Option (a) is correct .

i.e  take 10% of $85

Reason

As given

15% and 10% on a $100 item i.e first applied 15 % discount on $ 100 and than apply 10% discount .

15 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

Amount becomes when 15 % discount on$100 = 100 - 0.15 × 100

                                                                              = 100 - 15

                                                                              = $ 85

Now apply 10 % discount on $ 85.

10 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{10}{100}

= 0.1

Amount becomes when 15 % discount on$100 = 85- 0.1 × 85

                                                                              = 85 - 8.5

                                                                              = $ 76.5

Therefore the option (a) is correct about the  successive discounts of 15% and 10% on a $100 item is $76.5 .

If a and b are two angles in standard position in Quadrant I, find cos(a+b) for the given function values. sin a=8/17and cos b=1
n200080 [17]

Recall the sum identity for cosine:

cos(a + b) = cos(a) cos(b) - sin(a) sin(b)

so that

cos(a + b) = 12/13 cos(a) - 8/17 sin(b)

Since both a and b terminate in the first quadrant, we know that both cos(a) and sin(b) are positive. Then using the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(a) + sin²(a) = 1   ⇒   cos(a) = √(1 - sin²(a)) = 15/17

cos²(b) + sin²(b) = 1   ⇒   sin(b) = √(1 - cos²(b)) = 5/13

Then

cos(a + b) = 12/13 • 15/17 - 8/17 • 5/13 = 140/221
