Answer:

Mr. Nelson paid $48 befor tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the item before tax.

108 % * x - x = 3.84 (the tax itself)

27/25x - x = 3.84

2/25 x = 3.84

x = 48

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

$\text{cot}A=\frac{1}{2}(\text{cot}\frac{A}{2}-\text{tan}\frac{A}{2})$

To prove this identity we will take the right side of the identity,

$\frac{1}{2}(\text{cot}\frac{A}{2}-\text{tan}\frac{A}{2})=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{\text{tan}\frac{A}{2}}-tan\frac{A}{2})$

$=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1-\text{tan}^2\frac{A}{2}}{tan\frac{A}{2}})$

$=\frac{1}{2}[\frac{2(1-\text{tan}^2\frac{A}{2})}{2tan\frac{A}{2}}]$

$=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{\text{tan}A} )$ [Since $\text{tan}A=\frac{2\text{tan}\frac{A}{2}}{1-\text{tan}^2\frac{A}{2}}$ ]

= cot A

Hence right side of the equation is equal to the left side of the equation.

Can you help me solve this radical equation √y-10 = y-2 the sqrt sign is only over the y-10

matrenka [14]

$D:y-10\geq0 \wedge y-2\geq0\\
D:y\geq10 \wedge y\geq2\\
D:y\geq10\\\\
\sqrt{y-10}=y-2\\
y-10=(y-2)^2\\
y-10=y^2-4y+4\\
y^2-5y+14=0\\
\Delta=(-5)^2-4\cdot1\cdot14=25-56=-31\\
\Delta$

Andrea is selling candles as a fundraiser. she spent $50 on supplies for making the candles. she plans to sell the candles for $

Luda [366]

In order for Andrea to make profit, the value of the C in the given function must not be 0 or less than zero. So, let's find the value of x when C is zero.

C = 0 = 10x - 50
x = 5

Hence, the number of candles sold represented by x must be more than 5 (< 5). Therefore, the domain is (5,+∞). When the value of x is more than 5, the C or the range would be greater than 0. Thus, the range is (0,+∞).
