Mean = (total of contributors) / (number of contributors)

For the 6 people in the room, you have
   40 = (total of contributors) / 6
   (total of contributors) = 6*40 = 240

A 60-year-old left the room, decreasing the total of contributors by 60.
   (new total of contributors) = (total of contributors) - 60
   (new total of contributors) = 240 - 60 = 180

Then the new mean is
   (new mean) = (new total of contributors) / (new number of contributors)
   (new mean) = 180 / 6 = 36

The mean age of the remaining 5 people is 36.

On her way to visit her parents,jennifer drives 265 miles in 5 hours. What is her average rate of speed in miles per hour?
Nutka1998 [239]
Her total distance (so 265 miles) over the number of hours she drives will give miles per hour. 
265miles/5hours=53 miles/hour

Derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions please explain answers
Jobisdone [24]

I'll explain how to do the first one:-

y = cos-1(x2)

This can be described as ' a function of a function'   x^2 is a function of x and cos-1(x^2) is a function of x^2.

We need to  apply the chain rule.

Personally I find this  easier to understand if i let u = x^2, so

If y = f(u) and u is a function of x then

dy/dx = dy/ du * du/dx

Here u = x^2  and y = cos-1(u)

du/dx = 2x

so dy/dx = d(cos-1(x^2) dx = dy/du * du/dx


= -1 / √(1 - u^2) * 2x

= -2x / √(1 - u^2)    

= -2x / √(1 - (x^2)^2)

= -2x / √(1 - x^4)

I hope this helps. but if not. you might like to employ the formulae in the question - The square boxes contain the 'u' s in my answer. These formulae are equivalent to my explanation.
