1000/7 = <span>142.857142857

Because this is not an even number we take "142", then times it by 7 teachers.

142*7= 994

1000 - 994 = 6 Pencils left</span>

2 sin^2 (x) -5 sin (x) -3=0
andreyandreev [35.5K]

we have that

2sin^{2} x-5sin x-3=0

I. Rewrite the equation by substituting the expression u in for sin x.

2u^{2} -5u-3=0

II. Factor the quadratic expression. Rewrite the equation with factors instead of the original polynomial.

2u^{2} -5u-3=0 is equal to

using a graph calculator-----> see the attached figure

(u-3)*(2u+1)=0

III. Use the zero product property to solve the quadratic equation.

(u-3)*(2u+1)=0

(u-3)=0--------------> u=3

(2u+1)=0-------- 2u=-1------> u=-1/2-----> u=-0.5

IV. Rewrite your solutions to Part III by replacing u with sin x.

sin x=3--------> is not the solution (sin x can not be greater than 1)

sin x=-0.50------>is the solution

V. Solve the remaining equations for x, giving all solutions to the equation.

sin x=-0.50

if the sine is negative

then

x belong to the III or IV quadrant

we know that

sin 30°=0.50

so

the solution for the III quadrant is

x=180°+30°-------> x=210°

the solution for the IV quadrant is

x=360°-30°------> x=330°

For sisters bought a present for their father. They recieved a 10% discount on the original price of the gift . after the discou
Basile [38]
Since they each paid the same amount, we can figure out that 9*4=36 dollars is the price of the gift. Next, since there was a 10% discount (or 0.1 by moving the decimal 2 spots to the left), we can say that the original gift price is x and 
x-0.1*x=0.9*x due to that we subtract the 10% discount (and it's 10% of the original price). In addition, the sisters paid 0.9*x, which is 36. Dividing both sides by 0.9, we get x=40
