What is the sign of the larger absolute value

Answer:

6 < x < 23.206

Step-by-step explanation:

To properly answer this question, we need to make the assumption that angle DAC is non-negative and that angle BCA is acute.

The maximum value of the angle DAC can be shown to occur when points B, C, and D are on a circle centered at A*. When that is the case, the sine of half of angle DAC is equal to 16/22 times the sine of half of angle BAC. That is, ...

(2x -12)/2 = arcsin(16/22×sin(24°))

x ≈ 23.206°

Of course, the minimum value of angle DAC is 0°, so the minimum value of x is ...

2x -12 = 0

x -6 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2

x = 6 . . . . . . . add 6

Then the range of values of x will be ...

6 < x < 23.206

* One way to do this is to make use of the law of cosines:

22² = AB² + AC² -2·AB·AC·cos(48°)

16² = AD² + AC² -2·AD·AC·cos(2x-12)

The trick is to maximize x while satisfying the constraints that all of the lengths are positive. This will happen when AB=AC=AD, in which case the equations be come ...

22² = 2·AB²·(1-cos(48°))

16² = 2·AB²·(1 -cos(2x-12))

The value of AB drops out of the ratio of these equations, and the result for x is as above.

2. c = 47,000 × n, where c is the cost of n number of bears.

3. a) The cost to ride 5 rides = $20.50, the cost to ride 8 rides = $28.00

The equation for the pattern, C(x) = 15.50 + 2.50 (r - 3), where C is the cost and r is the number of rides.

b) The cost to ride 12 rides = $36.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; To find the cost of one bear, we divide the cost of bears by the number.

If 4 bears cost $188,000, 1 bear costs = $\frac{188000}{4}$ = $47,000.

If 7 bears cost $329,000, 1 bear costs = $\frac{329,000}{7}$ = $47,000.

So the equation is c = 47,000 × n, where c is the cost to buy n bears.

Step 2; For every additional ride, the price increases by $2.50. So the equation for the pattern is C(x) = 13.50 + 2.50 (x - 3).

When the number of rides is 5, C(5) = 15.50 + 2.50 (5-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (2) = 15.50 + 5.0 = $20.50.

When the number of rides is 8, C(8) = 15.50 + 2.50 (8-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (5) = 15.50 + 12.50 = $28.00.

When the number of rides is 12, C(12) = 15.50 + 2.50 (12-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (9) = 13.50 + 22.5 = $36.00.
