1. Let S represent the cost of the sofa and C represent the cost of the chair.

If the sofa costs $50 less than three times the cost of the chair, then effectively we can write this as:

S = 3C - 50

If the sofa and chair together cost $650, we can write this as:

S + C = 650

2. Now, we can find out how much the sofa and chair cost by solving the two equations we obtained above for C, and substituting S = 3C - 50 into S + C = 650. Thus, we get:

S + C = 650

if S = 3C - 50, then:

3C - 50 + C = 650

4C - 50 = 650 (Add C and 3C)

4C = 700 (Add 50 to both sides)

C = 175 (Divide both sides by 4)

Thus, the cost of the chair is $175. Now, to find the cost of the sofa we need to simply substitute C = 175 into our first equation, S = 3C - 50:

S = 3(175) - 50

S = 525 - 50

S = 475

Thus, the sofa costs $475.

3. Now that we know that the sofa costs $475 and the chair costs $175, all we need to do is to subtract the cost of the chair from the cost of the sofa to find the difference in price:

475 - 175 = 300

Therefor, the sofa costs $300 more than the chair (answer C).

Solve the equation for all real values of x.<br> cosxtanx - 2 cos x=-1
IceJOKER [234]

Solution to equationcosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1 for all real values of x is  x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}  , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6} .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1. Let's solve :

⇒  cosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1

⇒  cosx(\frac{sinx}{cosx}) - 2 cos^2 x=-1

⇒  sinx = 2 cos^2 x-1

⇒  sinx = 2 (1-sin^2x)-1

⇒  sinx = 1-2sin^2x

⇒  2sin^2x+sinx-1=0

By quadratic formula :

⇒ sinx = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

⇒ sinx = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}

⇒ sinx = \frac{-1 \pm3}{4}

⇒ sinx = \frac{1}{2} , sinx =-1

⇒ sinx = sin\frac{\pi}{6} , sinx = sin\frac{3\pi}{2}

⇒ x=\frac{\pi}{6} , x=\frac{3\pi}{2}

But at x=\frac{3\pi}{2} we have equation undefined as cos\frac{3\pi}{2}=0 . Hence only solution is :

⇒ x=\frac{\pi}{6}

Since , sin(\pi -x)=sinx

⇒ x=\pi -\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{6}

Now , General Solution is given by :

⇒ x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}  , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6}

Therefore , Solution to equationcosxtanx - 2 cos^2 x=-1 for all real values of x is  x=2k\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}  , x=2k\pi + \frac{5\pi}{6} .
