The answer to this would be x-(x+14)

Here's an explanation:

Let x represent the unknown number. The problem says that x has been decreased by the sum of x and 14. So, to put this in a form of an equation, it would be x-(x+14), since you have to do the addition first before you can subtract the two number since you don't know what x is. This equation is equal to -14 no matter what x is.

Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π). tan x + sec x = 1

svp [43]

Use the identity
sec^2x = 1 + tan^2 x
- so sec x = sqrt(1 + tan^2 x) then:-
tan x + sqrt( 1 + tan^2 x) = 1
sqrt ( 1 + tan^2 x) = 1 - tan x
1 + tan^2 x = 1 + tan^2x - 2 tan x
0 = -2 tanx

tan x = 0

x = 0, π
π is an extraneous root because sec 180 = -1
So the answer is 0 degrees

A total of 150 new recruits join an army training course. After one month, 30 have dropped out. what is the percentage decrease

Pachacha [2.7K]

So what will it be a percentage of? it will be the percentage of the original recruits, of the original 150.

for this, we need to divide the number of recruits that left over all recruits, and multiply by 100%: $\frac{30}{150} *100%= \frac{1}{5} *100%=20%$

so the number of trainees decreased by 20 %
