Once we sort through the tax terms, that's just

9258.13 - 3650 - 5700 = $ -91.87
A negative numbers mean the deduction and exemption sheltered all of his income, so he has $0 taxable income, choice D.

Answer:

25.1!

Step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is C=2πr=2·π·4≈25.13274

To calculate the circumference of a circle, multiply the diameter of the circle with π (pi). The circumference can also be calculated by multiplying 2×radius with pi (π=3.14).

An average person in the United States throws away 4.5 × 10² g of trash per day. In 2013, there were about 3.2×106 people in the

natka813 [3]

One person throws away 4.5 x 10² g/day.
In 2013, there were 3.2 x 10⁶ people, so they threw away
(4.5 x 10² g/day)*(3.2 x 10⁶) = 1.44 x 10⁹ g/day.

Assume that there were 365 days in 2013.
The total trash thrown away was
(1.44 x 10⁹ g/day)*(365 days) = 5.26 x 10¹¹ g

Answer: 5.3 x 10¹¹ g

Given that sec (x) = 2 and cosec (x) is negative,

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

i) sin(2x) = $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

ii) cot(x+360) = $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

iii) sin(x-180) = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(x) = 2

Since cos(x) is reciprocal of sec(x), this means:

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

cosec(x) is negative , this means sin(x) is also negative. The only quadrant where cos(x), sec(x) are positive and sin(x), cosec(x) are negative is the 4th quadrant. Hence the terminal arm of the angle x is in 4th quadrant.

Part i)

sin(2x) can be simplified as:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

First we need to find the value of sin(x). According to Pythagorean identity:

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

Since, angle is in 4th quadrant, sin(x) will be negative. So considering the negative value of sin(x) and substituting the value of cos(x), we get:

$sin(x)=- \sqrt{1-cos^{2}(x)}\\\\ sin(x)=-\sqrt{1-(\frac{1}{2})^{2}}\\\\ sin(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

So,

$sin(2x)=2 \times -\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\ sin(2x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Part ii)

We have to find cot(x + 360)

An addition of 360 degrees to the angle brings it back to the same terminal point. So the trigonometric ratios of the original angle and new angle after adding 360 or any multiple of 360 stay the same. i.e.

cot(x + 360) = cot(x)

$cot(x) = \frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}\\$

Using the values, we get:

$cot(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }\\\\ cot(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Part iii)

We need to find the value of sin(x - 180)

sin(x - 180) = - sin(x)

Addition or subtraction of 180 degrees changes the angle by 2 quadrants. The sign of sin(x) becomes opposite if the angle jumps by 2 quadrants. For example, sin(x) is positive in 1st quadrant and negative in 3rd quadrant.

So,

sin(x - 180) = $-(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
