1 answer:
Answer:
The number of girls in German club are .
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
of n are boys.
Thus the number of girls are: .
1/3 of the girls in the club study Spanish.
Girls studying Spanish =
That means now total number of girl left:
5/6 of the remaining girls study French.
Girls studying French =
That means now total number of girl left:
The rest of the girls in the club study German.
Hence, the number of girls in German club are .

Solve for <em>x</em> when √(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1 :
√(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1
<em>x</em> ² - 4 = 1
<em>x</em> ² = 5
<em>x</em> = ±√5
We're looking at <em>x </em>≤ 0, so we take the negative square root, <em>x</em> = -√5.
This means <em>f</em> (-√5) = 1, or in terms of the inverse of <em>f</em>, we have <em>f</em> ⁻¹(1) = -√5.
Now apply the inverse function theorem:
If <em>f(a)</em> = <em>b</em>, then (<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(<em>b</em>) = 1 / <em>f '(a)</em>.
We have
<em>f(x)</em> = √(<em>x</em> ² - 4) → <em>f '(x)</em> = <em>x</em> / √(<em>x</em> ² - 4)
So if <em>a</em> = -√5 and <em>b</em> = 1, we get
(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = 1 / <em>f '</em> (-√5)
(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = √((-√5)² - 4) / (-√5) = -1/√5
The sign must be negative; see the attached plot, and take note of the negatively-sloped tangent line to the inverse of <em>f</em> at <em>x</em> = 1.
