For this case we have to:

x: Let the variable representing the number of people to travel in the group

y: Let the variable representing the number of miles traveled.

If friends only have $22 then we have the following inequality:

2.50x + 0.75y \leq22

Now, if there are three people in the group we have that x = 3.

2.50 (3) + 0.75y \leq22\\7.5 + 0.75y \leq22\\0.75y \leq22-7.5\\0.75y \leq14.5\\y\leq \frac {14.5} {0.75}\\y\leq19.33

The taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles.

On the other hand, if the group wants to travel 10 miles then we have to y = 10.

2.50x + 0.75 (10) \leq22\\2.50x + 7.5 \leq22\\2.50x \leq22-7.5\\2.50x \leq14.5\\x\leq \frac {14.5} {2.50}\\x \leq5.8

Thus, they could travel a maximum of 5 people.

ANswer:

2.50x + 0.75y \leq22

Traveling 3 people, the taxi can travel a maximum of 19.33 miles

Traveling 10 miles, a maximum of 5 people can travel

Find the cosine of angle B.
Alexandra [31]

\boxed { \text {Cosine Rule : } a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos(A) }

-

9² = 12² + 15² - 2 (12) (15) cos (B)

81 = 144 + 225 - 360 cos(B)

81 = 369 - 360 cos (B)

360 cos (B) = 369 - 81

360 cos (B) = 288

cos (B) = 0.8

-

Answer: Cosine B = 0.8

-

\boxed { \text {Cosine Rule : } a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos(A) }

-

12² = 15² + 9² - 2 (15)(9) cos (A)

144 = 225 + 81 - 270 Cos A

144 = 306 - 270 Cos A

270 Cos A = 162

Cos A = 3/5 or 0.6

-

Answer: Cosine Angle A = 3/5
