Assume you drive 12,000 miles per year and that regular gas will cost $2.25/gallon and that premium gas will cost $0.30/gallon m

ore than regular gas.
What is the annual difference in gas cost for the following two vehicles?
Car 1: 30 miles per gallon on average with regular gas
Car 2: 25 miles per gallon on average with premium gas
A. $60 per eyarB. $180 per year
C. $324 per year
D. $548 per year

Answer: C. $324 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of miles driven per year is assumed to be 12000.

If Car 1 uses 30 miles per gallon on average with regular gas, then the number of gallons used for 12000 miles would be

12000/30 = 400 gallons

Regular gas will cost $2.25/gallon.

Cost of 400 gallons of regular gas would be

400 × 2.25 = $900

If Car 2 uses 25 miles per gallon on average with premium gas, then the number of gallons used for 12000 miles would be

12000/25 = 480 gallons

premium gas will cost $0.30/gallon more than regular gas. It means that cost of premium gas is

0.3 + 2.25 = $2.55/gallon

Cost of 480 gallons of premium gas would be

480 × 2.55 = $1224

The annual difference in gas cost for the two vehicles is

1224 - 900 = $324

I have to use trigonometric identities to solve. But I’m having trouble finding the values of cos A and sin B. Can anyone help m

katrin [286]

let's notice something, angles α and β are both in the I Quadrant, and on the first quadrant the x-coordinate/cosine and y-coordinate/sine are both positive.

$\bf \textit{Sum and Difference Identities} \\\\ cos(\alpha - \beta)= cos(\alpha)cos(\beta) + sin(\alpha)sin(\beta) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ sin(\alpha)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{15}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{17}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}$

$\bf \pm\sqrt{17^2-15^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{64}=a\implies \pm 8 = a\implies \stackrel{I~Quadrant}{\boxed{+8=a}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ cos(\beta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}$

$\bf \pm\sqrt{5^2-3^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{16}=b\implies \pm 4=b\implies \stackrel{\textit{I~Quadrant}}{\boxed{+4=b}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf cos(\alpha - \beta)=\stackrel{cos(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{8}{17} \right)}\stackrel{cos(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{3}{5} \right)}+\stackrel{sin(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{15}{17} \right)}\stackrel{sin(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{4}{5} \right)}\implies cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{24}{85}+\cfrac{60}{85} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{84}{85}~\hfill$

A scale drawing of a bathroom is shown below:

aleksandrvk [35]

Length of the actual bathroom = 20 x 2 inches = 40 inches = 10/3 ft
Width of the actual bathroom = 20 x 3.5 inches = 70 inches = 35/6 ft
Area of the actual bathroom = length x width = 10/3 x 35/6 = 19 square ft.
