Answer:

$260

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual price + 8% of actual price=$280.80

Let x= actual price

8% of actual price=8/100 of x

=0.08x

x + 0.08x=$280.80

1.08x=$280.80

x=$280.80/1.08

x=$260

Price of the jacket before sales tax=$260

Check:

8% sales tax of $260

=8% of $260

=8/100×$260

=0.08×$260

=$20.8

Purchasing price= actual price+ sales tax

=$260+$20.8

=$280.80

4sinθ – 1 = - 3 for 0<θ< 360

EastWind [94]

Answer:

$\theta = 210^\circ$ or $\theta = 330^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 \sin \theta - 1 = -3$

$4 \sin \theta = -2$

$\sin \theta = \dfrac{-2}{4}$

$\sin \theta = -0.5$

For sin θ = 0.5, the reference angle is θ = 30 deg.

$\sin 30^\circ = 0.5$

$\theta = 210^\circ$ or $\theta = 330^\circ$
