Answer: $11.81✔️cost of the sandwich before tax

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = cost before tax

Cell phone costs = C + C·5% = $12.40

C(1 + 0.05) = $12.40

C = $12.40/1.05 = $11.81 , cost before tax

Answer: $11.81✔️ cost of the sandwich before tax

<h3>Checking</h3>

Cell phone after tax = $11.81 + $11.81·5/100

Cell phone after tax = $11.81 + $0.59 = $12.40✔️checked!

Use an Addition or Subtraction Formula to find the exact value of the expression, as demonstrated in Example 1. cos 41π 12.

Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply the formula $\cos(x+y)=\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y)$ .

Note that $\cos(\frac{41}{12}\pi)=\cos((\frac{36}{12}+\frac{7}{12})\pi)=\cos(3\pi + \frac{7}{12})\pi)$ . Take $x=3\pi$ and $y=\frac{7}{12}\pi$ in the formula above to get

$\cos(\frac{41}{12}\pi)=\cos(3\pi)\cos(\frac{7}{12}\pi)-\sin(3\pi)\sin(\frac{7}{12}\pi)=(-1)\cdot \cos(\frac{7}{12}\pi)-0\cdot\sin(\frac{7}{12}\pi)=-\cos(\frac{7}{12}\pi)$

Then the value of this expression is $-\cos(\frac{7}{12}\pi)$

We can use the cosine addition formula again to simplify further. Decompose the fraction in the argument as:

$\cos(\frac{7}{12}\pi)=\cos((\frac{3}{12}+\frac{4}{12})\pi)=\cos((\frac{1}{4}\pi + \frac{1}{3})\pi)$

Applying the formula with $x=\frac{1}{4}\pi$ and $y=\frac{1}{3}\pi$ we obtain

$\cos(\frac{7}{12}\pi)=\cos(\frac{1}{4}\pi)\cos(\frac{1}{3}\pi)-\sin(\frac{1}{4}\pi)\sin(\frac{1}{3}\pi)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2} -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{2}$

We conclude that this expression has the value $-\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{2}$

What is the slope intercept of (2001,17.60) and (2002,18.75)

Sedaia [141]

Do you mean the slope of the line or the y-intercept
(2002-2001)/(18.75-17.60)= 0.869 =slope
y=mx + b -> 2001= 0.869 (17.60) +b -> b= 1985.7= y-intercept

I need to know how to find a rational number halfway in between 7/8 and 3/7

luda_lava [24]

Check the picture below

hmmm so, notice the arrows, if we simply multiply top and bottom of one fraction by the other's denominator, we end up with two fractions, with the same denominator

now, what can be between 49/56 and 24/56

well, 25/56, or 26/56 or 48/56 or 39/56 and so on

once the denominators are the same, is just a matter of which numerator is larger or smaller, to see who is who
