Answer:
D) cot(C) = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can go through each choice and examine is validity.
Choice A)
We have:
Recall that secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent.
With respect to B, the adjacent is 6 and the hypotenuse is 7.
Therefore, sec(B) should be 7/6 instead.
A is incorrect.
Choice B)
We have:
Cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to B, the adjacent side is 6 and the opposite side is 3.
Therefore, cot(B) = 6/3 = 2.
B is incorrect.
Choice C)
C is incorrect for the reasons listed in A.
Choice D)
We have:
Again, cotangent is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite.
With respect to C, the adjacent side is 3 and the opposite side is 6.
So, cot(C) = 3/6 = 1/2.
Therefore, D is the correct choice!
Answer:
Option b is correct (8,13).
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 4y = 4

it can be represented in matrix form as![\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-4\\10&-6\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}4\\2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D7%26-4%5C%5C10%26-6%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D4%5C%5C2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

i.e, AX=B
or X= A⁻¹ B
A⁻¹ = 1/|A| * Adj A
determinant of A = |A|= (7*-6) - (-4*10)
= (-42)-(-40)
= (-42) + 40 = -2
so, |A| = -2

x= 8, y= 13
solution set= (8,13).
Option b is correct.
Answer:
3 miles and then 3 per mile for each additional mile
Answer: She should blend 98 lbs of high-quality beans.
She should blend 72 lbs of cheaper beans
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of high quality beans that she should blend.
Let y represent the number of pounds of cheaper beans that she should blend.
She needs to prepare 170 lbs of blended coffee beans. This means that
x + y = 170
She plans to do this by blending together a high-quality bean costing $4.75 per pound and a cheaper bean at $2.00 per pound. The blend would sell for $3.59 per pound. This means that the total cost of the blend would be 3.59×170 = $610.3. This means that
4.75x + 2y = 610.3 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 170 - y into equation 1, it becomes
4.75(170 - y) + 2y = 610.3
807.5 - 4.75y + 2y = 610.3
- 4.75y + 2y = 610.3 - 807.5
- 2.75y = - 197.2
y = - 197.2/-2.75 = 71.9
y = 72 pounds
x = 170 - y = 170 - 71.9
x = 98.1
x = 98 pounds
The answer to this problem is X<3
