The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient Rome. Suppose it costs the Roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legio

naries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?

Answer:

The system cannot be solved by a unique cost for each soldier, because has infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the cost of a legionary per day

y-------> the cost of an archer per day

we know that

4x+4y=10 ------> equation A

2x+2y=5 ------> equation B

Multiply equation B by 2 both sides

2(2x+2y)=2*5 -------> 4x+4y=10

so

equation A and equation B is the same equation

therefore

This is a consistent dependent system

The system has infinite solutions

Answer:

The ball shall keep rising tills its velocity becomes zero. Let it rise to a height h feet from point of projection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the point of projection of the ball as origin of the coordinate system, the upward direction as positive and down direction as negative.

Initial velocity u with which the ball is projected upwards = + 120 ft/s

Uniform acceleration a acting on the ball is to acceleration due to gravity = - 32 ft/s²

The ball shall keep rising tills its velocity becomes zero. Let it rise to a height h feet from point of projection.

Using the formula:

v² - u² = 2 a h,

where

u = initial velocity of the ball = +120 ft/s

v = final velocity of the ball at the highest point = 0 ft/s

a = uniform acceleration acting on the ball = -32 ft/s²

h = height attained

Substituting the values we get;

0² - 120² = 2 × (- 32) h

=> h = 120²/2 × 32 = 225 feet

The height of the ball from the ground at its highest point = 225 feet + 12 feet = 237 feet.

Use your understanding of the unit circle and trigonometric functions to find the values requested.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a) For this case we can use the fact that sin (\pi/3) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

And for this case since we ar einterested on -\frac{\pi}{3} and we know that the if we are below the y axis the sine would be negative then:

sin (-\pi/3) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

b) From definition we can use the fact that tan x= \frac{sin x}{cos x} and we got this:

tan (5\pi/4) = \frac{sin(5\pi/4)}{cos(5\pi/4)}

We can use the notabl angle \pi/4 and we know that :

sin (\pi/4) = cos(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Then we know that 5\pi/4 correspond to 225 degrees and that correspond to the III quadrant, and we know that the sine and cosine are negative on this quadrant. So then we have this:

tan (5\pi/4) = \frac{sin(5\pi/4)}{cos(5\pi/4)}= \frac{\frac{sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the notable angls given on the picture attached.

Part a

For this case we can use the fact that sin (\pi/3) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

And for this case since we ar einterested on -\frac{\pi}{3} and we know that the if we are below the y axis the sine would be negative then:

sin (-\pi/3) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Part b

From definition we can use the fact that tan x= \frac{sin x}{cos x} and we got this:

tan (5\pi/4) = \frac{sin(5\pi/4)}{cos(5\pi/4)}

We can use the notabl angle \pi/4 and we know that :

sin (\pi/4) = cos(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Then we know that 5\pi/4 correspond to 225 degrees and that correspond to the III quadrant, and we know that the sine and cosine are negative on this quadrant. So then we have this:

tan (5\pi/4) = \frac{sin(5\pi/4)}{cos(5\pi/4)}= \frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = 1
