Well, first of all, the equation in your question isn't clear.  I decided that you intended to write the equation

-20 cos²(x) - 3 cos(x) = -2

If this is not the correct equation, then you should stop reading right here.  Everything else from here on is nonsense, and you should report my answer.

= = = = =

If that <u>IS</u> the correct equation, then ...

Multiply each side by -1 . . . 20 cos²(x) + 3 cos(x) = 2

Subtract 2 from each side . . . 20 cos²(x) + 3 cos(x) - 2 = 0

This is a quadratic equation in 'cos(x)' .  I messed around for a while trying to factor it, and then I gave up and used the Quadratic Formula.

Like any other quadratic equation, this one has two roots:

(1).  cos(x) = -119/40  or  -0.475

(2).  cos(x) = 7/40  or  0.175

For the first one, the angle 'x' is <em>118.36°</em>  or  <em>241.64°</em>

For the second one, the angle 'x' is <em>79.92°</em>  or  <em>280.08°</em>

So the original equation ... the one with all the cosines in it ... actually has four (4) solutions.

You get the same figure if you reflect it across a horizontal or vertical line through its center (reflectional symmetry).

You get the same figure if you rotate it 180° (rotational symmetry)

Each point corresponds to another equidistant from the center on a line through the center (point symmetry).

The 4th selection is appropriate.

What is the vertex, y intercept, and a value of this equation? "y=-x^2-4x-1"?
cluponka [151]
Hello : 
y= -x²-4x-1
y = - (x²+4x+1)
y = - ((x²+4x+4)-4+1)
y = - ((x+2)²-3)
y = -(x+2)²+3     the vertex is A(-2 ; 3)

If twice a​ number, added to 3 is divided by the number plus 7​, the result is five thirds. Find the number.
Alina [70]

Answer: 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n.

Now,

twice a​ number =>> 2n

added to 3 =>> 2n + 3

is divided by the number plus 7 is five thirds =>> (2n + 3) / (n + 7) = 5 / 3

(2n + 3) = (5 / 3) × (n + 7)

3 × (2n + 3) = 5 × (n + 7)

6n+9 = 5n + 35

6n - 5n = 35 - 9

n = 26
