Using a system of equations, it is found that a small box of tangerines costs $10 and a large box costs $14.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
  • A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the <em>variables </em>are:

  • Variable x: Cost of a small box.
  • Variable y: Cost of a large box.

Krystal sold 7 small boxes of tangerines and 14 large boxes of tangerines for a total of $266, hence:

7x + 14y = 266

Simplifying by 7:

x + 2y = 38

x = 38 - 2y

Mary sold 14 small boxes of tangerines and 3 large boxes of tangerines for a total of $182, hence:

14x + 3y = 182

Since x = 38 - 2y:

14(38 - 2y) + 3y = 182

25y = 350

y = \frac{350}{25}

y = 14

Then

x = 38 - 2y = 38 - 2(14) = 10

A small box of tangerines costs $10 and a large box costs $14.

Consider all angles whose reference angle is 45° with terminal sides not in Quadrant I.The angles that share the same cosine val
Oksana_A [137]

Solution:

As we know reference angle is smallest angle between terminal side and X axis.

As cosine 45 ° is always positive in first and fourth quadrant.

i.e CosФ, Cos (-Ф) or Cos(2π - Ф) have same value.

As, Cos 45°, Cos (-45°) or Cos ( 360° - 45°)= Cos 315°are same.

So, Angles that share the same Cosine value as Cos 45° have same terminal sides  will be in Quadrant IV having value Either Cos (-45°) or Cos (315°).

Also, Cos 45° = Sin 45° or Sin 135° i.e terminal side in first Quadrant or second Quadrant.
