Alternatively, recall that if

, then

, and so

Take

, so that

, and we have the original limit. So the limit is equivalent to the value of

, i.e.
Find 5 percent of 10.94, which is .55.
Since it is sales tax add .55 to 10.94
You get 11.49! Hope this helps

To solve this, I'm assuming that the equations both represent angles:
There is a theorem that states that an exterior angle of a triangle is equivalent to the sum of two remote triangles. Knowing this:
11x + 7 = 7x + 14 + 25
11x + 7 = 7x + 39
4x = 32
x = 8
Cos²(15°) - sin²(15°) = cos(15° * 2) = √(3/2 so this is the answer by using apropriate formula double angle identity
