Answer:
Orion's belt width is 184 light years
Step-by-step explanation:
So we want to find the distance between Alnitak and Mintaka, which is the Orions belts
Let the distance between the Alnitak and Mintaka be x,
Then applying cosine
c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ
The triangle is formed by the 736 light-years and 915 light years
Artemis from Alnitak is
a = 736lightyear
Artemis from Mintaka is
b = 915 light year
The angle between Alnitak and Mintaka is θ=3°
Then,
Applying the cosine rule
c²=a²+b²—2•a•b•Cosθ
c² =736² + 915² - 2×, 736×915×Cos3
c² = 541,696 + 837,225 - 1,345,034.1477702404
c² = 33,886.85222975954
c = √33,886.85222975954
c = 184.0838184897 light years
c = 184.08 light years
So, to the nearest light year, Orion's belt width is 184 light years
Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50
