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

The slope of the the tangent line to a curve at a point. Calc derivative help

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

y = 108x + 216

Step-by-step explanation:

given

y = 4x³ then $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 12x² = $m_{tgt}$

x = 3 ⇒ m = 12(- 3)² = 108

equation of tangent in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept ), hence

y = 108x + b

To find b substitute (- 3, - 108) into the equation

- 108 = -324 + b ⇒ b = - 108 + 324 = 216

y = 108x + 216 ← equation of tangent

Find the exact values of sin2 θ for cos θ = 3/18 on the interval 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$sin(2\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{35} }{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the sine of the double angle:

$sin(2\theta)=2*sin(\theta)*cos(\theta)$

we know that $cos(\theta)=\frac{3}{18}$ , and that $\theta$ is in the interval between 0 and 90 degrees, where both the functions sine and cosine are non-negative numbers. Based on such, we can find using the Pythagorean trigonometric property that relates sine and cosine of the same angle, what $sin(\theta)$ is:

$cos^2(\theta)+sin^2(\theta)=1\\sin^2(\theta)=1-cos^2(\theta)\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{1-cos^2(\theta)} \\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{18} )^2}\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{324} }\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{\frac{324-9}{324} }\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{\frac{315}{324} }\\\\sin(\theta)=\frac{3}{18}\sqrt{35 }$

With this information, we can now complete the value of the sine of the double angle requested:

$sin(2\theta)=2*sin(\theta)*cos(\theta)\\sin(2\theta)=2*\frac{3}{18} \,\sqrt{35} \,\frac{3}{18}\\sin(2\theta)=\frac{2*3*3}{18*18}\,\sqrt{35} \\sin(2\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{35} }{18}$
