Answer:

36 °

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case a rectangular triangle is formed so we can use the trigonometric functions to calculate the angle, they give us the value of the two legs, therefore we can apply the tangent function.

Tan A ° = opposite / adjacent

replacing:

Tan A ° = 50/68

Tan A ° = 0.735

A ° = arc tan (0.735)

A ° = 36.32

Which means that the angle of inclination is 36°

Sarah has whole milk, which contains 3.25% butterfat by volume, and one type of low-fat milk,
givi [52]

Answer:

D is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a mixture of low-fat and whole milk to equal 32ounces

Therefore, we know one equation is:

l + w = 32

That 32 ounce mixture should be 2% butter fat

So the amount of butter fat we want is

2% of 32 = 0.64 ounces

At the same time, this mixture contains low-fat and whole milk, which contain 1% and 3.25% butter fat respectively.

therefore, the butter fat in low-fat and whole milk is 0.01l and 0.0325w respectively.

The coefficients are just the percentages in decimal form

Due to the law of conservation of mass,

The addition of these two should yield the final amount of butter fat, meaning the other equation is:

0.01l + 0.0325w = 0.64

Solve: 2 + = 2. Give solutions in interval [0, 2)
Dovator [93]
\because\cos 2x+\sin x=\sin 2x\because\sin 2x=2\sin xcosx\because\cos 2x=\cos ^2x-\sin ^2x

→ Substitute cos 2x and sin 2x by their expressions

\therefore\cos ^2x-\sin ^2+\sin x=2\sin x\cos x

→ Subtract both sides by sin x

\cos ^2x-\sin ^2x=2\sin xcosx-\sin x

→ Take sin x as a common factor in the right side

\therefore\cos ^2x-\sin ^2x=\sin x(2\cos x-1)

From the graph, the equation has 4 solutions, the intersection points between the 2 graphs
