Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2cosΘ - [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 0 ( add [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] to both sides )
2cosΘ = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ( divide both sides by 2 )
cosΘ = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex]
Since cosΘ > 0 then Θ is in first and fourth quadrants, hence
Θ = [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex] ( [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex] ) = [tex]\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex]
OR
Θ = 2π - [tex]\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7\pi }{4}[/tex]
solutions are Θ = [tex]\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{7\pi }{4}[/tex]
Answer:
π/4, 7π/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 cos O - √2 = 0
2 cos O = √2
cos O = √2/2
This is an angle in 45-45-90 triangle where the sides are in the ratio
1:1:√2 where the cosine of 45 degrees = 1 /√2 = √2/2.
In radians it is π/4.
The cosine is also positive in the fourth quadrant so the other solution is
7π/4.

if 2x - 3 + 3x equals -28 what is the value of x
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
It just is :)
For this case we must find the value of "x" of the following expression:
[tex]2x-3 + 3x = -28[/tex]
We add similar terms:
[tex]5x-3 = -28[/tex]
We add 3 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]5x = -28 + 3[/tex]
Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:
[tex]5x = -25[/tex]
We divide between 5 on both sides of the equation:
[tex]x = \frac {-25} {5}\\x = -5[/tex]
ANswer:
[tex]x = -5[/tex]
The amount of energy a microwave oven uses (in the form of electricity) is given by the function f(x)=5x+9, where x is the amount of time the microwave is turned on. The amount of energy the microwave puts out is modeled by the function g(x)=−x^2+3x+1, where x is the amount of time the microwave is turned on.
What is the difference between the amount of energy the microwave uses and the amount it puts out?
(x)=x^2+2x+8
f(x)=−x^2−2x−8
f(x)=−x^2+8x+10
f(x)=x^2−8x−10
Answer:
The difference between the amount of energy the microwave uses and the amount it puts out is x² + 2x + 8 ⇒ first answer
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- The amount of energy a microwave oven uses is given by the
function f(x) = 5x + 9
- The amount of energy the microwave puts out is given by the
function g(x) = − x² + 3x + 1
- x is the amount of time the microwave is turned on in
both functions
- To find the difference between the amount of energy the
microwave uses and the amount it puts out we will subtract
g(x) from f(x)
* Lets do that
∵ f(x) = 5x + 9
∵ g(x) = - x² + 3x + 1
∴ The difference = 5x + 9 - (-x² + 3x + 1) ⇒ multiply the bracket by (-)
- Remember that (-)(-) = (+) and (-)(+) = (-)
∴ The difference = 5x + 9 + x² - 3x - 1 ⇒ Add the like terms
∴ The difference = x² + (5x - 3x) + (9 - 1)
∴ The difference = x² + 2x + 8
* The difference between the amount of energy the microwave uses
and the amount it puts out is x² + 2x + 8
To find the difference between the energy a microwave uses and the energy it puts out, subtract the output function from the input function using the given equations. The correct answer is [tex]f(x) - g(x) = x^2 + 2x + 8[/tex] that is option A is correct.
The difference between the amount of energy the microwave uses and the amount it puts out can be calculated by subtracting the output function from the input function.
Given:
f(x) = 5x + 9 (energy used by the microwave)
[tex]g(x) = -x^2 + 3x + 1[/tex](energy output by the microwave)
Calculating the difference:
Substitute the values:
[tex]f(x) - g(x) = (5x + 9) - (-x^2 + 3x + 1)[/tex]
Simplify the expression:
[tex]f(x) - g(x) = x^2 + 2x + 8[/tex]

Consider the function f(x)=3/4x+12 what is the y-intercept of f-1(x)
Answer:
y = -16
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=3/4x+12 (replace f(x) with y)
y =3/4x+12 (rearrange to express x in terms of y)
y - 12=3/4 x
3/4 x = y - 12
3x = 4(y - 12)
x = (4/3)(y - 12)
x = (4/3)y - (4/3)(12)
x = (4/3)y - 16
[tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (y) = (4/3)y - 16
[tex]f^{-1}[/tex] (x) = (4/3)x - 16
comparing to general form
y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept
b = -16
Hence the y-intercept is y = -16
The value of the y-intercept will be given as y = -16
What is an equation?The equation in mathematics is the relationship between the variables and the number and establishes the relationship between the two or more variables.
f (x) = 3/4x + 12 (replace f(x) with y)
y = 3/4x + 12 (rearrange to express x in terms of y)
y - 12 = 3/4 x
3/4 x = y - 12
3x = 4(y - 12)
x = (4/3)(y - 12)
x = (4/3)y - (4/3)(12)
x = (4/3)y - 16
(y) = (4/3)y - 16
(x) = (4/3)x - 16
Compared to the general form
y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept
b = -16

Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The given circle has center O.
A, B,C, and D are points on the circumference of the circle.
We want to prove that: [tex]\angle A\cong \angle D[/tex]
We need to join to B and C as shown in the attachment.
Recall that angle subtended by arc BC at the center is twice the angle subtended at the circumference by the same arc.
This implies that:

Use the quadratic formula to determine the exact solutions to the equation x^2-4x-8=0
The answer is 2+2√3 or 2-2√3
Answer:
[tex]x = 2[/tex]±[tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the quadratic formula states that the solution to that equation is going to be given by:
[tex]x1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}[/tex]
[tex]x1 = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}[/tex]
In this case, a=1, b=-4 and c=-8. Therefore:
[tex]x1 = \frac{4+\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-8)} }{2}[/tex]
[tex]x1 = \frac{4+\sqrt{48}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x1 = 2+\sqrt{12}[/tex]
[tex]x2 = \frac{4-\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-8)} }{2}[/tex]
[tex]x2 = \frac{4-\sqrt{48}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x2 = 2-\sqrt{12}[/tex]
Therefore the solutions are:
[tex]x = 2[/tex]±[tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]
Your parents gave you a gift card for your favorite coffee shop. The card was worth $50
when you got it. Each day, you buy a drink for $3. Which equation shows the value on
the gift card over time?
Final answer:
The equation that shows the value on the gift card over time is: Value on gift card = Initial value - Total amount spent.
Explanation:
The equation that shows the value on the gift card over time is: Value on gift card = Initial value - Total amount spent.
Since the initial value of the gift card is $50 and each day a drink costs $3, the equation can be written as: Value on gift card = 50 - 3x, where x represents the number of days.
This equation will give you the value remaining on the gift card after x days of buying a $3 drink.

The function below describes the relationship between the height H and the width w of a rectangle with area 70 sq. units. H(w)= 70/w What is the domain of the function?
Answer:
[tex]w \ne0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is given by:
[tex]Area = L \times \: W[/tex]
In this case, we have the height replacing the length.
[tex]Area=H\times w[/tex]
The area of the rectangle is 70.
[tex]H\times w = 70[/tex]
Dividing through by w gives:
[tex]H = \frac{70}{w} [/tex]
Or to show that H is dependent on w, we write
[tex]H (w)= \frac{70}{w} [/tex]
[tex]w \ne \: 0[/tex]
Domain is the set of all real numbers for which the function is defined.
Therefore the domain is all real numbers except 0.

