Answer:
x= 1/2
Step by Step explanation:
1- Substitute f (x) = 0
2- Determine the defined range
3- Swap the sides
4- Use the inverse trigonometric function
5- Evaluate the expression
6- Move the constant to the right
7- Divide both sides
8- Check the solution
In the question, it is already given that the total number of runners in the race is 60 and out of them 1/3 dropped out in the first half. In the second half 1/4 of the remaining runners dropped out.
Now
Total number of runners in the race = 60
Number of runners that dropped out in the first half = 1/3 * 60
= 20
Number of runners remaining = 60 - 20
= 40
Number of runners dropping out in the second half = 40 * 1/4
= 10
Then the number of runners that finished the race = 40 - 10
= 30
Then 30 runners completed the race.
