Answer:

Carlos has to buy 6 pounds of granola and 2 pounds of cranberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need an equation to calculate the money spend when buying granola (g) and cranberries (c). Carlos wants to spend $29 and make 8 pounds of mix. The equations are:

3*g+5.50*c=29 Eq. 1

g+c=8 Eq. 2

This is the system of equations that Carlos have to use.

Solving it, we have:

g=8-c Replacing it in the first one:

3*(8-c)+5.50*c=29

24-3c+5.50*c=29

2.50*c=29-24

c=\frac{5}{2.50}

c=2

Calculating g from the equation 2:

g=8-c

g=8-2

g=6

Carlos has to buy 6 pounds of granola and 2 pounds of cranberries.

Find the values of x and y. Pls helpI’m helpless at math
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

  • x = 1
  • y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right-angle triangle

The angle = ∠60°

  • The adjacent to the angle ∠60° is 1/2.
  • The opposite to the angle ∠60° is y.

The hypotenuse = x

<u>Determining the value of x:</u>

Using the trigonometric ratio

cos 60° = adjacent / hypotenuse

substituting adjacent = 1/2 and hypotenuse = x

cos\:60^{\circ }=\:\:\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{x}

\cos \left(60^{\circ \:}\right)=\frac{1}{2x}

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2x}          ∵ cos (60°) = 1/2

2x=2

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{2}{2}

Simplify

x=1

Thus, the value of hypotenuse x is:

x = 1

<u>Determining the value of y:</u>

Using the trigonometric ratio

sin 60° = opposite / hypotenuse

As we have already determined the value of hypotenuse x = 1

substituting opposite = y and hypotenuse = 1

sin 60° = y/1

y = 1 × sin 60°

y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}       ∵  \sin \left(60^{\circ \:}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Therefore, the value of y is:

y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}      

Summary:

  • x = 1
  • y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

rate of the plane in still air is 33 miles per hour and the rate of the wind is 11 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make a table of the trip there and back using the formula distance = rate x time

                 d              =            r       x       t

there

back

The distance there and back is 264 miles, so we can split that in half and put each half under d:

               d            =         r        x        t

there    132

back     132

It tells us that the trip there is with the wind and the trip back is against the wind:

           

              d           =        r         x        t

there     132        =    (r + w)

back      132       =     (r - w)

Finally, the trip there took 3 hours and the trip back took 6:

           

             d         =        r        *        t

there    132     =    (r + w)     *       3

back     132     =    (r - w)      *       6

There's the table.  Using the distance formula we have 2 equations that result from that info:

132 = 3(r + w)        and        132 = 6(r - w)

We are looking to solve for both r and w.  We have 2 equations with 2 unknowns, so we will solve the first equation for r, sub that value for r into the second equation to solve for w:

132 = 3r + 3w and

132 - 3w = 3r so

44 - w = r.  Subbing that into the second equation:

132 = 6(44 - w) - 6w and

132 = 264 - 6w - 6w and

-132 = -12w so

w = 11

Subbing w in to solve for r:

132 = 3r + 3(11) and

132 = 3r + 33 so

99 = 3r and

r = 33
