A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:

Mathematics
1 answer:
frez [133]3 years ago

The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given

Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known

Here, if we use cos x = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse} we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star

Note: cos values for each x are definite.

Solving systems of equations using any method
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

x = 5 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = (7 x)/5 - 5 | (equation 1)

{y = (3 x)/5 - 1 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{-(7 x)/5 + y = -5 | (equation 1)

{-(3 x)/5 + y = -1 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3/7 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{-(7 x)/5 + y = -5 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(4 y)/7 = 8/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by 5:

{-(7 x) + 5 y = -25 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(4 y)/7 = 8/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/4:

{-(7 x) + 5 y = -25 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Subtract 5 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(7 x)+0 y = -35 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -7:

{x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 2 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = 5 , y = 2

The new ointment was applied to four locations, and a control was applied to the other four. How many different choices were the
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a total of 8 locations ( 4 to the new ointment and 4 to the control) ,  each one can be chosen and since the order of the locations that are chosen for the new ointment is not relevant  , then we know that the number of choices is given by the number of combinations of 4 elements in 8

number of combinations = 8 possible locations to the first ointment * 7 possible locations to the second ( since the first one was already located) * 6 to the third * 5 locations for the fourth / number of times the same combination is repeated ( the same locations but in different positions) = 8*7*6*5 / (4 possible positions for the first ointment* 3 possible positions to the second ointment (since the first one was already located * 2 possible positions of the third * 1 possible position of the fourth)

therefore

number of combinations = 8*7*6*5/(4*3*2*1 ) = 8!/((8-4)!*4!) = 70 possible combinations

thus there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment
