2/5 * (n - 1) < 3/5 * (n + 1)
2/5 * n - 2/5 < 3/5 * n + 3/5
- 2/5 - 3/5 < 3/5 * n - 2/5 * n
- 5/5 < 1/5 * n
- 1 < 1/5 * n      /*5
- 5 < n
n > - 5

n = x

The correct result would be B) <span>x > - 5.</span>

Answer:  The correct option is (B) x > -5.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number.

We are to find the numbers that are in the solution set of this problem.

Let, 'x' represents a number in the solution set.

Then, according to the given information, we have

\dfrac{2}{5}\times (x-1)

Thus, the solution set is represented by the number 'x' such that

x > -5.

Option (B) is correct.

Find the integral, using techniques from this or the previous chapter.<br> ∫x(8-x)3/2 dx
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -\frac{16}{5} (8-x)^{\frac{5}{2}} +\frac{2}{7} (8-x)^{\frac{7}{2}} +C

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to find the following integral:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx

And for this case we can use the substitution u = 8-x from here we see that du = -dx, and if we solve for x we got x = 8-u, so then we can rewrite the integral like this:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= \int (8-u) u^{3/2} (-du)

And if we distribute the exponents we have this:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= - \int 8 u^{3/2} + \int u^{5/2} du

Now we can do the integrals one by one:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -8 \frac{u^{5/2}}{\frac{5}{2}} + \frac{u^{7/2}}{\frac{7}{2}} +C

And reordering the terms we have"

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -\frac{16}{5} u^{\frac{5}{2}} +\frac{2}{7} u^{\frac{7}{2}} +C

And rewriting in terms of x we got:

\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -\frac{16}{5} (8-x)^{\frac{5}{2}} +\frac{2}{7} (8-x)^{\frac{7}{2}} +C

And that would be our final answer.

Use completing the aquare to solve for x in the equation (x+7)(x-9)=25​
Tema [17]

Answer:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 9) (x + 7) = 25

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 2 x - 63 = 25

Add 63 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = 88

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 89

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = 89

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)
