Answer:

£160

Step-by-step explanation:

£160 times 0.6 equals £96

since £96 is 60% of the original price since 40% was taken off

If x^2+1/x^2=3 find the value of x^2/(x^2+1)^2 Express answer as a common fraction. Thanks!!

timama [110]

$x^2+\dfrac1{x^2}=3\implies x^4+1=3x^2\implies x^4-3x^2+1=0$

By the quadratic formula,

$x^2=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}2\implies x^2+1=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt5}2$

Then

$(x^2+1)^2=\dfrac{25\pm10\sqrt5+5}4=\dfrac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2$

$\implies\dfrac{x^2}{(x^2+1)^2}=\dfrac{\frac{3\pm\sqrt5}2}{\frac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}$

Multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate:

$\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}\cdot\dfrac{15\mp5\sqrt5}{15\mp5\sqrt5}=\dfrac{45\pm15\sqrt5\mp15\sqrt5-25}{15^2-(5\sqrt5)^2}=\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac15$

The function f is continuous on the closed interval [1,15] and has the values shown on the table above. Let g(x) = ∫f(t) dt [1,x

Anna11 [10]

We're looking for the two values being subtracted here. One of these values is easy to find:

g(1) = ∫f(t)dt = 0
since taking the integral over an interval of length 0 is 0.

The other value we find by taking a Left Riemann Sum, which means that we divide the interval [1,15] into the intervals listed above and find the area of rectangles over those regions:

Each integral breaks down like so:

(3-1)*f(1)=4

(6-3)*f(3)=9

(10-6)*f(6)=16

(15-10)*f(10)=10.

So, the sum of all these integrals is 39, which means g(15)=39.

Then, g(15)-g(1)=39-0=39.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

What quantity of a 65% acid solution must be mixed with a 25% solution to produce 600 mL of a 45% solution?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Lets say x is quantity
65%x+25%(600-x)=45%of 600
.65x+.25(600-x)=.45*600
.65x+150-0.25x=270
0.4x=120
x=300ml