A truck with 36-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 55 mi/h.
Find the angular speed of the wheels in rad/min
Answer:
The angular speed is 3,227 rad/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that
1 mile=63,360 inches
step 1
Find the circumference of the wheels
The circumference is equal to
[tex]C=\pi D[/tex]
we have
[tex]D=36\ in[/tex]
substitute
[tex]C=\pi (36)[/tex]
[tex]C=36\pi\ in[/tex]
step 2
we know that
The speed of the wheel is 55 mi/h
Convert to mi/min
55 mi/h=55/60 mi/min
Convert to in/min
(55/60) mi/min=55*63,360/60 in/min= 58,080 in/min
we know that
The circumference of the wheel subtends a central angle of 2π radians
so
using proportion
Find out how much radians are 58,080 inches
[tex]\frac{36\pi }{2\pi }=\frac{58,080}{x} \\\\x=2*58,080/36\\\\x=3,226.67 \ rad[/tex]
therefore
The angular speed is 3,227 rad/min
Final answer:
To calculate the angular speed in radians per minute for a truck with 36-inch diameter wheels traveling at 55 mi/h, convert the diameter to radius in meters, convert the speed to meters per minute, and then use the relationship v = r theta.
Explanation:
To find the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute, we can use the relationship between linear speed and angular speed, which is given by v = r * theta, where v is the linear speed, r is the radius of the wheel, and theta is the angular speed.
First, convert the diameter to radius: radius = diameter / 2 = 36 in / 2 = 18 in. Then, convert inches to meters as 1 inch is 0.0254 meters. So, radius in meters = 18 in * 0.0254 m/in = 0.4572 m.
Next, convert the speed from miles per hour to meters per minute:
Convert miles to meters: 1 mile = 1609.34 meters,
Speed in meters per minute: 55 mi/h * 1609.34 m/mi * 1h/60min = 1,486.86 m/min.
Now we can find the angular speed: theta = v / r = 1,486.86 m/min / 0.4572 m = 3,252.3 rad/min.
What is the Prime factorization of 1323
Answer:3, 9, 27, 7, 189
Step-by-step explanation:
The prime factorization of 1323 involves breaking it down into prime factors that multiply together to give the original number, starting with the smallest prime.
Explanation:The prime factorization of 1323 is the process of breaking down the number into its prime factors, which are numbers that are prime and multiply together to give the original number, 1323. To find the prime factors, we start by dividing the number by the smallest prime number, which is 2. Since 1323 is odd, we move to the next prime number, which is 3. We find that 1323 is divisible by 3, so we can write 1323 as 3 × 441. We continue to take 441 and factor it further, eventually finding the complete prime factorization.
Two-thirds of the children in the fourth - grade class are girls. If there are 18 girls, what is the total number of children in the class?
For this case, the first thing to do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: total number of childrenThen we write the equation that models the problem:
[tex]\frac {2} {3} x = 18[/tex]
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
[tex]x = \frac {3} {2} (18)\\x = 3 * 9\\x = 27[/tex]
Answer:
the total number of children in the class is:
[tex]x = 27[/tex]
To calculate the total number of children in the fourth-grade class, divide the number of girls by 2 to find one-third of the class, then multiply by 3. The total class size is 27 children.
To find the total number of children in the fourth-grade class, we start by understanding that two-thirds of the children are girls. If there are 18 girls, which is two-thirds of the class, we need to calculate the full class size which constitutes three-thirds (or the whole).
Step 1: Represent two-thirds of the class as 2/3.
Step 2: Equate two-thirds of the class to the number of girls: 2/3 of the class = 18 girls.
Step 3: Find one-third of the class by dividing the number of girls by 2: 18 girls \/ 2 = 9 children.
Step 4: Calculate the full class size (which is three-thirds) by multiplying one-third of the class by 3: 9 children x 3 = 27 children.
Therefore, the total number of children in the fourth-grade class is 27.

To rationalize the denominator of 2sqrt10/3sqrt11
Answer:
√11/√11
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to rationalize the denominator we must multiply it with the a radical that simplifies the radical in denominator
in given case radical in denominator is√11, in order to simplify it we need to multiply numerator and denominator by √11.
2√10/3√11 x √11/√11

In this case, [tex]c^5 - 49[/tex] cannot be expressed in the form of [tex]a^2 - b^2[/tex] because [tex]c^5[/tex] is not a perfect square (a number raised to the power of 2) since it is c raised to the power of 5. To be a difference of squares, both terms must be perfect squares.
49 on the other is a perfect square of 7 but because of [tex]c^5[/tex] the expression [tex]c^5 - 49[/tex] cannot be converted to the form of [tex]a^2 - b^2[/tex] and is thus not considered a difference of squares.
Thus, The correct answer is: b. no [tex]c^5 - 49[/tex] is not a difference of squares
Short sleeve t-shirts cost $10 and long sleeve t-shirts cost $15. If the t-shirt shop made $485 selling 38 total t-shirts, how many of each type of shirt did they sell?
Answer:
The t-shirt shop sold 21 long sleeve shirts and 17 short sleeve shirts.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we should create a system of equations. Let's let short sleeve t-shirts be represented by the variable s and long sleeve t-shirts be represented by the variable l.
We know that the shop sold 38 total shirts, or in other words, the amount of long sleeve and short sleeve shirts combined is 38. If we write this as an equation, we get: s + l = 38.
We can make another equation with the prices of the shirts. If we take each type of shirt and multiply each price by the number sold and add them together, we should get the shop's total profits. Represented as an equation, this is: 10s + 15l = 485.
Now that we have two equations, we should try to solve the system. In this case, it is easiest to use substitution, so we are going to rewrite the first equation in terms of one variable.
s + l = 38
s = 38 - l
If we substitute this equivalent value for the variable s into the second equation, we get:
10s + 15l = 485
10(38 - l) + 15l = 485
Now we have an equation that only has one variable, so we can simplify both sides and then isolate the variable.
380 - 10l + 15l = 485
380 + 5l = 485
5l = 105
l = 21
Now, we can substitute this value for l back into the first equation to solve for the variable s.
s + l = 38
s + 21 = 38
s = 17
Therefore, the t-shirt shop sold 21 long sleeve shirts and 17 short sleeve shirts.
Hope this helps!
