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.

Jamal has $15.00 to spend at the concession stand. He buys nachos for $7.50, and he wants to purchase some sour straws for $1.50
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

x = 5

$15.00 is the total amount of money Jamal has right? To find the remaining amount of money Jamal has subtract 15 - 7.5 (price of nachos) = 7.5 (remaining amount of money Jamal has.) Now for part 2, since the sour straws are $1.50 each you just have to multiply X to get close as close to the remaining amount of money as possible.

1.50× 5 (amount of sour straws) is equal to 7.50 (price of 5 sour straws).

To check your answer let's add the price of nachos (7.50) and 5 sour straws (7.50) which is 15.00 the total amount Jamal brought with him.

Let me know if you have any other questions :)
