Given: ∠AOC, ∠BOC - complementary angles
34kurt

Answer:

  • 30
  • COB . . . . or . . . . BOC

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason given on the line of interest is "substitution," so the problem boils down to determining what was substituted for what. The previous statement says ...

  AOC + COB = 90

and the first part of the statement we're to complete has BOC + ___.

We see from the given statements that m∠AOC = m∠BOC + 30°, so it appears that is the substitution that has been made: AOC has been replaced by BOC + 30.

This means the first blank is filled with 30.

__

The second part of the previous statement is ...

  AOC + COB = 90

so we believe this (COB) should go in the second blank.

__

Then the line of interest would read ...

  BOC + 30 + COB = 90

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

There is a curious mix of notations here. Usually, (as in the beginning of this problem) we refer to the measure of an angle using "m∠" in front of the angle designator, and we use a degree symbol to indicate the units of that measure. Part-way through the problem statement written here, those notations were dropped, and we're to assume they are intended. IMO, this is a poor way to demonstrate careful problem solving.

The substitution given for AOC is BOC+30, but the line into which that is substituted has AOC +COB = 90. This means the equation after substitution is ...

  BOC +30 +COB = 90

Since BOC and COB are the same angle, we can sort of fudge the "algebra" to get to  BOC=30, but if the problem were more carefully written, the angle would be referred to by consistent nomenclature:

  m∠AOC + m∠BOC = 90° . . . . . . . . . preferred angle designations

  (m∠BOC + 30°) + m∠BOC = 90° . . . . substitution for m∠AOC

  2(m∠BOC) = 60° . . . . . . algebra (subtract 30°, collect terms)

  m∠BOC = 30° . . . . . . . . algebra (divide by 2)

How do you create your equations when working on a mixture word problem?

Let's try to think about the general form of a word problem involving mixtures.

In general, we have the following scenario:

a merchant sells two kinds of products (coffee, sweets, etc).

we know the unit prices for both kinds of products and for the final mixture

p

1

US dollars per pound for the first kind of product,

p

2

US dollars per pound for the second kind of product

p

m

US dollars per pound for the mixture

we know the total quantity formed by the mixture of the two products (

q

pounds)

we have to find out the quantities of each product needed to form the mixture

(here we have the variables:

x

denoting the quantity of the first kind of product and

y

denoting the quantity of the second kind of product)

Now, we have sufficient information to work out the equations.

First, we know that the sum of the two quantities is

q

pounds, which gives us the first equation:

x

+

y

=

q

Second, we know that the sale price is the product of quantity and unit price, which gives us the second equation:

p

1

x

+

p

2

y

=

p

m

⋅

q

Now, we have a system of two linear equations that can be easily solved by substitution.

tankabanditka [31]
PV = P(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r; where P is the periodic withdrawal = $100,000; r = rate = 5% = 0.05; n = number of periods = 20 years.

PV = 100000(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-20) / 0.05 = 100000(1 - 1.05^-20) / 0.05 = 100000(1 - 0.3769) / 0.05 = 100000(0.6231) / 0.05 = 100000(12.4622) = 1,246,221 ≈ $1,250,000
