the number is 6

let the number be n , then the difference of this number and 3 is n - 3

4 times this is 4(n - 3) = 12 ( solve for n )

divide both sides by 4

n - 3 = 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

n = 3 + 3 = 6

the number is 6

Find all solutions in the region [0,2pi) for the equation cos^2(2x)-sin^2(2x)=0

Lynna [10]

$\cos^{2}(2x)-\sin^{2}(2x)=0$
$\rightarrow \sin^{2}(2x)=\cos^{2}(2x)$
$\rightarrow \frac{\sin^{2}(2x)}{\cos^{2}(2x)}=1$
$\rightarrow \tan^{2}(2x)=1$
$\rightarrow \tan(2x)=\pm 1$

$2x$ can range anywhere in $[0, 4\pi)$
So:
$\rightarrow 2x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4}, \frac{9\pi}{4}, \frac{11\pi}{4}, \frac{13\pi}{4}, \frac{15\pi}{4}$
$\rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{8}, \frac{3\pi}{8}, \frac{5\pi}{8}, \frac{7\pi}{8}, \frac{9\pi}{8}, \frac{11\pi}{8}, \frac{13\pi}{8}, \frac{15\pi}{8}$

An element with mass 670 grams decays by 27.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 9 minutes, to the nearest

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

There will be 38 grams remaining.

The equation would be of the form
y = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial value, r is the rate as a decimal number, and x is the amount of time. Using our values from the problem, we have:

y = 670(1-0.273)^9 = 670(0.727)^9 = 38
