SinB = 9/41

I explained my reasoning down below

Well, here's one way to do it at least... 

<span>For reference, let 'a' be the side opposite A (segment BC), 'b' be the side opposite B (segment AC) and 'c' be the side opposite C (segment AB). </span>

<span>Let P=(4,0) be the projection of B onto the x-axis. </span>
<span>Let Q=(-3,0) be the projection of C onto the x-axis. </span>

<span>Look at the angle QAC. It has tangent = 5/4 (do you see why?), so angle A is atan(5/4). </span>

<span>Likewise, angle PAB has tangent = 6/3 = 2, so angle PAB is atan(2). </span>

<span>Angle A, then, is 180 - atan(5/4) - atan(2) = 65.225. One down, two to go. </span>

<span>||b|| = sqrt(41) (use Pythagorian Theorum on triangle AQC) </span>
<span>||c|| = sqrt(45) (use Pythagorian Theorum on triangle APB) </span>

<span>Using the Law of Cosines... </span>
<span>||a||^2 = ||b||^2 + ||c||^2 - 2(||b||)(||c||)cos(A) </span>
<span>||a||^2 = 41 + 45 - 2(sqrt(41))(sqrt(45))(.4191) </span>
<span>||a||^2 = 86 - 36 </span>
<span>||a||^2 = 50 </span>
<span>||a|| = sqrt(50) </span>

<span>Now apply the Law of Sines to find the other two angles. </span>

<span>||b|| / sin(B) = ||a|| / sin(A) </span>
<span>sqrt(41) / sin(B) = sqrt(50) / .9080 </span>
<span>(.9080)sqrt(41) / sqrt(50) = sin(B) </span>
<span>.8222 = sin(B) </span>
<span>asin(.8222) = B </span>
<span>55.305 = B </span>

<span>Two down, one to go... </span>

<span>||c|| / sin(C) = ||a|| / sin(A) </span>
<span>sqrt(45) / sin(C) = sqrt(50) / .9080 </span>
<span>(.9080)sqrt(45) / sqrt(50) = sin(C) </span>
<span>.8614 = sin(C) </span>
<span>asin(.8614) = C </span>
<span>59.470 = C </span>

<span>So your three angles are: </span>

<span>A = 65.225 </span>
<span>B = 55.305 </span>
<span>C = 59.470 </span>

What is the finance charge on $13,300 financed at 7.9 percent for 4 years if the monthly payment per $100 is $2.44?
luda_lava [24]

If you borrowed $100, then your monthly payment is $2.44

If you borrowed $200, then your monthly payment is 2*2.44 = 4.88

etc etc

We can set up a proportion

2.44/100 = x/13300

to figure out the monthly payment x. Cross multiply and solve for x

2.44*13300 = 100*x

100x = 2.44*13300

100x = 32452

x = 32452/100

x = 324.52

So the monthly payment is $324.52

An alternative way to get this monthly payment is to apply 2.44% to 13300, which is another way to view the phrase  "monthly payment per $100 is 2.44"

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

There are 48 months in 4 years (start with 12 mon = 1 yr, then multiply both sides by 4) so we multiply 48 by the monthly payment to get the result 48*324.52 = 15,576.96. This is the total amount you have to pay back which is the principal plus interest.

Subtract off the principal (amount borrowed) to find the interest or finance charge: 15,576.96 - 13,300 = 2,276.96

Answer: Choice B

For Joe's illness, the doctor gave him a prescription of 28 pills. He needs to take 4 pills the first day, and then 2 pills each
kiruha [24]

Answer:

12 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

I looked at it this way:

He has to take 4/28 pills the first day, so it's 28-4=24. Then I divided 24 by 2.

In simpler terms:

28-4=24

24/2

12
