1. your slope is 2/1= 2

y-intercept: find the one point on the graph that is exactly on the y-axis.

for ex. (4,0)= your y-intercept is 4

Describe the transformation from y= x + 4 to y= .5x + 4 Group of answer choices compresses stretches shifts right 4 shifts left

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

This type of transformation is a horizontal stretch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = x + 4$

$y = .5x + 4$

Required

Determine the type of transformation

The first function can be expressed as:

$f(x) = x + 4$

While the second function is:

$g(x) = f(0.5x)$

Solving f(0.5x), we have to substitute 0.5x for x in $f(x) = x + 4$

$f(0.5x) = 0.5x + 4$

So:

The second function is:

$g(x) = 0.5x + 4$

This type of transformation is a horizontal stretch.

i.e. f(x) stretched to g(x)
