By definition you have that the tangent of an angle in a right triangle is given by the quotient between the sine of the angle and the cosine of the angle.
Since we know how much the sine and the cosine measure (we have the sides of the triangles as data), then the tangent is given by:
A. tan Y= y/z
answer
A. tan Y= y/z
The answer can be readily calculated using a single variable, x:
Let x = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 10%
Let (8000 - x) = the amount being invested at an annual rate of 12%
The problem is then stated as:
(x * 0.10) + ((8000 - x) * 0.12) = 900
0.10(x) + ((8000 * 0.12) - 0.12(x)) = 900
0.10(x) + 960 - 0.12(x) = 900
0.10(x) - 0.12(x) = 900 - 960
-0.02(x) = -60
-0.02(x) * -100/2 = -60 * -100/2
x = 6000 / 2
x = 3000
Thus, $3,000 is invested at 10% = $300 annually; and $8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000 invested at 12% = $600 annually, which sum to $900 annual investment.
It will be (6,4) all u do is slip it over t he x-axis
