2.5 pounds of apples * $1.20 = $3
He spent total $4.50
So he had to have spent 1.50 on oranges.
So $1.50=$1.20 x where x will be the pound of oranges bought.
1.50/1.20 = 1.25 or 1 1/4 pounds of oranges.
I'll try it.
I just went through this twice on scratch paper. The first time was to
see if I could do it, and the second time was because the first result
I got was ridiculous. But I think I got it.
You said <span><u>3sin²(x) = cos²(x)</u>
Use this trig identity: sin²(x) = 1 - cos²(x)
Plug it into the original equation for (x).
3(1 - cos²(x) ) = cos²(x)
Remove parentheses on the left: 3 - 3cos²(x) = cos²(x)
Add 3cos²(x) to each side: 3 = 4cos²(x)
Divide each side by 4 : 3/4 = cos²(x)
Take the square root of each side: <em>cos(x) = (√3) / 2</em> .
There it is ... the cosine of the unknown angle.
Now you just go look it up in a book with a table cosines,
or else pinch it through your computer or your calculator,
or else just remember that you've learned that
cos( <em><u>30°</u></em> ) = </span><span><span>(√3) / 2 </span>.

You need to show II in this picture for us to know what it’s asking! :(
The answer is 7 remainder 2.
