Law of cosines
:
The law of cosines establishes:
general guidelines:
The law of cosines is used to find the missing parts of an oblique triangle (not rectangle) when either the two-sided measurements and the included angle measure are known (SAS) or the lengths of the three sides (SSS) are known.
Law of the sines:
In ΔABC is an oblique triangle with sides a, b, and c, then:
The law of the sines is the relation between the sides and angles of triangles not rectangles (obliques). It simply states that the ratio of the length of one side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite to that side is equal for all sides and angles in a given triangle.
General guidelines:
To use the law of the sines you need to know either two angles and one side of the triangle (AAS or ASA) or two sides and an opposite angle of one of them (SSA).
The ambiguous case
:
If two sides and an angle opposite one of them is given, three possibilities may occur.
(1) The triangle does not exist.
(2) Two different triangles exist.
(3) Exactly a triangle exists.
If we are given two sides and an included angle of a triangle or if we are given 3 sides of a triangle, we can not use the law of the sines because we can not establish any proportion where sufficient information is known. In these two cases we must use the law of cosines
<span>y = -1/2x +2 1/2</span>
General equation;
y = mx + c
Calculating the slope;
Change in y/ (change in x) = gradient m
(2-1)/(1-3) = - 1/2
Replacing m gives;
y= -1/2x + c
Calculating the value of c
take point (1,2) above and replace y with 2 and x with 1
2=-1/2 *1 +c
c = 2 1/2
Equation then is
y = -1/2x +2 1/2
A. The ratio of lynx to mountain lions to wolverines is 2:3:1.
Thus, there are 2 lynx in the ratio. If there were 6 lynx, we would have to multiply all of the numbers in the ratio by 3 (because 6/2 = 3) to keep the ratio in the same proportion.
Therefore, because there is 1 wolverine in the ratio, and 1 * 3 = 3, if there were 6 lynx, there would be 3 wolverines.
b. We can use the same ideas that we had in part a to help us in part b.
There are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, but there are 15 mountain lions in the problem. Thus, the multiplier is 5, because 15/3=5.
Therefore, because there are 2 lynx in the ratio, and 2*5 = 10, if there were 15 mountain lions, there would be 10 lynx.
c. There is one wolverine in the ratio, but there are 10 wolverines in the problem. Thus, the multiplier is 10, because 10/1 = 10
Therefore, because there are 3 mountain lions in the ratio, and 3 * 10 = 30, if there were 10 wolverines in the park, then there would be 30 mountain lions.
d. The total number of lynx, mountain lions, and wolverines is 30.
To find out how many of each animal there should be, we must make an equation using the ratio and the variable x.
2x + 3x + 1x = 30
This equation means that the total number of animals together is 30, which is true. Now let's simplify by combining like terms.
6x = 30
Finally, we can simplify by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x, or 6.
x = 5
Thus, going back to our original equation, we know that the amount of lynx is 2x, mountain lions is 3x, and wolverines is 1x.
Lynx = 2x = 2(5) = 10 lynx
Mountain Lion = 3x = 3(5) = 15 mountain lions
Wolverines = 1x = 1(5) = 5 wolverines
Hope this helps! :)
