Paula has $54. She bought some pencils, each costing $0.75, and a paper ream for $2.50. She is left with $42.50 after buying pen

cils and the ream of paper. She uses the equation Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected 'mathsize'. to find the number of pencils she bought. How many pencils did Paula buy?

Answer:

12 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

let no. of pencils bought be x.

54 - 0.75x - 2.50 = 42.50

9 = 0.75x

x = 12

Answer:

$\beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve $\tan \beta \sec \beta=\sqrt{2}$ , where $0\le \beta \le360\degree$ .

We rewrite in terms of sine and cosine.

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos \beta} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \beta} =\sqrt{2}$

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

Use the Pythagorean identity: $\cos^2\beta=1-\sin^2\beta$ .

$\frac{\sin \beta}{1-\sin^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}(1-\sin^2\beta)$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta$

$\implies \sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta+\sin \beta- \sqrt{2}=0$

This is a quadratic equation in $\sin \beta$ .

By the quadratic formula, we have:

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4(\sqrt{2})(-\sqrt{2} ) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2+4(2) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{9} }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm3}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{2}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=\frac{-4}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ or $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$

When $\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ , $\beta=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} )$

$\implies \beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$ on the interval $0\le \beta \le360\degree$ .

When $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$ , $\beta$ is not defined because $-1\le \sin \beta \le1$

An amount of 41,000 is borrowed for 15 years at 8.5% interest, compounded annually. If the loan is paid in full at the end of th

bazaltina [42]

Answer: $139390 must be paid back.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = amount to be played back at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount borrowed.

From the information given,

P = 41000

r = 8.5% = 8.5/100 = 0.085

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 15 years

Therefore,

A = 41000(1 + 0.085/1)^1 × 15

A = 41000(1 + 0.085)^15

A = 41000(1.085)^15

A = $139390
