At the fair, 2 corn dogs and 3 pretzels cost $13, and 5 corn dogs and 6 pretzels costs $28. How much

1 answer:

5 0

Let x represent the cost of corn dogs. Let y represent the cost of pretzels.

2x+3y=13
5x+6y=28

Multiply the first equation by two so that we can eliminate y.

Subtract:
4x+6y=26
5x+6y=28

-x=-2
x=2

4(2)+6y=26
8+6y=26
6y=18
y=3

3 x 2 = 6
6+2=8

Therefore, 2 pretzels and a corn dog would cost $8.

Simplify the expression by using a double-angle formula or a half-angle formula. (a) 2 tan(5°) 1 − tan2(5°)

antoniya [11.8K]

The question is related to trigonometry and we have to use the formula of double angle .

Here we use double angle formula of tangent function which is

$tan(2x) = \frac{2tan(x)}{1-tan^2(x)}$

Given expression is

$\frac{2tan (5 \degree)}{1-tan^2(5 \degree)}$

Comparing it with double angle formula, we will get x = 5

SO the required expression is equal to

$\frac{2tan (5 \degree)}{1-tan^2(5 \degree)} =tan(2*5 )$

$\frac{2tan (5 \degree)}{1-tan^2(5 \degree)} =tan(10 )$

So the answer is tan(10) .

In mathematics, the distance between one point (a) and another point (b), each with coordinates (x,y), can be computed by taking

anygoal [31]

The formula to find the distance between points $P_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ is given as $\sqrt{ ( y_{1}- y_{2}) ^{2}+ ( x_{1}- x_{2}) ^{2} }$ , where

$y_{1}- y_{2}$ is the vertical distance between two points on the y-axis
$x_{1} - x_{2}$ is the horizontal distance between two points on the x-axis
