Answer:

362 kilometre

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the total cost of a journey

let b represent the total distance of a journey

$1.75 is a fixed charge of a journey

the additional charge is $0.10 for b distance ,hence total of additional charge is $.10 multiplied by b i.e 0.1 b

a=1.75+0.1b

a =37.90

37.90=1.75+0.1b

0.1b=37.90-1.75

0.1 b=36.15

b=36.15 /0.10

b=361.5

b=362 kilometre

For the journey that cost 21.80

21.80=1.75+0.1 b

0.1 b=21.80-1.75

0.1 b=20.05

b=20.05 /0.1

b=200.5

b =201 kilometre

Dave bought a new game for $28. The tax rate was 7% How much was the tax and total price (if you can please add work I’m severel

LekaFEV [45]

Okay, let's find out how much the tax was by finding out what 7% of $28 is, we do this by multiplying:

$\sf 28\cdot 7\%$

Convert 7% into a decimal, we do this by dividing it by 100 because percentages are parts of 100:

$\sf 28\cdot 0.07$

Multiply:

$\sf 1.96$

So this is the tax. Add it to the original price to get the total price:

$\sf 28+1.96=\boxed{\sf \$ 29.96}$

Show that xcosec^2x = cotx - d/dx xcotx

Mama L [17]

The given equation, x.cosec²x = cot x - d/dx x.cot x, is proved using the product rule of differentials.

In the question, we are asked to show that x.cosec²x = cot x - d/dx x.cot x.

To prove, we go by the right-hand side of the equation:

cot x - d/dx x.cot x.

We solve the differential d/dx using the product rule, according to which, d/dx uv = u. d/dx(v) + v. d/dx(u), where u and v are functions of x.

cot x - {x. d/dx(cot x) + cot x. d/dx(x)}

= cot x - {x. (-cosec²x) + cot x} {Since, d/dx(cot x) = -cosec²x, and d/dx(x) = 1}

= cot x + x. cosec²x - cot x

= x. cosec²x

= The left-hand side of the equation.

Thus, the given equation, x.cosec²x = cot x - d/dx x.cot x, is proved using the product rule of differentials.
