Answer:
orchard apples are lower-cost
Step-by-step explanation:
3 pounds is 48 ounces, so the equivalent to the store offering might be about 24 ounces for $4.95/2 ≈ $2.48.
This is substantially less cost per ounce than 25 ounces for $3.79. (24 and 25 are very near, but $2.48 and $3.79 are not.)
Orchard apples are the better deal.
Answer:
y = x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.
The first line is y = - x - 2. Its slope is -1. A line perpendicular to this will have a slope of 1.
Plug this value (1) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.
y = 1x + b or y = x + b
To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (-5, 10). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.
10 = (-5) + b
Simplify.
10 = -5 + b
Now, add 5 to both sides to isolate b.
15 = b
Plug this into your standard equation.
y = x + 15
This equation is perpendicular to your given equation (y = -x - 2) and contains point (-5, 10)
Hope this helps!
The answer to the problem is A) 20 feet below sea level
As soon as I read this, the words "law of cosines" popped
into my head. I don't have a good intuitive feeling for the
law of cosines, but I went and looked it up (you probably
could have done that), and I found that it's exactly what
you need for this problem.
The "law of cosines" relates the lengths of the sides of any
triangle to the cosine of one of its angles ... just what we need,
since we know all the sides, and we want to find one of the angles.
To find angle-B, the law of cosines says
b² = a² + c² - 2 a c cosine(B)
B = angle-B
b = the side opposite angle-B = 1.4
a, c = the other 2 sides = 1 and 1.9
(1.4)² = (1)² + (1.9)² - (2 x 1 x 1.9) cos(B)
1.96 = (1) + (3.61) - (3.8) cos(B)
Add 3.8 cos(B) from each side:
1.96 + 3.8 cos(B) = 4.61
Subtract 1.96 from each side:
3.8 cos(B) = 2.65
Divide each side by 3.8 :
cos(B) = 0.69737 (rounded)
Whipping out the
trusty calculator:
B = the angle whose cosine is 0.69737
= 45.784° .
Now, for the first time, I'll take a deep breath, then hold it
while I look back at the question and see whether this is
anywhere near one of the choices ...
By gosh ! Choice 'B' is 45.8° ! yay !
I'll bet that's it !
