Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
Answer:
C. cot theta
Step-by-step explanation:
(csc theta -cot theta )/(sec theta -1)
csc = 1/ sin
cot = cos / sin
sec = 1 / cos
Let x = theta
(1/ sin x -cos x / sin x )/(1/ cos x -1)
Getting a common denominator in the denominator and combining terms
(1- cos x)/ sinx / ( 1 - cos x) / cos x
(1- cosx) (1- cosx)
----------- ÷ ------------
sinx cos x
Copy dot flip
(1- cosx) cosx
----------- * ------------
sinx 1 -cos x
Cancel like terms
cos x / sin x
cos / sin = cot
cot x
cot theta
What we need to do is find the difference between the two numbers to find the difference in price and then figure out what the percent of 23.5 that is
23.50-18.80=4.7
now we'll set up a proportion
4.7 x
----- = -----
23.5 100
then cross multiply and divide
100×4.7=470/23.5=20
the percent of decrease is 20%
I hope I've helped!
