Answer:

7.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking you to find the third side of a triangle in which two sides and an angle not between them are given. The law of sines provides the necessary relationships.

<h3>Law of Sines</h3>

The Law of Sines tells you that triangle side lengths are proportional to the sine of the opposite angle. For this triangle TPJ, the relation is ...

t/sin(T) = p/sin(P) = j/sin(J)

We are given T=68°, p=5.2 km, t=7.5 km, and we are asked to find the length of j, the TP distance.

<h3>Setup</h3>

We know the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, and the sine of an angle is equal to the sine of its supplement. This lets us fill in the Law of Sines equation like this:

7.5/sin(68°) = 5.2/sin(P) = j/sin(68°+P) . . . . . solve for j

<h3>Solution</h3>

This can be solved in two steps. First, we find angle P, then we use that to find length j.

sin(P) = 5.2/7.5 × sin(68°) ≈ 0.642847

P = arcsin(0.642847) ≈ 40.0045°

Now, we can find j:

j = 7.5 × sin(68° +40.0045°)/sin(68°) ≈ 7.693 . . . km

The distance from the tower to the plane is about 7.7 km.

<em>Additional comment</em>

We have used T, P, and J to refer to the vertices at the tower, plane, and jet.

The triangle can also be solved using the Law of Cosines. In that case, the missing side will be the solution to a quadratic equation with irrational coefficients.

Answer:

The loose sweets at ?0.89 for 100 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the price per gram. You do this by dividing the price by the grams.

?1.49 / 120 g = 1.49 / 120 = 0.0124 (4 dp)

Because the answer was very long, I have rounded it to 4 decimal places (4 dp).

?0.89 / 100 g = 0.89 / 100 = 0.0089

Next, you must calculate both pre-packed and loose sweets to the same weight. I am calculating them both to 100 g.

0.0124 x 100 = 1.24

0.0089 x 100 = 0.89

Finally, the cheapest product for 100 g will be the better value. In this case, it is the loose sweets.

I need to find the limit

Digiron [165]

For $x=\dfrac{1}{2}$ the function is undefined.

$\displaystyle
\lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^-} x\sec (\pi x)=\infty\\
\lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^+} x\sec (\pi x)=-\infty\\\\
\lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^-}x\sec (\pi x)\not = \lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^+}x\sec (\pi x)
$
So, the limit doesn't exist.

Help Brian and Chris went together to Target to find party favors for a birthday party they are throwing together.

rusak2 [61]

(a) Let x be the cost of one of Brian's items, then cost of all 4 items bought by Brian will be 4x.

We have been given that Chris bought 3 items that each cost $2.50 more than Brian’s items each cost. The price of each item bought by Chris will be x+2.5. Therefore, the cost of all 3 items bought by Chris will be $3(x+2.5)$ .
