Answer:

240 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Google said that three out of four people wear corrective lenses which is also 75%. So whats 75% out of 320 million? Half of 320 million is 160 million. Half of 160 million is 80 million, 160 million plus 80 million is 240 million.

A company sells its printers to customers in order to make a profit of 25% calculate the price the company paid for a printer wh

ioda

The company paid $2000 for the printer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the printer for which the company bought it.

If x is the price of printer, then 25% of x will be the profit made by the company.

That is:

0.25x

According to the statement,

The cost and profit earned by company are equal to 2500

So,

$x+0.25x = 2500\\1.25x = 2500$

Dividing both sides by 1.25

$\frac{1.25x}{1.25} = \frac{2500}{1.25}\\x = 2000$

Hence,

The company paid $2000 for the printer

How do you this question (pre-cal)

Novay_Z [31]

The goal to proving identities is to transform one side into the other. We can only pick one side to transform while the other side stays the same the entire time. The general rule of thumb is to transform the more complicated side (though there may be exceptions to this guideline).

So I'll take the left hand side and try to turn it into $\csc^2( B )$

One way we can do that is through the following steps:

$\frac{\tan(B) + \cot(B)}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{\tan(B)}{\tan(B)} + \frac{\cot(B)}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot(B)*\frac{1}{\tan(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot(B)*\cot(B) = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \cot^2(B) = \csc^2(B)\\\\1 + \frac{cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{sin^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)}+\frac{cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{sin^2(B)+cos^2(B)}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\frac{1}{\sin^2(B)} = \csc^2(B)\\\\\csc^2(B)=\csc^2(B) \ \ {\Large \checkmark}\\\\$

Since we've shown that the left hand side transforms into the right hand side, this verifies the equation is an identity.

Which statement about the following equation is true?

spayn [35]

The given expression is

$3x^2 -8x +5 = 5x^2$

We have to find the discriminant first . And for that, first we need to move whole terms of the left side to right side, that is

$5x^2 -3x^2 +8x -5=0$

$2x^2+ 8x -5 =0$

The formula of discriminant is

$D =b^2 -4ac$

Substituting the values of a,b and c, we will get

$D = 8^2 -4(2)(-5)=64+40 = 104$

And since the discriminant is greater than 0, or it is positive so we have two real roots.

Therefore the correct option is B .

Prove this trigonometric equation; - tan^2x + sec^2x = 1,

alekssr [168]

Hey there :)

- tan²x + sec²x = 1 or 1 + tan²x = sec²x

sin²x + cos²x = 1
Divide the whole by cos²x

$\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} + \frac{cos^2x}{cos^2x} = \frac{1}{cos^2x}$

$\frac{sinx}{cosx} = tanx$ so $\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x} = tan^2x$
and
$\frac{1}{cosx} = secx$ so $\frac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x$

Therefore,
tan²x + 1 = sec²x
Take tan²x to the other side {You will have the same answer}

1 = - tan²x = sec²x or sec²x - tanx = 1
