Answer:

The principal amont was $35,000

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

In this problem, we have that:

$E = 18375, t = 10, I = 0.0525$

We want to find P. So

$E = P*I*t$

$18375 = P*0.0525*10$

$0.525P = 18375$

$P = \frac{18375}{0.525}$

$P = 35000$

The principal amont was $35,000

What is the pobability that a number cube with six

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of outcomes for fair dice {1,2,3,4,5,6} = 6

Given : Favorable outcome = 5

i.e. Number of favorable outcomes =1

We know that the formula to find the probability for each event is given by :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Then, the probability that the six faces cube will land with the number 5 face up will be :_

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, the required probability = $\dfrac{1}{6}$

A cylinder shaped can needs to be constructed to hold 600 cubic centimeters of soup. The material for the sides of the can costs

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

the dimensions that minimize the cost of the cylinder are R= 3.85 cm and L=12.88 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume of a cylinder is

V= π*R²*L → L =V/ (π*R²)

the cost function is

Cost = cost of side material * side area + cost of top and bottom material * top and bottom area

C = a* 2*π*R*L + b* 2*π*R²

replacing the value of L

C = a* 2*π*R* V/ (π*R²) + b* 2*π*R² = a* 2*V/R + b* 2*π*R²

then the optimal radius for minimum cost can be found when the derivative of the cost with respect to the radius equals 0 , then

dC/dR = -2*a*V/R² + 4*π*b*R = 0

4*π*b*R = 2*a*V/R²

R³ = a*V/(2*π*b)

R= ∛( a*V/(2*π*b))

replacing values

R= ∛( a*V/(2*π*b)) = ∛(0.03$/cm² * 600 cm³ /(2*π* 0.05$/cm²) )= 3.85 cm

then

L =V/ (π*R²) = 600 cm³/(π*(3.85 cm)²) = 12.88 cm

therefore the dimensions that minimize the cost of the cylinder are R= 3.85 cm and L=12.88 cm

(cot^2x - 1)/(csc^2x) = cos2x

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is to get the left side simplified down so it is the same as the right side. Consequently, there are 3 identities for cos(2x):

$cos(2x)=cos^2x-sin^2x$ ,

$cos(2x)=1-2sin^2x$ , and

$cos(2x)=2cos^2x-1$

We begin by rewriting the left side in terms of sin and cos, since all the identities deal with sines and cosines and no cotangents or cosecants. Rewriting gives you:

$\frac{\frac{cos^2x}{sin^2x} -\frac{sin^2x}{sin^2x} }{\frac{1}{sin^2x} }$

Notice I also wrote the 1 in terms of sin^2(x).

Now we will put the numerator of the bigger fraction over the common denominator:

$\frac{\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{sin^2x} }{\frac{1}{sin^2x} }$

The rule is bring up the lower fraction and flip it to multiply, so that will give us:

$\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{sin^2x} *\frac{sin^2x}{1}$

And canceling out the sin^2 x leaves us with just

$cos^2x-sin^2x$ which is one of our identities.
