Answer:

The rate of sales tax in her state is 7.41%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to determine the cost of the items:

(35*2)+40+18=70+40+18=$128

Now, you can find the difference between the total Cynthia owes at the register and the cost of the items:

$138.24-$128=$10.24

Finally, you can use a rule of three to determine the rate of sales tax given that 138.24 represents 100%:

138.24 → 100%

10.24  →   x

x=(10.24*100)/138.24= 7.41%

According to this, the answer is that the rate of sales tax in her state is 7.41%.

which of the following answer choices describes all the transformation found in the cubic function f(x)=-(x+2)3-5
Alona [7]
The cubic function is f(x) = x^3

You need to perform three transformations to the cubic function to obtain
f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5.

Those transfformations are:

1) Shift f(x) = x^3,  2 units leftward to obtain f(x) = (x + 2)^3

2) reflect f(x) = (x + 2)^3 across the x-axis to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3

3) shift f(x) = - ( x + 2) ^3, 5 units downward to obtain f(x) = - (x + 2)^3 - 5

If tan theta= 15/8, then:
Maurinko [17]
Hello there!

The only thing we have to do here is remember our trigonometric functions!

sin=y/r
cos=x/r
tan=y/x
sec=r/x
csc=r/y
cot=x/y

Knowing that tanᎾ=15/8, we know that y=15 and x=8


Now we need to look at the answer choices and see if they are correct.

A. secᎾ=17/8
Since secᎾ=r/x and r=17 and x=8, this is correct.

B. cosᎾ=15/17
Since cosᎾ=x/r and x=8 and r=17, this is wrong.

C. cotᎾ=8/15
Since cotᎾ=x/y and x=8 and y=15, this is also correct!

D. cscᎾ=17/15
Since cscᎾ=r/y and r=17 and y=15, this is right too.

I really hope this helps!
Best wishes :)
