Answer:

Given is : Maureen has a net spendable income of $2,100 per month.

Now, she sets up a 15 to 20% budget for transportation.

This means her should budget lie between

$0.15\times1200=180$ to $0.20\times1200=240$ but she assigned $350 for this category.

Now adding up the sub- categories, we get:

$150+120+60+2+5+50 =387$

So, we can clearly see that the sub-categories cost more than the category itself.

Maureen has budgeted her transportation wrongly. Either she should increase the budget or she should cut out few dollars from the sub categories.

She would need $387 dollars to cover her transportation budget. She will need to increase her transportation budget to cover the minimum recommended amount. hope this helps

Solve |2x-5|=4 pleasee

8090 [49]

Answer:

x = 1/2 and x = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation: |2x-5|=4 we need two evaluate two cases:

|2x-5| = 2x-5 when x>5/2 ✅

|2x-5| = -2x+5 when x<5/2✅

Then, if x>5/2:

2x-5 = 4 ➡ x = 9/2

Then, if x>5/2:

-2x+5 = 4 ➡ x = 1/2

Then, the two solutions are: x = 1/2 and x = 9/2

Find the exact value of the expression.<br> tan( sin−1 (2/3)− cos−1(1/7))

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use the following identity to help with the difference inside the tangent function there:

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}$

Let $a=\sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})$ .

With some restriction on $a$ this means:

$\sin(a)=\frac{2}{3}$

We need to find $\tan(a)$ .

$\sin^2(a)+\cos^2(a)=1$ is a Pythagorean Identity I will use to find the cosine value and then I will use that the tangent function is the ratio of sine to cosine.

$(\frac{2}{3})^2+\cos^2(a)=1$

$\frac{4}{9}+\cos^2(a)=1$

Subtract 4/9 on both sides:

$\cos^2(a)=\frac{5}{9}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\cos(a)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}}$

$\cos(a)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

The cosine value is positive because $a$ is a number between $-\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\frac{\pi}{2}$ because that is the restriction on sine inverse.

So we have $\cos(a)=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$ .

This means that $\tan(a)=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}$ .

Multiplying numerator and denominator by 3 gives us:

$\tan(a)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$

Rationalizing the denominator by multiplying top and bottom by square root of 5 gives us:

$\tan(a)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

Let's continue on to letting $b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7})$ .

Let's go ahead and say what the restrictions on $b$ are.

$b$ is a number in between 0 and $\pi$ .

So anyways $b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7})$ implies $\cos(b)=\frac{1}{7}$ .

Let's use the Pythagorean Identity again I mentioned from before to find the sine value of $b$ .

$\cos^2(b)+\sin^2(b)=1$

$(\frac{1}{7})^2+\sin^2(b)=1$

$\frac{1}{49}+\sin^2(b)=1$

Subtract 1/49 on both sides:

$\sin^2(b)=\frac{48}{49}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\sin(b)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{48}{49}$

$\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{48}}{7}$

$\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{16}\sqrt{3}}{7}$

$\sin(b)=\pm \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}$

So since $b$ is a number between $0$ and $\pi$ , then sine of this value is positive.

This implies:

$\sin(b)=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}$

So $\tan(b)=\frac{\sin(b)}{\cos(b)}=\frac{\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}}{\frac{1}{7}}$ .

Multiplying both top and bottom by 7 gives:

$\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{1}= 4\sqrt{3}$ .

Let's put everything back into the first mentioned identity.

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}$

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-4\sqrt{3}}{1+\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}$

Let's clear the mini-fractions by multiply top and bottom by the least common multiple of the denominators of these mini-fractions. That is, we are multiplying top and bottom by 5:

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{2 \sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+2\sqrt{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}$

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}$

Dylan borrowed $2100 from the bank for 15 months. The bank discounted the loan at 2.6%. How much was the interest? $ State your

melomori [17]

Answer:

actual rate of interest is 2.08 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

borrowed = $2100

time = 15 months

rate = 2.6%

to find out

interest and receive from the bank and actual rate of interest

solution

we know bank discounted the loan at 2.6%

so interest will be 2.6% of $2100

that is = 2.6/100 × 2100

interest = $54.60

so receive from the bank is borrowed money - interest

receive = 2100 - 54.60

receive from the bank is $2045.40

and we can say that interest is directly proportional to time

so interest of 12 months / interest of 15 month = 12 month time/ 15 month time

here interest of 12 months = 12/15 × interest of 15 month

interest of 12 months = 12/15 × 54.60

interest of 12 months is $43.68 (annually)

now we can calculate actual rate of interest

that is = interest / borrowed money × 100

actual rate of interest = 43.68/2100 × 100

actual rate of interest is 2.08 %
