Medal for HELP :
The second question is it as two solutions.
Hmm you think so
yes, because it shows y=x-2 and -x+y=-5 and since there are two, there are two solutions.
it could be one though
since there are two equal signs it represents that there are two..that's what i recently learned.
alright y can you help me with the first one
I think it would be the first one
I dont think hes right Michele
but he might be with the first one
we can write this: \[a = c \times \cos B\]
so we have: \[\Large c = \frac{a}{{\cos B}} = \frac{a}{{\sqrt {1 - {{\left( {\sin B} \right)}^2}} }} = ...?\]
substituting our data, we get: \[\Large c = \frac{a}{{\cos B}} = \frac{a}{{\sqrt {1 - {{\left( {\sin B} \right)}^2}} }} = \frac{{20}}{{\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}}} = \frac{{40}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\]
now we have to rationalize. Please multiply both numerator and denominator by sqrt(3), what do you get?
I got 360
which cant be right
second question: If I substitute the first equation into the second one, I get: -x+x-2=-5 please simplify that expression
you get no solution
For the first one though I got 40
first question: \[c = \frac{a}{{\cos B}} = \frac{a}{{\sqrt {1 - {{\left( {\sin B} \right)}^2}} }} = \frac{{20}}{{\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}}} = \frac{{40}}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \frac{{40\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt 3 \times \sqrt 3 }} = ...?\]
\[\large c = \frac{a}{{\cos B}} = \frac{a}{{\sqrt {1 - {{\left( {\sin B} \right)}^2}} }} = \frac{{20}}{{\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}}} = \frac{{40}}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \frac{{40\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt 3 \times \sqrt 3 }} = ...?\]
I get |dw:1431978216548:dw| because i combined them
that's right!
sweet
hint: second question, after a simplification we have: -2=-5
well then two solutions then -2=-5
no, it is not an equation, since the statement -2=-5 is false, so we have no solutions
oh I thought you meant i was wrong... sorry my bad
Thank you for explaining those to me!
Thank you!
