Solve each prportion. (2/y-4)=(y+3/4)

vampirchik [111]3 years ago

Answer:

y = 5, -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve proportions you cross-multiply.

\frac{2}{y-4} =\frac{y+3}{4} \rightarrow 2\times4 = (y-4)\times(y+3) \rightarrow 8=y^2-y-12

Now that we have 8 = y^2 - y - 12, we must make the entire trinomial equal to 0 by subtracting 8 from both sides.

y^2 - y - 20 = 0

Factor the trinomial.

(y - 5)(y + 4) = 0

Make both factors equal to 0 to solve for both values of y.

  • y - 5 = 0 --> y = 5
  • y + 4 = 0 --> y = -4

y = 5, -4

John & friends brought 4 bags of popcorn and 3 sodas at the movie for a total of 13.50. At the next movie John & friend
scoray [572]

Answer:

The cost of 5 bags of popcorn and 2 sodas is 14.25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x units be the cost of a popcorn bag and y units be cost of soda.

The cost of 4 bags of popcorn and 3 sodas is 13.50.

Thus, we can write the equation:

4x + 3y = 13.50

The cost of 2 bags of popcorn and 5 sodas is 12.00

Thus, we can write the equation:

2x+5y=12

Solving the two equations, we get,

4x + 3y-(4x+10y) = 13.5 - 24\\\Rightarrow -7y  =10.5\\\Rightarrow y = 1.5\\\Rightarrow 2x + 5(1.5) = 12\\\Rightarrow x = 2.25

Thus, the cost of popcorn bag is 2.25 units and the cost of a soda is 1.5 units.

Cost of  5 bags and 2 sodas

==5x+2y\\=5(2.25) + 2(1.5)\\=14.25

Thus, cost of 5 bags of popcorn and 2 sodas is 14.25 units.

Please help with any of this Im stuck and having trouble with pre calc is it basic triogmetric identities using quotient and rec
german

How I was taught all of these problems is in terms of r, x, and y. Where sin = y/r, cos = x/r, tan = y/x, csc = r/y, sec = r/x, cot = x/y. That is how I will designate all of the specific pieces in each problem.

#3

Let's start with sin here. \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} Therefore, because sin is y/r, r = \sqrt{5} and y = +2. Moving over to cot, which is x/y, x = -1, and y = 2. We know y has to be positive because it is positive in our given value of sin. Now, to find cos, we have to do x/r.

cos = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{-\sqrt{5}}{5}

#4

Let's start with secant here. Secant is r/x, where r (the length value/hypotenuse) cannot be negative. So, r = 9 and x = -7. Moving over to tan, x must still equal -7, and y = 4\sqrt{2}. Now, to find csc, we have to do r/y.

csc = \frac{9}{4\sqrt{2}} = \frac{9\sqrt{2}}{8}

The pythagorean identities are

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1,

1 + cot^2 = csc^2,

tan^2 + 1 = sec^2.

#5

Let's take a look at the information given here. We know that cos = -3/4, and sin (the y value), must be greater than 0. To find sin, we can use the first pythagorean identity.

sin^2 + (-3/4)^2 = 1

sin^2 + 9/16 = 1

sin^2 = 7/16

sin = \sqrt{7/16} = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}

Now to find tan using a pythagorean identity, we'll first need to find sec. sec is the inverse/reciprocal of cos, so therefore sec = -4/3. Now, we can use the third trigonometric identity to find tan, just as we did for sin. And, since we know that our y value is positive, and our x value is negative, tan will be negative.

tan^2 + 1 = (-4/3)^2

tan^2 + 1 = 16/9

tan^2 = 7/9

tan = -\sqrt{7/9} = \frac{-\sqrt{7}}{3}

#6

Let's take a look at the information given here. If we know that csc is negative, then our y value must also be negative (r will never be negative). So, if cot must be positive, then our x value must also be negative (a negative divided by a negative makes a positive). Let's use the second pythagorean identity to solve for cot.

1 + cot^2 = (\frac{-\sqrt{6}}{2})^{2}

1 + cot^2 = 6/4

cot^2 = 2/4

cot = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

tan = \sqrt{2}

Next, we can use the third trigonometric identity to solve for sec. Remember that we can get tan from cot, and cos from sec. And, from what we determined in the beginning, sec/cos will be negative.

(\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}})^2 + 1 = sec^2

4/2 + 1 = sec^2

2 + 1 = sec^2

sec^2 = 3

sec = -\sqrt{3}

cos = \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}

Hope this helps!! :)

Factor out the coefficient of the variable 1.7j-3.4
Ad libitum [116K]
Here you would factor out a 1.7 because that is the coefficient in front of the j. When you factor, you are essentially dividing each term by the value you are factoring out
1.7j/1.7=j
-3.4/1.7=-2

So the final answer is 1/7(j-2)

Hope this helps<span />
