Given that cos(x) = 1/4, what is cos(2x)?

cos(2x) = 2cos2(x) - 1 This is the identity. Therefore we can substitute in 2[cos2(x)] to be 2 multiplied by (1/4)2.Therefore cos(2x) = 2(1/4)(1/4) - 1 = 2/16 - 1 = 2/16 -...

n is an integer such that 3n + 2 < 14 and 6n/(n^2+5) > 1. Find all possible values of n.

First of all, solving the equation 3n + 2 < 14 to find n. 3n < 14 -2 = 3n < 12. n < 12/3 = n < 4Secondly solve the equation 6n/(n^2+5) > 1 to find n. Collect all terms on one side of the...

Split (3x-4)/(x+2)(x-3) into partial fractions

(3x-4)/(x+2)(x-3) = A/(x+2) + B/(x-3)=> 3x-4 = A(x-3) + B(x+2)Let x = -2-10 = -5AA = 2Let x = 35 = 5BB = 1∴ (3x-4)/(x+2)(x-3) = 2/(x+2) + 1/(x-3)
