To find the original cost, divide the price he sold it for by the percentage:

5000 / 0.60 = 8,333.33

He bought the car for $8,333.33

To find the cost you have to divide by 100%

Prove that (2n+1)^2 - (2n+1)^2 is a multiple of 8 for all positive integer values of n

kogti [31]

Answer:

(2n + 1)[(2n + 1) � 1]

(2n + 1)(2n + 1 � 1)

(2n + 1)(2n), or 2n(2n + 1)

2n is an EVEN NUMBER, and adding 1 to an even number creates an ODD number

Therefore, 2n(2n+1)=EVEN NUMBER ODD NUMBER=EVEN NUMBER

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y}{a}= tan~60=\sqrt{3} \\y=a\sqrt{3} ~~~(1)\\\frac{y}{b} =tan~30\\y=\frac{b}{\sqrt{3} } ~~~(2)\\from~(1)~and~(2)\\a\sqrt{3} =\frac{b}{\sqrt{3} } \\b=a\sqrt{3} \times\sqrt{3} =3a\\a+b=15\\a+3a=15\\4a=15\\a=\frac{15}{4} \\b=3a=3 \times \frac{15}{4} =\frac{45}{4}\\y=a\sqrt{3} =\frac{15\sqrt{3}}{4} \\\frac{x}{15} =sin~30\\x=15 \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}\\\frac{z}{15}=cos~30\\z=15 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{15\sqrt{3} }{2} \\$

Answer:

x ≈ 1051.368672

Step-by-step explanation for #3:

$tan(\frac{x}{12}) =24$ Use tangent function because it relates to the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle.

$tan^{-1}(tan(\frac{x}{12}))=tan^{-1}(24)$

$\frac{x}{12} = tan^{-1}(24)$

$x = 12[tan^{-1}(24)]$

x ≈ 1051.368672
