Koalas absorb only 25% of the fiber they eat. A koala absorbed 10.5 ounces of fiber in one day. How many ounces of fiber did he

eat that day?

$\huge{\boxed{\text{42 ounces}}}$

25% is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$ , so multiplying it by 4 gets 100%. This means we can multiply 10.5 by 4 to get 100% of the fiber the koala ate that day.

$10.5*4=\boxed{42}$

Answer:

42 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

So a koala absorbs 25% of fiber they eat.

A koala absorbed 10.5 ounces in a day.

Let x be the amount of ounces of fiber the source(s) actually contained that day.

So we have 25% of x is 10.5

As an equation that is .25x=10.5 or 1/4 *x=10.5.

.25x=10.5

To solve this equation you can divide both sides by .25 giving you

x=10.5/.25=42.

If you chose the other equation which is an equivalent equation you would multiply both sides by 4.

1/4 *x=10.5

x=4(10.5)

x=42

Find all solutions of each equation on the interval 0 ≤ x < 2π.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$x = 0$ or $x = \pi$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

How are tangents and secants related to sines and cosines?

$\displaystyle \tan{x} = \frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}}$ .

$\displaystyle \sec{x} = \frac{1}{\cos{x}}$ .

Sticking to either cosine or sine might help simplify the calculation. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $\sin^{2}{x} = 1 - \cos^{2}{x}$ . Therefore, for the square of tangents,

$\displaystyle \tan^{2}{x} = \frac{\sin^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}}$ .

This equation will thus become:

$\displaystyle \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{x}} + \frac{2}{\cos^{2}{x}} - \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = 2$ .

To simplify the calculations, replace all $\cos^{2}{x}$ with another variable. For example, let $u = \cos^{2}{x}$ . Keep in mind that $0 \le \cos^{2}{x} \le 1 \implies 0 \le u \le 1$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1 - u}{u^{2}} + \frac{2}{u} - \frac{1 - u}{u} = 2$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{(1 - u) + u - u \cdot (1- u)}{u^{2}} = 2$ .

Solve this equation for $u$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{u^{2} + 1}{u^{2}} = 2$ .

$u^{2} + 1 = 2 u^{2}$ .

$u^{2} = 1$ .

Given that $0 \le u \le 1$ , $u = 1$ is the only possible solution.

$\cos^{2}{x} = 1$ ,

$x = k \pi$ , where $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ (i.e., $k$ is an integer.)

Given that $0 \le x < 2\pi$ ,

$0 \le k$ .

$k = 0$ or $k = 1$ . Accordingly,

$x = 0$ or $x = \pi$ .
