Answer:

(x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

<h3>Case-1:</h3>
  • Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of Y
  • Mr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000

<h3>Case-2:</h3>
  • Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z
  • Mr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

2x   - 3y  +  z = 0

<h3>Case-3:</h3>
  • Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z
  • Mr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

- x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000

Thus our system of equations is

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

<u>Solving </u><u>the </u><u>system </u><u>of </u><u>equations</u><u>:</u>

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

\begin{cases}3x  +  5y - 4z = 6000\\2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x   - 3y  +  z = 0\\ - x    + 4y  +  6z = 13000\end{cases}

Now solve the equation accordingly:

\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151}

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

What is the length of the shadow cast by a 12-foot lamp post when the angle of elevation of the sun is 60º? (to the nearest tent
elena-s [515]

Answer:

6.9 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of lamp post= 12-foot.

           The angle of elevation of the sun is 60°.

∴ The length of Lamp post, which is opposite is 12-foot.

  Now, finding the length of shadow cast by foot lamp.

Length of shadow is adjacent.

∴ We know the formula for Tan\theta= \frac{Opposite}{adjacent}

Next, putting the value in the formula.

⇒ Tan 60° = \frac{12}{adjacent}

Cross multiplying both side and using the value of Tan 60°

∴ Adjacent= \frac{12}{\sqrt{3} } = 6.92 ≅ 6.9 (nearest tenth value)

6.9 is the length of shadow cast by a 12-foot lamp post.
