Recall the sum identity for cosine:

cos(a + b) = cos(a) cos(b) - sin(a) sin(b)

so that

cos(a + b) = 12/13 cos(a) - 8/17 sin(b)

Since both a and b terminate in the first quadrant, we know that both cos(a) and sin(b) are positive. Then using the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(a) + sin²(a) = 1   ⇒   cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 15/17

cos²(b) + sin²(b) = 1   ⇒   sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 5/13

Then

cos(a + b) = 12/13 • 15/17 - 8/17 • 5/13 = 140/221

How to solve a system of equations using elimination?

If  you have a problem like: 
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
 You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2

Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20

You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20

Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12

The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6

So your answers would be
x=2
y=6

Write the slope-intercept form of an equation that passes through the given points.<br> (4,1),(8,2)
Talja [164]

Answer:

y = 1/4x or y = 0.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are trying to write an equation with the given points.

To solve this question, we would use the slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

Find the slope by plugging in variables:

2-1/8-4

1/4 = m

The slope would be 1/4

Find the y intercept:

To find the y-intercept, you would need to use the slope you've found and one point, and plug it into the slope-intercept equation:

1 = 1/4(4) + b

Solve:

1 = 1/4(4) + b

1 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

0 = b

This means that the y-intercept is 0.

Our equation will be: y = 1/4x
