The tax is 8.5%.
To find the tax on an item, multiply 8.5% by the price of the item.

t-shirt:
8.5% of $12.99 = 8.5% * $12.99 = 0.085 * $12.99 = $1.10
The tax on the t-shirt is $1.10

pair of jeans:
8.5% of $39.99 = 8.5% * $39.99 = 0.085 * $39.99 = $3.40
The tax on the jeans is $3.40

The difference in the amount of tax is

$3.40 - $1.10 = $2.30

Answer: $2.30

A jar of peanut butter and a jar of jam cost $10.20 in total. the jar of peanut butter costs $10.00 more than the jar of jam. ho
Olegator [25]
Well this is pretty simple. So the first thought is that the peanut butter would be 10$ and the jam would be 0.20$, however, the peanut butter would not be 10$ more. Instead, subtract the 10$ from the total, which gives you 0.20$, and then divide that by two. Now you have 0.10$ for each, along with another 10$ for the peanut butter. The peanut butter would be $10.10, and the jam would be 0.10$ (that's pretty cheap!).

El valor numérico de la expresión 〖P(y)=y〗^2-7y+10 para y=2 es: a. P(2)=9 b. P(2)=0 c. P(2)=-2 d. P(2)=-5
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Opción b, P(2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Tenemos la expresión:

P(y) = y^2 - 7*y + 10

Para encontrar el valor P(2), simplemente debemos remplazar todas las "y" en la expresión de arriba por el valor 2, asi obtenemos:

P(2) = 2^2 - 7*2 + 10 = 4 - 14 + 10 = (4 - 14) + 10 = -10 + 10 = 0

P(2) = 0

La opción correcta es b.

Let f(x) be a polynomial such that f(cos θ) = cos(4) θ for all θ. Find f(x). (This is essentially the same as finding cos(4) θ i
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

f(x) = 8x⁴-8x²+1

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that f(cos θ) = cos(4θ). Otherwise, f would not be a polynomial. lets divide cos(4θ) in an expression depending on cos(θ). We use this properties

  • cos(2a) = cos²(a) - sin²(b)
  • sin(2a) = 2sin(a)cos(a)
  • sin²(a) = 1-cos²(a)

cos(4θ) = cos(2 * (2θ) ) = cos²(2θ) - sin²(2θ) = [ cos²(θ)-sin²(θ) ]² - [2cos(θ)sin(θ)]² = [cos²(θ) - ( 1 - cos²(θ) ) ]² - 4cos²(θ)sin²(θ) = [2cos²(θ)-1]² - 4cos²(θ) (1 - cos²(θ) ) = 4 cos⁴(θ) - 4 cos²(θ) + 1 - 4 cos²(θ) + 4 cos⁴(θ) = 8cos⁴(θ) - 8 cos²(θ) + 1

Thus f(cos(θ)) = 8 cos⁴(θ) - 8 cos²(θ) + 1, and, as a result

f(x) = 8x⁴-8x²+1.
