Yuki bought a dress on sale for $72. The sale price was 60% of the original price. What was the original price of the dress?

1 answer:

7 0

Lets say the original price is Y. 72$ = 60/100 x Y is the equation. If you solve it you would get Y = 120 $. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.

The demand for a daily newspaper at a newsstand at a busy intersection is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 150 an

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

171 newspapers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 150, \sigma = 25$

How many newspapers should the newsstand operator order to ensure that he runs short on no more than 20% of days

The number of newspapers must be on the 100-20 = 80th percentile. So this value if X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$0.84 = \frac{X - 150}{25}$

$X - 150 = 0.84*25$

$X = 171$

So 171 newspapers.

Help! How would I solve this trig identity?

NeTakaya

Using simpler trigonometric identities, the given identity was proven below.

<h3>How to solve the trigonometric identity?</h3>

Remember that:

$sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(x)} \\\\tan(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

Then the identity can be rewritten as:

$sec^4(x) - sen^2(x) = tan^4(x) + tan^2(x)\\\\\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)} = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\$

Now we can multiply both sides by cos⁴(x) to get:

$\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)} = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\\\\\cos^4(x)*(\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}) = cos^4(x)*( \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)})\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^4(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)$
