Answer:

Each poodle requires 1 balloon(s) and each poodle requires 3 balloons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations that should be formed are:

3x + 3y = 12

3x + 2y = 9

In this scenario, x is the number of balloons required for a poodle, and y is the number of balloons required for a giraffe.

The question says that it should be solved using elimination.

This means that we have to completely reduce a variable to find the answer of the other remaining value. Since in both equations the coefficient of x is 3, they can cancel out when we subtract one from the other:

  3x + 3y = 12

-  3x + 2y = 9

-----------------------

            y = 3

This means that the number of balloons required for a giraffe is 3.

We can then put in this value of y, 3, into the equation to solve for x.

3x + 3 (3) = 12

3x + 9 = 12

3x = 12 - 9

3x = 3

 x = 1

This reduces into the number of balloons required for a poodle to be 1.

We can confirm by plugging it in into the other equation.

3x + 2 (3) = 9

3x + 6 = 9

3x = 9 - 6

3x = 3

x = 1

After confirming, this should be the answer.

Hopefully this helps!

Find the direction cosines and direction angles of the vector. (Give the direction angles correct to the nearest degree.) 5, 1,
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The direction cosines are:

\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }, \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }  and  \frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }  with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

The direction angles are:

40°,  81° and  52° with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given vector a = ai + aj + ak, its direction cosines are the cosines of the angles which it makes with the x, y and z axes.

If a makes angles α, β, and γ (which are the direction angles) with the x, y and z axes respectively, then its direction cosines are: cos α, cos β and cos γ in the x, y and z axes respectively.

Where;

cos α = \frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|}               ---------------------(i)

cos β = \frac{a.j}{|a||j|}               ---------------------(ii)

cos γ = \frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|}             ----------------------(iii)

<em>And from these we can get the direction angles as follows;</em>

α =  cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|} )

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.j}{|a||j|} )

γ = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|} )

Now to the question:

Let the given vector be

a = 5i + j + 4k

a . i =  (5i + j + 4k) . (i)

a . i = 5         [a.i <em>is just the x component of the vector</em>]

a . j = 1            [<em>the y component of the vector</em>]

a . k = 4          [<em>the z component of the vector</em>]

<em>Also</em>

|a|. |i| = |a|. |j| = |a|. |k| = |a|           [since |i| = |j| = |k| = 1]

|a| = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2 + 4^2}

|a| = \sqrt{25 + 1 + 16}

|a| = \sqrt{42}

Now substitute these values into equations (i) - (iii) to get the direction cosines. i.e

cos α = \frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }

cos β =  \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }              

cos γ =  \frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }

From the value, now find the direction angles as follows;

α =  cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|} )

α =  cos⁻¹ ( \frac{5}{\sqrt{42} } )

α =  cos⁻¹ (\frac{5}{6.481} )

α =  cos⁻¹ (0.7715)

α = 39.51

α = 40°

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.j}{|a||j|} )

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} } )

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{1}{6.481 } )

β = cos⁻¹ ( 0.1543 )

β = 81.12

β = 81°

γ = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|} )

γ = cos⁻¹ (\frac{4}{\sqrt{42} })

γ = cos⁻¹ (\frac{4}{6.481})

γ = cos⁻¹ (0.6172)

γ = 51.89

γ = 52°

<u>Conclusion:</u>

The direction cosines are:

\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }, \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }  and  \frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }  with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

The direction angles are:

40°,  81° and  52° with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.
