We will start off working on the right hand side.
<span>cot x - tan x </span>
<span>= [cos x / sin x] - [sin x / cos x] </span>
<span>= [(cos x)^ 2 - (sin x)^2] / [sin x cos x] </span>
<span>This is where it gets a bit tougher if you do not have your formula list with you. </span>
<span>(cos x)^ 2 - (sin x)^2 = cos(2x) </span>
<span>sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x </span>
<span>Note that by arranging the second formula, we will have sin x cos x = (1/2) sin 2x </span>
<span>Hence, we will get: </span>
<span>[(cos x)^ 2 - (sin x)^2] / [sin x cos x] </span>
<span>= [cos 2x] / (1/2)[sin 2x] </span>
<span>= 2[cos 2x] / [sin 2x] </span>
<span>= 2cot 2x </span>
5/2=2 1/2 + 2/5 = 2.9 = 2 9/10
Whenever you face the problem that deals with maxima or minima you should keep in mind that minima/maxima of a function is always a point where it's derivative is equal to zero.
To solve your problem we first need to find an equation of net benefits. Net benefits are expressed as a difference between total benefits and total cost. We can denote this function with B(y).
B(y)=b-c
B(y)=100y-18y²
Now that we have a net benefits function we need find it's derivate with respect to y.

Now we must find at which point this function is equal to zero.
0=100-36y
36y=100
y=2.8
Now that we know at which point our function reaches maxima we just plug that number back into our equation for net benefits and we get our answer.
B(2.8)=100(2.8)-18(2.8)²=138.88≈139.
One thing that always helps is to have your function graphed. It will give you a good insight into how your function behaves and allow you to identify minima/maxima points.
