arccos 2x + arccos x = TT/2
How to solve ​find x ?

Answers

arccos(2x) + arccos(x) = π/2

Apply cos to both sides, then expand the right side using the identity I mentioned in a comment:

cos(arccos(2x) + arccos(x)) = cos(π/2)

cos(arccos(2x)) cos(arccos(x)) - sin(arccos(2x)) sin(arccos(x)) = 0

Now think of arccos(2x) and arccos(x) as angles in two right triangles. Let θ = arccos(2x) and φ = arccos(x) (and let's also assume that both have measure between 0 and π/2). These are angles such that

cos(θ) = 2x

cos(φ) = x

In these triangles, you then have

sin(θ) = sin(arccos(2x)) = √(1 - 4x ²)

sin(φ) = sin(arccos(x)) = √(1 - x ²)

while

cos(θ) = cos(arccos(2x)) = 2x

cos(φ) = cos(arccos(x)) = x

So the original equation is transformed to

2x ² - √(1 - 4x ²) √(1 - x ²) = 0

Solve for x :

2x ² = √(1 - 4x ²) √(1 - x ²)

(2x ²)² = (√(1 - 4x ²) √(1 - x ²))²

4x ⁴ = (1 - 4x ²) (1 - x ²)

4x ⁴ = 1 - 5x ² + 4x

0 = 1 - 5x ²

x ² = 1/5

x = ± 1/√5

Now bearing in mind that we assume 0 < φ < π/2, we should have cos(φ) = x > 0, so we take the positive solution,

x = 1/√5

a school has 2500 pupils. when 52 boys and 1/9 of the girls are absent, the number of the boys present is equal to the number of girls. how many does doe he school have​

Answers

Given :

a school has 2500 pupils. when 52 boys and 1/9 of the girls are absent, the number of the boys present is equal to the number of girls. how many pupils does the school have ?

Solution :

Let the number of boys be x

Data :

Total pupils = 2500

Absent no. of boys and girls = 52 and 1/9

Now,

First of all we need to get the number of girls then add it with the no. of boys absent and then subtract the whole from 2500 to get the required answer.

Remaining no of pupils = 2500 - 52 ➝ 2448

Hence, the no. of girls absent = 1/9 of 2448 ➝ 272

Therefore,

Total no. of pupils absent = 52 + 272 ➝ 324

No. of pupils present = 2500 - 324 ➝ 2176

Henceforth, 2176 pupils are present

One of the angles of a triangle is 110° and the other two angles are equal.What is the measure of each of these equal angles?

Answers

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the one of the other angles

X is also the third angle since we know they are equal

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180

110+x+x = 180

110 +2x= 180

2x = 180-110

2x= 70

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 70/2

x = 35

Answer:

[tex]x = 35 \degree[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown angle be x

Unknown Angles are equal to each other so,

[tex]x + x + 110 = 180[/tex]

sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°

[tex]2x + 110 = 180 \\ 2x = 180 - 110 \\ 2x = 70 \\ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{70}{2} \\ x = 35 \degree[/tex]

Write the following statement in equation form using variables x and y. "Sum of two numbers is 15 and difference is 11.​

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using x and y to represent the 2 numbers with x > y , then

x + y = 15 → (1)

x - y = 11 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term to eliminate y

2x = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 13

Substitute x = 13 into (1)

13 + y = 15 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

y = 2

The 2 numbers are 13 and 2

Answers

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

AM = MC = BM = (1/2) BC => AM , MC , BM = 5, => BC = 10apply pytago => (AC ^ 2) + (AB ^ 2) = (BC ^2)AB = [tex]\sqrt{BC ^2 - AC ^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{10 ^2 - 6 ^ 2}[/tex] = 8 (cm)

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

So first let's write the information we got

Angle BAC = 90 degrees

Midpoint of BC = M

AC = 6cm

Am= 5cm

Also I found MC = BM, since it has a line that represents both lines are same

so to find it we have to Pythagoras theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2), well it is question we have the 'A value and C Value', also we need to find the value of B to find the length of MC and BM

A = 5

C = 6

so therefore to find B^2, we have to do the reverse, we don't add but subtract

C^2 - A^2 = B^2

___________________________________________________________

Moving on to Calculation

6^2 - 5^2 = B^2

36 - 25 = B^2

B^2 = 9

B = √9

B = 3

MC and BM Length =  3 cm

____________________________

Now, we know the length we again need to use Pythagoras theorem to solve this.

Since we know

A = 5

B = 3

So..

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

5^2 + 3^2 = C^2

25 - 9 = C^2

C^2 = 16

C = √16

C = 4

The general form of the equation of a circle is x^2+y^2+8x+22y+37=0

The equation of this circle in standard form is (x+__)^2+(y+__)^2=__. The center of the circle is at the point (__,__).

Answers

Answer:

We know that the equation of the circle in standard form is equal to (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

We have x² + y² + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0, let's get to the standard form :

1 - We first group terms with the same variable :

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) + 37 = 0

2 - We then move the constant to the opposite side of the equation (don't forget to change the sign !)

(x²+8x) + (y²+22y) = - 37

3 - Do you recall the quadratic identities ? (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b². Now that's what we are trying to find. We call this process "completing the square".

x²+8x = (x²+8x + 4²) - 4² = (x+4)² - 4²

y²+22y = (y²+22y+11²)-11² = (y+11)²-11²

4 - We plug the new values inside our equation :

(x+4)² - 4² + (y+22)² - 11² = -37

(x+4)² + (y+22)² = -37+4²+11²

(x+4)²+(y+22)² = 100

5 - We re-write in standard form :

(x-(-4)²)² + (y - (-22))² = 10²

And now it is easy to identify h and k, h = -4 and k = - 22 and the radius r equal 10. You can now complete the sentence :)

The points A,B,C and D divide the line segment AD in the ratio 4:3:1 , respectively , and AD = 72cm . What is the length of BD?

Answers

Segment addition postulate states that given points X, and Z, on a line, a point Y, can be located between X, and Z, ony if we have;

XZ = XY + YZ

The length of the segment BD is 36  cm

The reason the above value is correct is as follows:

Known:

The ratio in which the points A, B, C, and D divide the line segment = 4:3:1

The length of segment AD = 72 cm

Required:

The length of BD

Method:

Calculate the length of BC and CD and add their values to get BD

Solution:

Let the ratios be given unit proportions of the segment AD such that we have;

AB = 4 units

BC = 3 units

CD = 1 unit

By segment addition postulate, we have;

AD = AB + BC + CD

∴ AD = 4 units + 3 units + 1 unit = 8 units = 72 cm

∴ 1 unit = 72 cm/8 = 9 cm

1 unit = 9 cm

BD = BC + CD by segment addition postulate

BC = 3 units = 3 × 1 unit

∴ BC = 3 × 9 cm = 27 cm

BC = 27 cm

CD = 1 unit

∴ CD = 9 cm

∴ BD = 27 cm + 9 cm = 36 cm

The length of segment BD = 36 cm
