Answer:

4-5x = 2x+25

-5x+4 = 2x+25

-7x = 21

x = -3

4 - 5(-3)

4 + 15

AC = 2 x 19

AC = 38

➲ ( 1 + sec x )( cosec x - cot x ) = tan x

Solving for L.H.S

$\implies\quad \sf{(1+sec\:x)(cosec\:x-cot\:x) }$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(1+\dfrac{1}{cos\:x}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{sin\:x}-\dfrac{cos\:x}{sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(\dfrac{1+cos\:x}{cos\:x}\right)\left(\dfrac{1-cos\:x}{sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(\dfrac{1-cos^2 x}{cos\:x.sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left( \dfrac{sin^2 x}{cos\:x.sin\:x}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left( \dfrac{sin\:x.\cancel{sin\:x}}{cos\:x.\cancel{sin\:x}}\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{\left( \dfrac{sin\:x}{cos\:x}\right) }$

$\implies\quad\underline{\underline{\pmb{ \sf{tan\:x}}} }$

➲ ( 1+ sec x )( 1- cos x ) = sin x. tan x

Solving for L.H.S

$\implies\quad \sf{ ( 1+ sec\:x)(1-cos\:x)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{\left(1+\dfrac{1}{cos\:x} \right) \left( 1-cos\:x\right)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{ \left(\dfrac{cos\:x+1}{cos\:x} \right)(1-cos \:x)}$

$\implies\quad \sf{\dfrac{1-cos^2 x}{cos\:x} }$

$\implies\quad \sf{\dfrac{sin^2x}{cos\:x} }$

$\implies\quad \sf{sin\:x.\left( \dfrac{sin\:}{cos\:x}\right) }$

$\implies\quad\underline{\underline{\pmb{ \sf{sin\:x.tan\:x}}} }$

Samantha deposit 300 in an account that earns an annual interest rate of 2.5 after nine months she computes the simple interest.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

She is doing a mistake of calculating interest after 9 months in place of after 12 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha deposit $300 in an account that earns an annual interest rate of 2.5%.

Now, Samantha after nine months of deposit computes the simple interest.

She is doing a mistake of calculating interest after 9 months in place of after 12 months.

The calculation of interest should be on a yearly basis (i.e. 12 months) as the interest rate is 2.5% per year. (Answer)
