The # of meals decreased by a total of 120 - 52 = 68 meals. Now in order to find the percent decrease, you must find what total percent 68 is out of 120.

68/120 = x/100, this ratio will give you the percent that 68 is out of 120 if you solve for x.

Using inverse operations you get:

6800 = 120x

x = 56.7% when rounded. Meaning that the total percent decrease was about 56.7

I think it's like 56.1

B) Let g(x) =x/2sqrt(36-x^2)+18sin^-1(x/6)<br><br> Find g'(x) =

jolli1 [7]

I suppose you mean

$g(x) = \dfrac x{2\sqrt{36-x^2}} + 18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)$

Differentiate one term at a time.

Rewrite the first term as

$\dfrac x{2\sqrt{36-x^2}} = \dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}$

Then the product rule says

$\left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 x' (36-x^2)^{-1/2} + \dfrac12 x \left((36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)'$

Then with the power and chain rules,

$\left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-1/2} + \dfrac12\left(-\dfrac12\right) x (36-x^2)^{-3/2}(36-x^2)' \\\\ \left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-1/2} - \dfrac14 x (36-x^2)^{-3/2} (-2x) \\\\ \left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-1/2} + \dfrac12 x^2 (36-x^2)^{-3/2}$

Simplify this a bit by factoring out $\frac12 (36-x^2)^{-3/2}$ :

$\left(\dfrac12 x(36-x^2)^{-1/2}\right)' = \dfrac12 (36-x^2)^{-3/2} \left((36-x^2) + x^2\right) = 18 (36-x^2)^{-3/2}$

For the second term, recall that

$\left(\sin^{-1}(x)\right)' = \dfrac1{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$

Then by the chain rule,

$\left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = 18 \left(\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{18\left(\frac x6\right)'}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\frac x6\right)^2}} \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{18\left(\frac16\right)}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{x^2}{36}}} \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{3}{\frac16\sqrt{36 - x^2}} \\\\ \left(18\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac x6\right)\right)' = \dfrac{18}{\sqrt{36 - x^2}} = 18 (36-x^2)^{-1/2}$
