There are x number of students at helms. If the number of students increases by 7.8% each year, how many students will be there
1 answer:
There will be 1.078x students next year and equation is number of students in next year = x + 7.8% of x
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given, There are "x" number of students at helms.
The number of students increases by 7.8% each year which means if there "x" number of students in present year, then the number of students in next year will be x + 7.8% of x
Number of students in next year = number of students in present year + increased number of students.
Thus there will be 1.078x students in next year

This is the rule of sums of trig identities. It says that sin(a + b) = sina*cosb+sinb*cosa. Set up your right triangles. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the side across from the 60 angle is the square root of 3, the side across from the 30 is 1, and the hypotenuse is 2. In a 45-45-90 the sides across from the 45 degree angles are 1 and the hypotenuse is square root of 2. With that being said, the sin of 60 is 
and the cos of 60 is 1/2. Both the sin and cos of 45 is 
. So your formula is filled in like this: 
. When you do the multiplication on those sets of parenthesis, you get 
. When you add those your solution is 
. Depending upon your instructor you may have to rationalize that denominator to get that radical out from under there, but if not, that's pretty much it!
