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 !

Find solution to the system of linear equations. 5x1 + x2 = 0 , 25x1 + 5x2 = 0
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the system of equation has infinite solution

Step-by-step explanation:

5x_1 + x_2 = 0 , 25x_1 + 5x_2 = 0

Solve the first equation for x_2

Subtract 5x1 on both sides

5x_1 + x_2 = 0

x_2 =-5x_1

Now substitute -5x1 on second equation

25x_1 + 5x_2 = 0

25x_1 + 5(-5x_1)= 0

25x_1-25x_1= 0

0=0

So the system of equation has infinite solution
