Answer:

x = -3 , y = 2 thus D) is your answer

Step-by-step explanation by substitution:

Solve the following system:

{-9 = x - 3 y

6 - 2 x = 6 y

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for x:

{-9 = x - 3 y

6 - 2 x = 6 y

Hint: | Reverse the equality in -9 = x - 3 y in order to isolate x to the left hand side.

-9 = x - 3 y is equivalent to x - 3 y = -9:

{x - 3 y = -9

6 - 2 x = 6 y

Hint: | Solve for x.

Add 3 y to both sides:

{x = 3 y - 9

6 - 2 x = 6 y

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = 3 y - 9 into the second equation:

{x = 3 y - 9

6 - 2 (3 y - 9) = 6 y

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation 6 - 2 (3 y - 9) = 6 y.

6 - 2 (3 y - 9) = (18 - 6 y) + 6 = 24 - 6 y:

{x = 3 y - 9

24 - 6 y = 6 y

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for y:

{x = 3 y - 9

24 - 6 y = 6 y

Hint: | Isolate y to the left hand side.

Subtract 6 y + 24 from both sides:

{x = 3 y - 9

-12 y = -24

Hint: | Solve for y.

Divide both sides by -12:

{x = 3 y - 9

y = 2

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 2 into the first equation:

Answer: {x = -3 , y = 2

Answer:

Part 5.1.1:

$\displaystyle \cos 2A = \frac{7}{8}$

Part 5.1.2:

$\displaystyle \cos A = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

$\displaystyle \sin 2A = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{8}$

Part 5.1.1

Recall that:

$\displaystyle \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$

Let θ = 2A. Hence:

$\displaystyle \sin ^2 2A + \cos ^2 2A = 1$

Square the original equation:

$\displaystyle \sin^2 2A = \frac{15}{64}$

Hence:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{15}{64}\right) + \cos ^2 2A = 1$

Subtract:

$\displaystyle \cos ^2 2A = \frac{49}{64}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\displaystyle \cos 2A = \pm\sqrt{\frac{49}{64}}$

Since 0° ≤ 2A ≤ 90°, cos(2A) must be positive. Hence:

$\displaystyle \cos 2A = \frac{7}{8}$

Part 5.1.2

Recall that:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \cos 2\theta &= \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta \\ &= 1- 2\sin^2\theta \\ &= 2\cos^2\theta - 1\end{aligned}$

We can use the third form. Substitute:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{7}{8}\right) = 2\cos^2 A - 1$

Solve for cosine:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{15}{8} &= 2\cos^2 A\\ \\ \cos^2 A &= \frac{15}{16} \\ \\ \cos A& = \pm\sqrt{\frac{15}{16}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \cos A &= \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}\end{aligned}$

In conclusion:

$\displaystyle \cos A = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

(Note that since 0° ≤ 2A ≤ 90°, 0° ≤ A ≤ 45°. Hence, cos(A) must be positive.)

If five notebooks cost $5.25 , how much would three notebooks cost?

weqwewe [10]

Set it up as a ratio. $5.25/5 = $1.05 per notebook

Then solve your equation by multiplying the cost by 3. 3 * $1.05 = $3.15
