Answer: 25 grapefruits

Step-by-step explanation:

They buy grapefruit at a price of 5 per dollar. This means that the price per grapefruit is:

= 1 / 5

= $0.20 per grapefruit.

They then sell at a price of 5 per $3. The selling price per grapefruit is:

= 3 / 5

= $0.60

The profit per grapefruit is:

= 0.60 - 0.20

= $0.40

In order to make a profit of $10, they should sell:

= 10 / 0.4

= 25 grapefruits

A rectangular athletic field is three times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the athletic field is 128 yards, what are

larisa [96]

Length=3x
Width=x
3x+x+3x+x=128
8x=128
Divide both sides by 8
x=16
3(x)
3(16)=58
Width= 16 yards
Length= 58 yards

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert all the secants and cosecants to cosine and sine, respectively. Recall that $csc(x)=1/sin(x)$ and $sec(x)=1/cos(x)$ .

Thus:

$\frac{sec(x)}{cos(x)} -\frac{sin(x)}{csc(x)cos^2(x)}$

$=\frac{\frac{1}{cos(x)} }{cos(x)} -\frac{sin(x)}{\frac{1}{sin(x)}cos^2(x) }$

Let's do the first part first: (Recall how to divide fractions)

$\frac{\frac{1}{cos(x)} }{cos(x)}=\frac{1}{cos(x)} \cdot \frac{1}{cos(x)}=\frac{1}{cos^2(x)}$

For the second term:

$\frac{sin(x)}{\frac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)} } =\frac{sin(x)}{1} \cdot\frac{sin(x)}{cos^2(x)}=\frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}$

So, all together: (same denominator; combine terms)

$\frac{1}{cos^2(x)}-\frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}=\frac{1-sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}$

Note the numerator; it can be derived from the Pythagorean Identity:

$sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1; cos^2(x)=1-sin^2(x)$

Thus, we can substitute the numerator:

$\frac{1-sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}=\frac{cos^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}=1$

Everything simplifies to 1.
