Answer:
{y,x} = {-6,-2}
Step-by-step explanation:
/ Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = 2x - 2
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] (2x-2) - x = -4
[1] x = -2
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = - 2
// By now we know this much :
y = 2x-2
x = -2
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 2(-2)-2 = -6
The graph is misleading because the year’s interval is not constant.
The first year to the second year, the gap is 1 year; in the second to the
third year, the gap is 2; in the third to the fourth year is 4; and the fourth
to the fifth year is 6.
We have
SinC/ c = Sin A / a
Sin 71/ 26 = Sin A / 27
Sin A = 27 Sin 71 / 26 = about .982
So°
Sin-1(.982) = A = 79. 08°
Then angle B = 180 - 71 - 79.08 = 29.92°
And b is given by
b/sin29.92 = 26/sin 71
b = 26sin29.92/sin71 = about 13.72
But A could also be an obtuse angle = 180 - 79.08 = 100.92°
So we have
B = 180 - 71 - 100.92 = 8.08°
And we have
b / sin 8.08 = 26/sin71
b = 26sin8.08/sin 71 = 3.865
