Layla lives in Colorado and works as a teacher earning $55,000 a year. Her brother A.J. lives in Nevada and works as a teacher,

too, earning the same amount. Layla pays 4.63 percent of her yearly income, or $2,546.50, to the state of Colorado in income taxes. Colorado uses these taxes to pay for public services such as school, police, and sanitation. A.J. pays 0 percent of his yearly income to the state of Nevada in income taxes. Yet his town has schools, police, and sanitation services. Why does this happen?

Answer:

<u>Because Nevada is one of the seven states where residents no pay income tax, no matter how much you make. This decision is compensated with a higher-than-average sales tax.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Layla annual earnings = US$ 55,000

A.J. annual earnings = US$ 55,000

Income tax rate paid by Layla = 4.63%

Income tax rate paid by A.J. = 0%

2. Colorado uses these taxes to pay for public services such as school, police, and sanitation. A.J. pays 0 percent of his yearly income to the state of Nevada in income taxes. Yet his town has schools, police, and sanitation services. Why does this happen?

Because Nevada is one of the seven states where residents no pay income tax, no matter how much you make. This decision is compensated with a higher-than-average sales tax.

The function f(x)=(x-5)^2 +2 is not one-to-one. Identify a restricted domain that makes the function one-to-one, and find the in
Anon25 [30]

We have been given a quadratic function f(x)=(x-5)^{2} +2 and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

We know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

Further, we know that range of this function is [2,\infty).

If we restrict the domain of this function to either (-\infty,5] or [5,\infty), it will become one to one function.

Let us know find its inverse.

y=(x-5)^{2}+2

Upon interchanging x and y, we get:

x=(y-5)^{2}+2

Let us now solve this function for y.

(y-5)^{2}=x-2\\&#10;y-5=\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\&#10;y=5\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\

Hence, the inverse function would be f^{-1}(x)=5+\sqrt{x-2} if we restrict the domain of original function to [5,\infty) and the inverse function would be f^{-1}(x)=5-\sqrt{x-2} if we restrict the domain to (-\infty,5].

Prove that if {x1x2.......xk}isany
Radda [10]

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need to proof is this: "Assuming X a vector space over a scalar field C. Let X= {x1,x2,....,xn} a set of vectors in X, where n\geq 2. If the set X is linearly dependent if and only if at least one of the vectors in X can be written as a linear combination of the other vectors"

Proof

Since we have a if and only if w need to proof the statement on the two possible ways.

If X is linearly dependent, then a vector is a linear combination

We suppose the set X= (x_1, x_2,....,x_n) is linearly dependent, so then by definition we have scalars c_1,c_2,....,c_n in C such that:

c_1 x_1 +c_2 x_2 +.....+c_n x_n =0

And not all the scalars c_1,c_2,....,c_n are equal to 0.

Since at least one constant is non zero we can assume for example that c_1 \neq 0, and we have this:

c_1 v_1 = -c_2 v_2 -c_3 v_3 -.... -c_n v_n

We can divide by c1 since we assume that c_1 \neq 0 and we have this:

v_1= -\frac{c_2}{c_1} v_2 -\frac{c_3}{c_1} v_3 - .....- \frac{c_n}{c_1} v_n

And as we can see the vector v_1 can be written a a linear combination of the remaining vectors v_2,v_3,...,v_n. We select v1 but we can select any vector and we get the same result.

If a vector is a linear combination, then X is linearly dependent

We assume on this case that X is a linear combination of the remaining vectors, as on the last part we can assume that we select v_1 and we have this:

v_1 = c_2 v_2 + c_3 v_3 +...+c_n v_n

For scalars defined c_2,c_3,...,c_n in C. So then we have this:

v_1 -c_2 v_2 -c_3 v_3 - ....-c_n v_n =0

So then we can conclude that the set X is linearly dependent.

And that complet the proof for this case.

It appears that the derivatives of sine and cosine are related. What about the second derivatives?.
Andru [333]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{d}{dx} (sin~x)=cos~x\\\frac{d}{dx}(cos~x) =-sin~x\\\frac{d^2}{dx^2} (sin~x)=\frac{d}{dx} (cos~x)=- sin~x\\\frac{d^2}{dx^2} (cos~x)=\frac{d}{dx} (-sin~x)=-cos~x
