Answer:
The system of equations in standard form is equal to
The number of ounces of perfume A is
The number of ounces of perfume B is
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
a-----> the number of ounces of perfume A
b----> the number of ounces of perfume B
we know that
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for b
Find the value of a
----->
Answer:
1.) ≈ 3.652
2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:
1.) --> law of cosines formula.
--> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.
--> in between steps.
--> more simplifying.
--> answer
2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.
Good luck! :)
