You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Let f(x)=\sec^{-1}x. Then \sec f(x)=x, and differentiating both sides with respect to x gives

(\sec f(x))'=\sec f(x)\tan f(x)\,f'(x)=1
f'(x)=\dfrac1{\sec f(x)\tan f(x)}

Now, when x=\sqrt2, you get

(\sec^{-1})'(\sqrt2)=f'(\sqrt2)=\dfrac1{\sec\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)\tan\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)}

You have \sec^{-1}\sqrt2=\dfrac\pi4, so \sec\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)=\sqrt2 and \tan\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)=1. So (\sec^{-1})'(\sqrt2)=\dfrac1{\sqrt2\times1}=\dfrac1{\sqrt2}

PtichkaEL [24]
The answer is 1/(x+4)
Explanation:
You would factor out the denominator
So,
(X-4)(x+4)=x^2-16
So, x-4/(x+4)(x-4)
Then x-4 cancels each other out from the numerator and denominator
Leaving 1/x+4
