Answer:

cos(a+b)≈0.507

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there, in Quadrant I both sine and cosine functions are positive.

This cos (a+b) being a Classical Trigonometrical Identity, the product of the sum between two cosines equals the product of two cosines minus the product of two sines.

But we need to find the value of a and b, so that we can go on. Calculate the arccosine and arcsine function respectively is mandatory

cos(a+b)=cosa*cosb-sena*senb\\ cos(a+b)=cosa*\frac{5}{13} -\frac{4}{5}*senb\\ a=arcsin(\frac{5}{13})\\a=22.61\\b=arccos(\frac{4}{5})\\b=36.86\\ 5/13=0.38\\4/5=0.8\\cos(a+b)=cos(22.61)*cos(36.86) -sen(22.61)*sen(36.86)\\ cos (a+b)=0.507

First let's find the angles a and b.

 We have then:
 sin a = 4/5
 a = Asin (4/5)
 a = 53.13 degrees.

 cos b = 5/13
 b = Acos5 / 13
 b = 67.38 degrees.

 We now calculate cos (a + b). To do this, we replace the previously found values:
 cos ((53.13) + (67.38)) = - 0.507688738
 Answer: 
 -0.507688738
 Note: there is another way to solve the problem using trigonometric identities.

Shannon Perfumeries sells two fragrances. The table contains the price corresponding to the number of bottles of fragrance A. Bo
Aliun [14]
<span>Table
Bottles Price($)
3           78
6           156
9           234

From that you can find the unit price: 78 / 3 = 156 / 6 = 234 / 9 = 26.

That means that the unit rate of this fragance is $26.

If you call x the number of bottles the equation is

Price = unit rate * number of bottles = 26x.

Now compare this information with that on your graph to compare the unit rates.

This can help you fo find the unit rate in from your grpah: the unit rate is the slope of the line =

[change in y-coordinate] / [change in the x-coordinate]
