Ignore above
your equation is 2(cosx)^2-3cosx+1=0
use quadratic formula to get results
you will end up with
cosx=1 or cosx=1/2
so, x=0 or x=pi/3
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (9 - -1)/ ((2 - 4)
= (9+1)/(2-4)
= 10/-2
= -5
Answer:
7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> represent the measures of the seven same-size angles,
x/2 ----> represent the measure of the one that is "two times smaller."
we know that
The sum of internal angles of a polygon can be calculated as:

where
n is the number of sides of the polygon
In this case
n=8 (octagon)
substitute

so
The linear equation that represent this problem is

solve for x

so

therefore
7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees
Answer:
Length = 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
If x = 2
Perimeter = 8x - 4
= 8(2) - 4
= 16 - 4
= 12 inches
Width = 3x - 4
= 3(2) - 4
= 6 - 4
= 2 inches
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
12 = 2(length + 2)
12 = 2length + 4
12 - 4 = 2 length
8 = 2 length
Length = 8/2
Length = 4 inches
15 boxes is three times 5 boxes so the number of dishes in 15 boxes is
3 * 125
= 375 dishes
