Answer:

8\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2 + \sqrt{5}\\\\ x^{2} = (2+ \sqrt{5})^{2} \\\\ \ \ \ \ = 2^{2}+2* \sqrt{5}*2+( \sqrt{5})^{2}\\\\

 = 4 + 4 \sqrt{5}+5\\\\= 9+4 \sqrt{5}

\frac{1}{x^{2}}=\frac{1}{9+4\sqrt{5}}\\\\=\frac{1*(9-4\sqrt{5}}{(9+4\sqrt{5})(9-4\sqrt{5})}\\\\=\frac{9-4\sqrt{5}}{9^{2}-(4\sqrt{5})^{2}}\\\\=\frac{9-4\sqrt{5}}{81-4^{2}(\sqrt{5})^{2}}\\\\=\frac{9-4\sqrt{5}}{81-16*5}\\\\=\frac{9-4\sqrt{5}}{81-80}\\\\=\frac{9-4\sqrt{5}}{1}\\\\=9-4\sqrt{5}

x^{2}-\frac{1}{x^{2}}= 9 + 4\sqrt{5} -(9 - 4\sqrt{5})\\\\

            = 9 + 4\sqrt{5} - 9 + 4\sqrt{5}\\\\= 9 - 9 + 4\sqrt{5} + 4\sqrt{5}\\\\= 8\sqrt{5}

Answer:

{ \tt{ {x}^{2}  -  \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} } }} \\  = { \tt{ {(2 +  \sqrt{5} )}^{2} -  \frac{1}{ {(2 +  \sqrt{5}) }^{2} }  }} \\  = { \tt{ \frac{(2 +  \sqrt{5} ) {}^{4}  - 1}{ {(2 +  \sqrt{5} )}^{2}  } }} \\  = { \tt{ \frac{(9 + 4 \sqrt{5}) {}^{2}  }{ {(9 +  4\sqrt{5}) }}}} \\  = { \tt{9 + 4 \sqrt{5} }}

Joe is buying a jacket that originally costs $59.27 but is on sale for 10% off. Sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost of the j
postnew [5]
Hello!

10% off means there's a discount on the jacket, so we will be finding how much the discount is worth and then we'll subtract that from the original cost of the jacket. 
Sales tax is basically additional money added to the cost of an item, so we will find what the sales tax is on this and then add that to the cost.

59.27 * 10% = 5.927

59.27 - 5.927 = 53.343

Now, find and add the sales tax. 

53.343 * 7% = 3.73401

53.343 + 3.73401 = 57.07701

Round this to 57.1

The total cost of the jacket is $57.1.
