To solve the problem we must establish two equations.
let x be the mass of the 20 cents almonds
y be the mass of the 36 cents mixture
first equation is:

x + 40 = y

the second equation is:
0.2x + 40(0.4) = 0.36y

solving the equations simultaneously
x = 10 lb of the 20 cents almonds is needed to mix

Find the measures of the angles of the triangle whose vertices are A = (-3,0) , B = (1,3) , and C = (1,-3).A.) The measure of ∠A
alekssr [168]

Answer:

\theta_{CAB}=128.316

\theta_{ABC}=25.842

\theta_{BCA}=25.842

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (-3,0) , B = (1,3) , and C = (1,-3)

We're going to use the distance formula to find the length of the sides:

r= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2+(z_1-z_2)^2}

AB= \sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(0-3)^2}=5

BC= \sqrt{(1-1)^2+(3-(-3))^2}=9

CA= \sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(-3-0)^2}=5

we can use the cosine law to find the angle:

it is to be noted that:

the angle CAB is opposite to the BC.

the angle ABC is opposite to the AC.

the angle BCA is opposite to the AB.

to find the CAB, we'll use:

BC^2 = AB^2+CA^2-(AB)(CA)\cos{\theta_{CAB}}

\dfrac{BC^2-(AB^2+CA^2)}{-2(AB)(CA)} =\cos{\theta_{CAB}}

\cos{\theta_{CAB}}=\dfrac{9^2-(5^2+5^2)}{-2(5)(5)}

\theta_{CAB}=\arccos{-\dfrac{0.62}}

\theta_{CAB}=128.316

Although we can use the same cosine law to find the other angles. but we can use sine law now too since we have one angle!

To find the angle ABC

\dfrac{\sin{\theta_{ABC}}}{AC}=\dfrac{\sin{CAB}}{BC}

\sin{\theta_{ABC}}=AC\left(\dfrac{\sin{CAB}}{BC}\right)

\sin{\theta_{ABC}}=5\left(\dfrac{\sin{128.316}}{9}\right)

\theta_{ABC}=\arcsin{0.4359}\right)

\theta_{ABC}=25.842

finally, we've seen that the triangle has two equal sides, AB = CA, this is an isosceles triangle. hence the angles ABC and BCA would also be the same.

\theta_{BCA}=25.842

this can also be checked using the fact the sum of all angles inside a triangle is 180

\theta_{ABC}+\theta_{BCA}+\theta_{CAB}=180

25.842+128.316+25.842

180

Evaluate the piece wise function for the given values of x by matching the domain values to the range values.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

- 5 (x = 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

When x equals 1, it fits in the piece where x < 3. The equation for that interval is -x - 4. We can substitute 1 into that equation to get:

- 1 - 4

- 5
