20.90 would be the item before tax. To get the amount of tax, I multiplied 20 by 0.05 and subtracted that amount from 22

So $22 is after the 5% tax. Just enter 22 / 1.05 (which is 20.95) roundest to the nearest hundredth. Round it however you are supposed to for this question, but given that the final price is $22 (with 5% tax), you just need to divide it by 1.05 (non-tax price + 5% of it). Hope this helps!

If you round to the nearest hundredth, the answer is $20.95.

X - (-20) = 5 _________________

X - (-20) = 5

When you subtract a negative, change it to addition:

X + 20 = 5

Subtract 20 from both sides:

X = -15

Find the exact value of the given expression.<br> sin(2cos^-1(5/13))

xeze [42]

Answer:

+120/169 or -120/169

Step-by-step explanation:

let $cos^{-1}[\frac{5}{13} ] = \alpha$

where, alpha is some angle that satisfies the assumed condition.

so, $cos\alpha= 5/13$

[ taking cos to the other side or applying cos on both sides]

now, substitute this in the given expression

$sin(2cos^-1(5/13)) = sin(2\alpha )$

as sin $\beta$ = $+ or -\sqrt{1-(cos\beta) ^{2}$

[by general trigonometry formula: $cos^{2}[\beta] +sin^{2}[\beta]=1$ ]

so if $cos\alpha= 5/13$ , we can get sin $\alpha$ from the above formula as + or - 12/13

(because, after taking square root on both sides we keep + or -]

as, sin $2\beta = 2*sin[\beta ]*cos[\beta ]$

[by general trigonometry formula]

here, now $sin[2\alpha ]=2*(+or- 12/13)*5/13\\$

so, the final value can be 120/169 or -120/169.
