<span>1) (sin x)(cos x) = 0 This means that either sin x = 0, or cos x = 0. Sin x = 0 when x = 0 or pi. cos x = 0 when x = pi/2 or 3pi/2. 2) cos2x + 2cosx + 1 = 0 First, expand cos2x. Simple trigonometric identity states that cos2x = (cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2.Now, substituting this equation, we get cos2x + 2cosx + 1 = (cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2 + 2cosx + 1. Note that we can now utilize the identity (cos x)^2 = 1 - (sin x)^2 to obtain (cos x)^2 + 2cosx + 1 - (sin x)^2 = 2(cos x)^2 + 2(cos x) = 0. Now, we can see that 2(cos x)^2 + 2(cos x) = 2(cos x)(cos x + 1) = 0. This is true when cos x = 0 or cos x + 1 = 0. Cos x = 0 when x = pi/2 or 3pi/2. cos x = -1 when x = pi. Therefore, x = pi/2, pi or 3pi/2.</span>

(d) A car travels at an average speed of 80 km/h. How far does it travel in: (1) 2 hours? (11) 12 minutes?

zepelin [54]

Answer is (1) 160 km in 2 hours and
(2) 16 miles in 12 minutes.

Step by step.
80 km / 1 hour = x km /2 hours
Cross multiply =
x = 160

The second one requires a little more math. Because we are looking at how far in minutes, we change the rate of 80km in 1 hour to 80 km in 60 minutes.
80 km / 60 = x / 12
Cross multiply
12x = 960
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12
X = 16

I did the math on a print screen to explain the cross multiply.

The parabolic arch of a bridge over a one-way road can be described by the equation y = -x^2 + 6, where x and y ar emeasured in

Vladimir [108]

So check the picture below

if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get $\bf y=-x^2+6\implies 0=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{6}$

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is $\bf y=-x^2+6\implies 3.5=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{2.5}$

the truck, ends up with a clearance of $\bf \sqrt{2.5}-1.5$ on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together, $\bf 2(\sqrt{2.5}-1.5)$

Need help with understanding table of ordered pairs , I have two left and that's basically all.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to figure this out is to substitute in the variables. So for a, 2=-5+7 is correct, and 7=0+7 is correct as well. If you were to look at the other answers, you would see that the equation would not match up. Hope this helps!
