Answer:

The first first in solving for x is do the distributive property to the left and right of the eqaution. Distribute 2 with 6x and 6. Distribute 3 with x and -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS states that you do things in the parenthesis first.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Consider the following:

$A=\frac{\pi}{4}=45°\\\\B=\frac{\pi}{3}=60°$

Use sine rule,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sinB}{\sin A}
\\\\=\frac{\sin{\frac{\pi}{3}}
}{\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}}\\\\=\frac{[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

Again consider,

$\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sin{B}}{\sin{A}}
\\\\\sin{B}=\frac{b}{a}\times \sin{A}\\\\\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin {A}\\\\B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Thus, the angle B is function of A is, $B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

Now find $\frac{dB}{dA}$

Differentiate implicitly the function $\sin{B}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}$ with respect to A to get,

$\cos {B}.\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\cos A\\\\\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos A}{\cos B}$

When $A=\frac{\pi}{4},B=\frac{\pi}{3}$ , the value of $\frac{dB}{dA}$ is,

$\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\cos {\frac{\pi}{4}}}{\cos {\frac{\pi}{3}}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3}$

In general, the linear approximation at x= a is,

$f(x)=f'(x).(x-a)+f(a)$

Here the function $f(A)=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{A}]$

At $A=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$f(\frac{\pi}{4})=B=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sin{\frac{\pi}{4}}]\\\\=\sin^{-1}[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}]\\\\\=\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\\\\=\frac{\pi}{3}$

And,

$f'(A)=\frac{dB}{dA}=\sqrt{3}$ from part b

Therefore, the linear approximation at $A=\frac{\pi}{4}$ is,

$f(x)=f'(A).(x-A)+f(A)\\\\=f'(\frac{\pi}{4}).(x-\frac{\pi}{4})+f(\frac{\pi}{4})\\\\=\sqrt{3}.[x-\frac{\pi}{4}]+\frac{\pi}{3}$

Use part (c), when $A=46°$ , B is approximately,

$B=f(46°)=\sqrt{3}[46°-\frac{\pi}{4}]+\frac{\pi}{3}\\\\=\sqrt{3}(1°)+\frac{\pi}{3}\\\\=61.732°$

A car travels 322 miles on 11.5 gallons of gas. What is the cars miles per gallon

kolbaska11 [484]

28 miles per gallon. To find miles per gallon you do miles divided by gallons which in this case is 322/11.5=28.
