You use the law of cosines actually to find the length of 'a' a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(A) a^2 = 12^2 + 9^2 - 2*12*9*cos(105) a^2 = 225 - 216*cos(105) a^2 = 225 - 216*(-0.258819) a^2 = 280.904904 a = sqrt(280.904904) a = 16.76021789 Now that you know that a = 16.76021789 b = 12 c = 9 You can use the law of sines to find angles B and C. I'll show you how to find angle B and I'll let you find angle C sin(B)/b = sin(A)/a sin(B)/12 = sin(105)/16.76021789 sin(B)/12 = 0.9659258/16.76021789 sin(B)/12 = 0.0576321 sin(B) = 12*0.0576321 sin(B) = 0.6915852 B = arcsin(0.6915852) B = 43.7557225 So the angle B is roughly 43.7557225 degrees I'll let you find angle C Note: there are 2 ways to find angle C, you can use the fact that A+B+C = 180 (ie all angles must add to 180) or you can use the law of sines again.

Functions/683926: Is the following relation a function? Explain your answer. (1,2), (2,3), (2,5), (2,7) 1 solutions Answer 423808 by jim_thompson5910(28504)   on 2012-11-22 12:42:09 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The x value of 2 maps to y = 3, y = 5 and y = 7 at the same time. So it is NOT a function. It is only a function when every x value maps to EXACTLY ONE y value. Note: Let's say that this requirement wasn't part of the definition of a function. If we have (2,3) and (2,5), then what is f(2)? Is it 3? or is it 5? It can't be both at the same time since f(2) is a single number. This is why the definition above is put in place.

If the system has infinitely many solutions,write the set with z arbitrary. 5x-3y+z=0 x+y=0 -15x+9y-3z=0 Thanks 1 solutions Answer 423804 by jim_thompson5910(28504)   on 2012-11-22 12:23:59 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=0 y=-x ----------------------- 5x-3y+z=0 5x-3(-x)+z=0 5x+3x+z=0 8x+z=0 ---------------------- -15x+9y-3z=0 -15x+9(-x)-3z=0 -15x-9x-3z=0 -24x-3z=0 --------------------- So we have the new system of equations 8x+z=0 -24x-3z=0 3(8x+z)=3*0 -24x-3z=0 24x+3z=0 -24x-3z=0 ---------- 0x+0y=0 0=0 Since that equation is ALWAYS true regardless of what x, y and z are, this means that there are an infinite number of solutions. Solve the first equation for x to get 8x+z = 0 8x = -z x = -z/8 Since y = -x, we know that y = -(-z/8) ----> y = z/8 So in the end, x = -z/8, y = z/8 and z is a free variable (ie it can be any number) Therefore, the final answer as an ordered triple is ============================================================================ Note: what does mean exactly? Well... *** If z = 8, then becomes which turns into which is one of the infinitely many solutions. If you plug x = -1, y = 1 and z = 8 into the original system, you'll find that all 3 satisfy all 3 equations. *** If z = 16, then becomes which turns into which is another solution of the infinitely many solutions. If you plug x = -2, y = 2 and z = 16 into the original system, you'll find that all 3 satisfy all 3 equations. You can plug in ANY real number for 'z' to get an ordered triple that is a solution to the original system of equations.

Travel_Word_Problems/683920: If I am going 55 mph and another car is driving a mile behind me going the exact speed will they catch up to me? 1 solutions Answer 423803 by jim_thompson5910(28504)   on 2012-11-22 12:18:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! No they will not because you both will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. However, you will have traveled a bit more distance because you got the head start. Since the car behind you travels the same distance as you (minus that head start), the car will never catch up or pass you.

Equations/683918: The density of an object is W/V. If the density of an object is 5.25x10^-7 oz/ft^3? and the volume is 2.2x10^3 ft^3, then find the weight? Honestly i get to an answer 2.39 x10^-10 but i guess it's nor right So i'm be happy if somebody can help me out? 1 solutions Answer 423802 by jim_thompson5910(28504)   on 2012-11-22 12:15:58 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! D = W/V 5.25x10^-7 = W/(2.2x10^3) (5.25x10^-7)*(2.2x10^3) = W (5.25*2.2)x(10^-7*10^3) = W (11.55)x(10^-4) = W (1.155 x 10^1)x(10^-4) = W 1.155 x (10^1*10^-4) = W 1.155 x 10^-3 = W W = 1.155 x 10^-3 So the weight is roughly 1.155 x 10^-3 ounces or 0.001155 ounces.
