the sales tax for an item was $30.10 and it cost $430 before tax. find the sale tax rate. write your answer as a percentage.

1 answer:

4 0

To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10 The sale tax rate is 7%.

$y = e^x\\\\\displaystyle y = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^k}{k!}\\\\\displaystyle y= 1+x+\frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!}+\ldots\\\\\displaystyle y' = \frac{d}{dx}\left( 1+x+\frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!}+\frac{x^4}{4!}+\ldots\right)\\\\$

$\displaystyle y' = \frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^2}{2!}\right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^3}{3!}\right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^4}{4!}\right)+\ldots\\\\\displaystyle y' = 0+1+\frac{2x^1}{2*1} + \frac{3x^2}{3*2!} + \frac{4x^3}{4*3!}+\ldots\\\\\displaystyle y' = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!}+ \frac{x^3}{3!}+\ldots\\\\\displaystyle y' = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^k}{k!}\\\\\displaystyle y' = e^{x}\\\\$

This shows that $y' = y$ is true when $y = e^x$

-----------------------

Note 1: A more general solution is $y = Ce^x$ for some constant C.
Note 2: It might be tempting to say the general solution is $y = e^x+C$ , but that is not the case because $y = e^x+C \to y' = e^x+0 = e^x$ and we can see that $y' = y$ would only be true for C = 0, so that is why $y = e^x+C$ does not work.
