Given:
October: 8 3/8 inches
September : 60% less rain fell than in October.

This means that only 40% rain fell in September based on the amount of rain that fell in October.

8 3/8 ⇒ (8*8)+3/8 = 67/8
40% is 4/10

67/8 * 4/10 = 268/80 = 3 28/80 or 3 7/20 or 3.35

28 ÷ 2 = 14
80 ÷ 2 = 40
14 ÷ 2 = 7
40 ÷ 2 = 20

In September 3 7/20 inches or 3.35 inches of rain fell.

If you would like to know how much rain fell in September, you can calculate this using the following steps:

60% of 8 3/8 in. = 60% * 8 3/8 = 60/100 * 67/8 = 201/40 = 5 1/40 in.

8 3/8 - 5 1/40 = 67/8 - 201/40 = 67/20 = 3 7/20 in.

The correct result would be 3 7/20 in.

Indefinite integral need help pleaseeeeeee

Integrate indefinite integral:
$I=\int\frac{dx}{e^{2x}+3e^x+2}dx$

Solution:
1. use substitution $u=e^x$
=>
$du=e^xdx$
=>
$dx=\frac{du}{e^x}$
=>
$dx=\frac{du}{u}$
=>
$I=\int\frac{du}{u(u^2+3u+2)}du$
$=\int\frac{du}{u(u+2)(u+1)}du$
2. decompose into partial fractions
$\frac{1}{u(u+2)(u+1)}$
$=\frac{A}{u}+\frac{B}{u+2}+\frac{C}{u+1}$
where A=1/2, B=1/2, C=-1
$=\frac{1}{2u}+\frac{1}{2(u+2)}-\frac{1}{u+1}$
3. Substitute partial fractions and continue
$I=\int\frac{du}{2u}+\int\frac{du}{2(u+2)}-\int\frac{du}{u+1}$
$=\frac{log(u)}{2}+\frac{log(u+2)}{2}-log(u+1)}$
4. back-substitute u=e^x
$=\frac{log(e^x)}{2}+\frac{log(e^x+2)}{2}-log(e^x+1)}$
$=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{log(e^x+2)}{2}-log(e^x+1)}$

Note: log(x) stands for natural log, and NOT log10(x)

When adding 3 and -9, how do you know that the sum is negative?

irga5000 [103]

You know the sum is negative because the negative integer is larger than the positive integer.
