Find all solutions to the equation.
cos^2x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0 (4 points)

cos^2x + (1+1)cos x + 1 = 0

or,cos^2x + cos x + cos x + 1 = 0

or,cos x(cos x + 1) + 1 (cos x + 1) = 0

or, (cosx + 1) + (cosx + 1) = 0

either

cosx + 1 =0 or cosx +1 =0

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7

quadratic formula:

    (+/- is this ±)

plug in the numbers into the variables

your answer is a
