Answer:

Option B. $87.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question selling price of 50 shares $12 per share and cost price is $12 per share.

Now we have to calculate the loss incurred in selling these shares.

Per share loss = (costing price - selling price)

                 loss = 13\frac{3}{4} - 12 = \frac{55}{4} - 12 = 13.75 - 12 = $1.75

Therefore total loss incurred in selling 50 shares = $1.75 × 50

                                                                                  = $87.50

Therefore Option B. $87.50 is the correct answer.

Answer:

The loss would be 1062.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first convert the purchase price into a decimal.

133/4 = 33.25

Now multiply that my the number of shares bought.

33.25 * 50 = 1662.50

This is the amount that was spent. Now to find the sale price, multiply the number of shares by the new price.

50 * 12 = 600

And to find the total loss, subtract the amount of the purchase price from the sale price.

600 - 1662.50 = -1062.50

5tanx-2cotx+1=0...... .
Verdich [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

5(tanx)^2 -2 +tanx=0

let tanx=y

5y^2 + y-2=0

y=0.5403 or y= -0.7403

tanx=0.5403

x=arctan(0.5403)

x=28.38°

or

tanx=-0.7403

x=arctan(-0.7403)

x=143.49°
