The slope of 6x + 2y = 4 is
y = -3x + 2
If you learned about the 45-45-90 triangle (which is isosceles), then the faster way is to know that the hypotenuse (side opposite of right angle) is √2 times either one of the sides.
3√2 = (√2)x
x = 3
But if you didn't learn the 45-45-90 triangle yet, that's ok.
Recall the trigonometric ratios for right triangles: sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan).
If your angle is x, then
sin(x) = opposite side / hypotenuse
cos(x) = adjacent side / hypotenuse
tan(x) = opposite side / adjacent side
Remember the hypotenuse is the side opposite and across from the right angle (3√2 in this case).
An acronym to remember this is SohCahToa.
In this problem, the angle given is 45°, and you need to find the length of the adjacent side x. The hypotenuse is also given as 3√2.
Because we have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, we use cosine to relate those two sides
cos(45°) = x / (3√2)
x = (3√2)cos45°
If you plug this into your calculator (in degree mode), then
x = 3
Answer:
The equations represent the situation is 
and 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
First convert the statement into mathematical representation.
Consider the smaller number is <em>x</em> and the larger number is <em>y</em>.
<em>y</em>, is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 3.
This information can be written as: 
Which can be further solve as:
The larger number is also equal to 5 more than 3 times the smaller number.
This information can be written as:
Thus, the equations represent the situation is and .
Which can be further solve as:
Now, substitute the value of <em>x</em> in .
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
There are 3900 workers in the three main buildings downtown. Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three. There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building. How many workers are in each building?
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
There are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let "b" be the number of workers in smallest building
Given that Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three
number of workers in largest building = 2b
Given that There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building
Number of workers in second largest building = 500 + b
Given that there are 3900 workers in 3 buildings
b + 2b + 500 + b = 3900
4b + 500 = 3900
4b = 3900 - 500
4b = 3400
b = 850
Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building
workers in largest building = 2b = 2(850) = 1700
workers in second largest building = 500 + b = 500 + 850 = 1350
Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building
