The answer is: 4%  

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 5750 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 5750, so we can write it down as 100%=5750.

4. We know, that x% equals 230 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=230.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=5750

2) x%=230

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=5750/230

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 230 is what percent of 5750

100%/x%=5750/230

(100/x)*x=(5750/230)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25) to get x

100/25=x

4=x

x=4

now we have:

230 is 4% of 5750

Identify the domain and range of the relation:<br> (-5,-3), (-2,1), (1,4), (2,5)
jonny [76]

Domain is the x-coordinate and range is the y - coordinate

\therefore \: domain =  \{ - 5, \:  - 2, \: 1, \: 2 \} \\  \\ \&\: range =  \{  - 3, \: 1, \: 4, \: 5\}

Solve for the roots in the equation below. x4 + 3x2 - 4 = 0
fgiga [73]
First, you need to rewrite the expression into binomial form, so you are working with two terms (as you world with a quadratic):
(x²)²-3(x²)-4=0
Now, you can place the x²s into brackets as the coefficient is now 1:
(x²  )(x²  )
Next, find out two numbers that add together to give you -3 and multiply to give -4 (these are the leftover integers after removing the x²s). These two numbers are -4 and 1.
Place the -4 and 1 into the brackets:
(x²-4)(x²+1)=0
Notice that the x²-4 is a difference of two squares, so can be further factorised into (x+2)(x-2)
This leaves you with a final factorisation of:
(x+2)(x-2)(x²+1)=0
Now we handle each bracket individually to obtain our four solutions for x:
x+2=0
x=-2
x-2=0
x=2
x²+1=0
x²=1
x=<span>±1</span>
