Discount =17%=51 $(given)
Let the price be=x
So formula is
Discount%/100 *actual price =discount (in$)
17/100*x=51
X=51*100/17
X=300$
Hence the price of the watch is 300$

<span>To rephrase the question,
17% of what is $51?

Let me give you a short way or formula.
is/of = %/100

is = 51
0f = x
%= 17%

51/x = 17/100
51*100 = x*17
5100= 17x
5100/17= x

so x = 300</span>

Show that √(1-cos A/1+cos A) =cosec A - cot A

Gennadij [26K]

Hi there!

$\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} =$

We can begin by multiplying by its conjugate:

$\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} * \sqrt{\frac{1+cosA}{1+cosA}} = \\\\\sqrt{\frac{(1-cosA)(1 + cosA)}{(1+cosA)(1 + cosA)}} =$

Simplify using the identity:

$1 - cos^2A = sin^2A$

$\sqrt{\frac{(1-cos^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =\\\\\sqrt{\frac{(sin^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =$

Take the square root of the expression:

${\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} =$

Multiply again by the conjugate to get a SINGLE term in the denominator:

${\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} * {\frac{1-cosA}{1-cosA} =\\$

Simplify:

${\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{1-cos^2A} =$

Use the above trig identity one more:

${\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{sin^2A} =$

Cancel out sinA:

${\frac{(1-cosA)}{sinA} =$

Split the fraction into two:

${\frac{1}{sinA} - \frac{cosA}{sinA} =$

Recall:

$1/sinA = cscA\\\\cosA/sinA = cotA$

Simplify:

$\frac{1}{sinA} + \frac{cosA}{sinA} = \boxed{cscA - cotA}$

Write an inequality pls help me on this question!

Answer:

y = -2x + -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -2 because when counting from point to point, its 2 down and one over; 2/1 or 2 (negative because the line is going down)

The intercept in -3 because thats the first place the line touches the y axis.

leonid [27]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that we can factor out 2x from the equation! So our equation becomes 2x(x-2) = 0.

Since the only way for things to multiply to equal to zero is if at least one of the numbers is 0.

So if x-2 is the 0, then x = 2.

If 2x is the 0, then x = 0.

So our answer is C. 0,2
