X =10.

First distribute the 2(2x-14) and get 4x-28.

x+2-4x-28. Subtract x from each side to get 2=3x-28.

Add 28 to both sides to equal 30=3x. Divide each side by 3 to get your final Answer, x=10.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 7x^2- 2x^3-8x +7x^4 at x = 5

= 2 + 7*(5)^2 - 2*(5)^3-8*5 +7*(5)^4

=2+175-250-40+4375

Y/2 - 1/5 = 2 - y/3 <br><br>please tell me this asap

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

y=2 16/25

in other words, two and sixteen twenty-fifths

Step-by-step explanation:

y/2-1/5=2-y/3

Move the variables to one side and constants to the other

y/2+y/3=2+1/5

Multiply y/2 by 3/3 and y/3 by 2/2 so that they have a common denominator

3y/6+2y/6=2 1/5

5y/6=11/5

Cross multiply

66=25y

y=66/25

y=2 16/25

Answer: see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: cos 330 = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$

Use the Double-Angle Identity: cos 2A = 2 cos² A - 1

$\text{Scratchwork:}\quad \bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt3 + 2}{2\sqrt2}\bigg)^2 = \dfrac{2\sqrt3 + 4}{8}$

Proof LHS → RHS:

LHS cos 165

Double-Angle: cos (2 · 165) = 2 cos² 165 - 1

⇒ cos 330 = 2 cos² 165 - 1

⇒ 2 cos² 165 = cos 330 + 1

Given: $2 \cos^2 165 = \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} + 1$

$\rightarrow 2 \cos^2 165 = \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} + \dfrac{2}{2}$

Divide by 2: $\cos^2 165 = \dfrac{\sqrt3+2}{4}$

$\rightarrow \cos^2 165 = \bigg(\dfrac{2}{2}\bigg)\dfrac{\sqrt3+2}{4}$

$\rightarrow \cos^2 165 = \dfrac{2\sqrt3+4}{8}$

Square root: $\sqrt{\cos^2 165} = \sqrt{\dfrac{4+2\sqrt3}{8}}$

Scratchwork: $\cos^2 165 = \bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}\bigg)^2$

$\rightarrow \cos 165 = \pm \dfrac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}$

Since cos 165 is in the 2nd Quadrant, the sign is NEGATIVE

$\rightarrow \cos 165 = - \dfrac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}$

LHS = RHS $\checkmark$
