Price before decrease = x

If price before decrease is 100, then price after decrease = 100- 12 = 88

100:88 = x:600

100/88=x/600

100/88 ×600 = x

681.82 =x

Price before decrease =681.82

Cos(−θ)=√3/3, sinθ<0

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

$\sin\theta=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trigonometric equation is $\cos(-\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ .

We can either use the Pythagorean identity or the right angle triangle to solve for $\sin\theta$ .

According to the Pythagorean identity,

$\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1$

Recall that, the cosine function is an even function, therefore

$\cos(-\theta)=\cos(\theta)$

$\Rightarrow \cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ .

We substitute this value in to the above Pythagorean identity to get;

$(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3})^2+\sin^2\theta=1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{9}+\sin^2\theta=1$

$\Rightarrow \sin^2\theta=1-\frac{3}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \sin^2\theta=\frac{6}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\pm \sqrt{\frac{6}{9}}$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$

But we were given that,

$\sin\theta\:$ , so we choose the negative value.

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$

The correct answer is B

How to solve: 3x + 5 = x + 14

jasenka [17]

Combine like terms:
subtract x from both sides to get
2x+5=14
subtract 5
2x=9
isolate x:
divide 2 from both sides to isolate x
x=9/2
that's your final answer. unless your teacher wants you to put it in decimal form in which all you do is divide 9÷2.

What are the 2 next terms: 1/3,2/3,1,4/3

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer: 5/3, 2

It’s going up by 1/3 so just add 1/3 to 4/3 for the next term.

1/3 + 4/3 = 5/3

Now add 1/3 to 5/3 for the best term

5/3 + 1/3 = 6/3 = 2
