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 !

For the equation 3x - 5y = -3, what is the value ofy when x is 1?<br> 6/5<br> -6/5<br> 5/6
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

y = 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5y = -3

Let x =1

3(1) - 5y = -3

3-5y = -3

Subtract 3 from each side

3-3-5y = -3-3

-5y = -6

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = -6/-5

y = 6/5

Mr. Shamir employs two part-time typists, Inna and Jim, for his typing needs. Inna charges $15 an hour and can type 6 pages an h
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The minimum cost would be 480$ when Inna works for 8 hours and Jim works for 20 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Charges for 1 hour for Inna = $15

Number of pages typed by Inna in 1 hour = 6

Charges for 1 hour for Jim = $18

Number of pages typed by Jim in 1 hour = 8

Let x be the number of hours Inna work and let y be the number of hours Jim work.

Total cost = 15x + 18y

We have to minimize this cost.

Then, we can write the following inequalities:

6x + 8y \geq 208\\x \geq 8\\y \geq 8\\

The corner points as evaluated from graph are: (8,20) and (24,8)

C(8,20) = 480$

C(24,8) = 504$

Hence, the minimum cost would be 480$ when Inna works for 8 hours and Jim works for 20 hours.

The attached image shows the graph.

subsitute x = 6 into the lengths

3(6) -7

18 - 7

11cm

(6) + 5

11cm

therefore it is a square when x = 6 because the sides are all equal
