A triangle has side lengths 4, 7 and 9. What is the measure of the angle across from the longest side?

92 = 42 + 72 − 2g4g7cos(A)
81 = 16 + 49 − 56cos(A)
81 = 9cos(A)
9 = cos(A)
A cannot exist!

Gabe tried to use the law of cosines to find an unknown angle measure in a triangle. His work is shown. What is Gabe’s error?

a. Gabe reversed the order of the 9 and the 4.

b. Gabe squared the numbers incorrectly.

c. Gabe should not have subtracted 56 from
16 + 49.

d. Gabe incorrectly stated that cos–1(9) is not defined.

Aschool typically sells 500 yearbooks each year for 50 dollars each. the economic calls does a project and discovers that they can sell 100 more yearbooks for every $5 decrease in price. the revenue for yearbook sales is equal to the number of yearbooks sold times the price of the yearbook. let x represent the number of $5 decrease in price. if the expression that represents the revenue is written in the form r(x)=(500+ax)(50-bx). to maximize profit, what price should the school charge for the yearbooks? what is the possible maximum revenue? if the school attains the maximum revenue, how many yearbooks will they sell?
