Express p in terms of q if

Irina-Kira [14]

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$

Li keeps track of the time he spends working out each week. The table shows the number of cardio workouts and the number of weig

Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

1)X represents the time he spent in cardio.

Y represents the time he spent in weighted.

2)If you could put the options on the second one it would be better.

3)4x+y=210

3x+2y=195

y=210-4x

3x+2(210-4x)=195

3x+420-8x=195

5x=420-195

5x=225

x=45

y=30

Total time of one cardi and weighted = 75min= 5/4 h.

4)2x+4y=

90+120=210 total time of week three.
