Answer:
$1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 8 pints in a gallon so divide 12 and 8 to find the cost of 1 pint
Reduce the expression, if possible, by cancelling the common factors.
Just work with it as seperate triangles and then add them up.

3a2 + -2a + -1 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0
Solving
-1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Factor a trinomial.
(-1 + -3a)(1 + -1a) = 0
Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-1 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-1 + -3a = 0
Solving
-1 + -3a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -3a = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -3a = 0 + 1
-3a = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-3a = 1
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = -0.3333333333
Simplifying
a = -0.3333333333
Subproblem 2Set the factor '(1 + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
1 + -1a = 0
Solving
1 + -1a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1a = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1a = 0 + -1
-1a = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1a = -1
Divide each side by '-1'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1Solutiona = {-0.3333333333, 1}</span>

Answer: 5 cm</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Recall that the range for cosine is from -1 to 1, including both endpoints. The smallest cosine value is what we're after, since we want the height to be as small as possible (to allow the blade be closest to the table).
Effectively, this means we replace the cos(x) with -1 so that it's as small as possible. Then we compute to get:
20*cos(x)+25
20*(-1) + 25
-20 + 25

The height of the fan tip is 5 cm when it is the closest to the table.
Side note: On the flip side, the furthest away the fan tip can get is 20*(1) + 25 = 45 cm. Therefore, the range of y values is
