Answer:

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price is 499

Discount = original price * percent off

Discount = 499 * .18

               =89.82

The sale price = original price minus the discount

sale price = 499-89.82

sale price = 409.18

Sales tax = sale price * tax rate

                = 409.18 * 8.875%

                =409.18*.08875

                 =36.314725

Rounding to the nearest cent

                     36.31

Final cost = sale price + sales tax

                  =409.18+36.31

                   445.49

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Find cos theta if sin theta = 2/3. assume the terminal side of the angel falls in quadrant 2
kow [346]
Well knowing that the terminal arm of the standard position angle is in quadrant 2, we can determine the reference angle, in quadrant 2, by simply taking the difference between 180 and whatever the angle is.

So ø reference = 180 - ø in standard position.

Regardless, the reference angle is in quadrant 2, we need to then label the sides of the reference triangle based on the opposite and hypotenuse.

Solve for adjacent side using Pythagoras theorem.

A^2 = C^2 - B^2
A^2 = 3^2 - 2^2
A^2 = 9 - 4
A^2 =5
A = sq root of 5.

Then write the cos ratio using the new side.

Cos ø =✔️5/3. Place a negative in front of cos ø as cos is negative in second quadrant.
