Answer:
<em>The researchers documented 145 medicinal plants that the healers use for treating 59 ailments. They also found that the ethnic group used more than 40 species for treating more than one ailment.</em>
In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.
For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is
a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9
Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° = 11/sinB
B = 80.4°
9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°
The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4
Answer:
4 movies, $20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Family Video
charges $10 for a monthly membership and
$2.50 per movie
let the number of movies be x
and the charge for x movies be y
y= 10+2.5x----------1
Babe's Movies
charges a $12
membership and $2 per
movie.
let the number of movies be x
and the charge for x movies be y
y= 12+2x----------2
equate 1 and 2
10+2.5x= 12+2x
collect like terms
12-10= 2.5x-2x
2= 0.5x
x= 2/0.5
x= 4 movies
put x= 4 in equation 1 or 2
y= 12+2x----------2
y= 12+2*4
y= 12+8
y= $20
That's vertex form for a parabola 
and we read off vertex (p,q) as
Answer: Vertex (5,7)
The negative <em>a</em> tells us this is a downward opening parabola (upside down from the usual 
. I remember CUP - Concave Up Positive; here <em>a </em>is negative so not a cup, instead concave <em>down.</em> The same rule applies to second derivatives in calculus so memorize it now and use it later.
Answer: downward
Work problems are solved by first figuring out how much of the job they can do in each hour. Shawn can do 1/4 of the job in an hour and Ellie can do 1/6 of the job in an hour. 1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=5/12. This means that they can do 5/12 of the job an hour. This means that together they can do the job in 2 2/5 hours. The foreman is obviously wrong because first of all Shawn can do it alone in 4 hours, so with Ellie he will do it faster, and second of all 2 2/5<5. Hope this helped!
