$\star \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Consider a $\triangle$ ABC right angled at C and $\sf \angle \: B = \theta$

Then,

‣ Base [B] = BC

‣ Perpendicular [P] = AC

‣ Hypotenuse [H] = AB

$\therefore \tt \cot \theta = \dfrac{Base}{ Perpendicular} = \dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{7}{8}$

Let,

Base = 7k and Perpendicular = 8k, where k is any positive integer

In $\triangle$ ABC, H² = B² + P² by Pythagoras theorem

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {BC}^{2} + {AC}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {(7k)}^{2} + {(8k)}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 49{k}^{2} + 64{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 113{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \sqrt{113 {k}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \red{ \sqrt{113} \: k}$

Calculating Sin $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{AC}{AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{8 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{ k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

Calculating Cos $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{BC}{ AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{7 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

Solving the given expression :- 

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

Putting,

• Sin $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} }$

• Cos $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \bigg(1 + \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) }{\bigg(1 + \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg)}$

Using (a + b ) (a - b ) = a² - b²

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{64}{113} }{ 1 - \dfrac{49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \dfrac{113 - 64}{113} }{ \dfrac{113 - 49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac { \dfrac{49}{113} }{ \dfrac{64}{113} } }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac{49}{113} }÷{ \dfrac{64}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{ \cancel{113}} \times \dfrac{ \cancel{113}}{64}$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{64}$

$\qquad \: \therefore \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) } = \pink{\dfrac{49}{64} }$

Mario has a business selling muffins. Let x be the price of a muffin. Then, the profit P for Mario’s business is given by p(x)=-

Rufina [12.5K]

To make a positive profit p(x)>0 we need to make:
$-100 x^{2} +350x-150 \ \textgreater \ 0$

Now we solve this for x:
$-2 x^{2} +7x-3 \ \textgreater \ 0$

We have:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3

We will use formula for quadratic equation:
$x_{1} = \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-b- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_{1} = \frac{-7+ \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4} = \frac{-7+5 }{-4} = \frac{-2 }{-4} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-7- \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4} = \frac{-7-5 }{-4} = \frac{-12 }{-4} = 3$

We got two solutions. One is fraction other is whole number. We will not consider fraction because the amount of muffins sold must be whole number. So our solution is:
x>3

Identify is this is percent increase or percent decrease, then calculate percentage

vlabodo [156]

Last year the chess club had 30 members. This year the club has 24 members.

Last year, the chess club had 30 members. This year, the club has 24 members. Since this year had less than last year ( 30 > 24), the percent will be decreasing.

To find the percent decrease, you have to use the following formula.

$\frac{Difference}{Original} \times 100$

Difference refers to the difference between the two numbers, 24 and 30. The difference between 24 and 30 is 6. Original refers to the original number, which is last year's amount of members in the chess group. Therefore, original = 30.

Substitute the numbers into the formula.

$\frac{Difference}{Original} =\frac{6}{30} =0.2$

To convert the decimal to a fraction, multiply the decimal by 100.

$0.2 \times 100 = 20 \%$

The answer is the number of chess members decreased by 20%.

____

Since I started off by identifying whether it was decreasing or increasing, I did the work a bit differently. When finding the difference, you would usually subtract 30 from 24, which results in -6. Above I used 6, but if you used -6, you would end up with a result of -20%, which means it decreased by 20%. They bot end up with the same result, but you don't always have to first identify whether it's decreasing or increasing.
