You can use the fact that both 20% and 15% discounts will be merged to reduce 35% of the price of the book that Jamie buys.

By buying the book on sale and using the coupon, Jamie will save

Option B: $11.55

<h3>
How are discounts calculated for the case when its sale and we've got discount coupons too?</h3>

Suppose the sale gives p% off.

And the discount coupon provides q% off.

Then we have total discount applied on the cost of the object bought as

(p+q)%

<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

\dfrac{a}{100} \times b

<h3>Using the above fact to calculate the amount that Jamie saved </h3>

Since the sale offers 20% discount and Jamie has got 15% discount coupon for any fiction book, thus, total 35% will be discounted if Jamie buys fiction book.

Since the price of the fiction book that Jamie brought is $32.99, thus,

Saved amount = 35% of $32.99 = \dfrac{32.99}{100} \times 35 = 0.3299 \times 35 \approx \$11.55

Thus,

By buying the book on sale and using the coupon, Jamie will save

Option B: $11.55

Prove that sin^4x + cos^4x= sinxcosx
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

(the relation you wrote is not correct, there may be something missing, so I will simplify the initial expression)

Here we have the equation:

sin^4(x) + cos^4(x)

We can rewrite this as:

(sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2

Now we can add and subtract cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) to get:

(sin^2(x))^2 + (cos^2(x))^2 + 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x) - 2*cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)

We can complete squares to get:

(cos^2(x) + sin^2(x))^2 - 2*cos(x)^2*sin(x)^2

and we know that:

cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1

then:

1 - 2*sin(x)^2*cos(x)^2

This is the closest expression to what you wrote.

We also know that:

sin(x)*cos(x) = (1/2)*sin(2*x)

If we replace that, we get:

1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}

Then the simplification is:

cos^4(x) + sin^4(x)  = 1 - \frac{sin^2(2*x)}{2}

When she is outdoors, Tasha the dog, is tied to a stake in the center of a circular area of radius 24 feet. The angle between he
Vlad [161]

Answer: the length of the arc from her dog house to the hydrant is 69 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the length of an arc is expressed as

Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr

Where

θ represents the central angle.

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Radius, r = 24 feet

θ = 165 degrees

Therefore,

Length of the minor arc, DG = 165/360 × 2 × 3.14 × 24

Length of arc = 69 feet rounded up to the nearest feet.
