Which of the following angles is in the solution set of sec^2θ - 3secθ - 2 = 0 for 0° ≤ θ < 360°.

1 answer:

4 0

1 / cos^2 O - 3 / cos O - 2 = 0
1 - 3 cos O - 2 cos^2 O = 0

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

cos O = 0.2807 , -1.78 ( -1.78 cannot be a solution)

O = 74 degrees (from 0.2807) another solution is 360-74 = 286 degrees

Its D

What is the solution of the system?

kakasveta [241]

Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.

... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)

... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms

... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3

Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.

... 2x +4(-6) = -12

... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24

... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).

Aaron and noah wanted to have a contest to see which of their paper airplanes could fly the longest distance. Aaron's plane flew

Marina CMI [18]

Aaron's plane flew 3.21 meters further than Noah's plane.

Explanation

Aaron's plane flew 4 meters and Noah's plane flew 79 centimeters.

So, first we need to convert 79 centimeters into meters.

We know that, 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter

So, 79 centimeters = $(0.01*79)meter= 0.79 meter$

Now, the difference of distance between Aaron's plane and Noah's plane is $(4-0.79) meters = 3.21 meters$

Suppose you deal three cards from a regular deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that they will all be jacks?

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Probability of getting three jacks = $\frac { 3 } { 5 2 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that you deal three cards from a regular deck which contains 52 cards.

We are to find the probability of getting all three Jack cards.

We know that there are a total of 4 jacks in a regular deck of 52 cards.

Therefore, the probability of getting three jacks = $\frac { 3 } { 5 2 }$
