A 'tangent' to a line means the derivative. You can differentiate the function as follows:
f(x) = x+sin(x)
f'(x) = 1+cos(x)

At a horizontal tangent, the derivative is equal to 0. So, let's set it equal to 0, and solve for x. Remember, whenever doing trigonometry in calculus, we assume we are answering in radians. So:
f'(x) = 1+cos(x)
0 = 1+cos(x)
-1=cos(x)

The values at which cos(x) equals -1 are π, and then 3π, 5π and so on. You basically just keep adding 2π to the previous number and get the answer. So, this can be written as:
a_n = a_{(n-1)}+2 \pi

That will be your final answer. You could write this as an infinite series, but I just didn't want to complicate it. So, if you want one, I can give you one.

A phone sells for $137.99. It is now on sale for 1/10 off the original price. Tom has a coupon for an extra 5% off the sale pric
vlabodo [156]

Answer: Tom will pay $20.01 lesser than the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the phone is $137.99. It is now on sale for 1/10 off the original price. This means that the discount on the original price is 1/10 × 137.99 = 13.799. The new price will be the original price - the discount.

The new price is 137.99 - 13.799 = $124.191

Tom has a coupon for an extra 5% off the sale price. It means that Tom would pay 5% off $124.191. The amount that Tom would pay will be

124.191 - (5/100 × 124.191) = 124.191 - 6.20955 = $117.98

The difference between the original price and the price that Tom will pay is

137.99 - 117.98 = $20.01

How do you solve this problem? (x+3) cubed
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
You would expand becausee it isn't equal to anything

(x+3)^3=(x+3)(x+3)(x+3)
we can use binomial theorem or pascal's triangle
anyway, pascal's triangle is more practicl for this one

so
for the 3rd power
(a+b)^3=1a^3+3a^2b^1+3a^1b^2+1b^3

a=x
b=3

(x+3)^3=1x^3+3x^2(3^1)+3x^1(3)^2+1(3)^3=
x^3+9x^2+27x+27

With an interest rate of 3.25% over 4 years, how much money was originally deposited if
padilas [110]
Interest = Principle(Rate)(Time)
$84.50 = P(0.0325)(4)
$84.50 = P(0.13)
$84.50/0.13 = P
P = 650

$650 was originally deposited.
