Answer:

k = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines will be parallel if their slopes are equal.  To find the slope of each line, write its equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).  In other words, solve each equation for y and look at the coefficient of x.

2x + 3y = 4k

3y = -2x + 4k

y = (-2/3)x + 4k/3

The slope of the first line is -2/3.

x - 2ky = 7

-2ky = -x + 7

y = [1/(2k)]x - 7/(2k)

The slope of the second line is 1/(2k).

If the slopes are equal, then

1/(2k) = -2/3

Multiply by 2k.

1 = (-2/3)(2k) = (-4/3)k

1 = (-4/3)k

k = -3/4

4 cos²x – 1=0<br><br> What is the solution?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

$x=\frac{\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{5\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{4\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

or

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}+\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z} $

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4\text{cos}^2(x)-1=0\\4\text{cos}^2(x)=1\\

$cos(x)=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1}{4} } $

$cos(x)=\pm\frac{1}{2}  $

So, when cos(x) is equal to

$\frac{1}{2}   \text{ and } -\frac{1}{2}$    ?

For

$cos(x)=\frac{1}{2} $

We are talking about x = 60º and x = 300º, Quadrant I and IV, respectively. In radians:

$x=\frac{\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{5\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

or

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}+\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z} $

For

$cos(x)=-\frac{1}{2} $

We are talking about x = 120º and x = 240º, Quadrant II and III, respectively. In radians:

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

$\:x=\frac{4\pi }{3}+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb{Z}$

or

$x=\frac{2\pi }{3}+\pi n, n\in \mathbb{Z}$

What is the measure of one interior angle of a polygon that has 50 sides
pashok25 [27]

Answer: 172.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

For a regular polynomial of N sides, the sum of all interior angles must be equal to:

Sum = (N - 2)*180°.

In this case we have N = 50

Then:

Sum = (50 - 2)*180° = 48*180°

Now, if all the 50 interior angles have the same measure, then the measure of each one will be equal to the quotient between the sum and the number of sides, this is:

Sum/50 = (48/50)*180° = 172.8°

Then the interior angles of a regular polygon of 50 sides is 172.8°
