Answer:
36 runners finished the race.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first half of the race, 1/4 of them dropped, so we need to calculate 1/4 of 80:
(1/4) * 80 = 80/4 = 20
If 20 runners dropped out, now we have 80 - 20 = 60 runners.
Then, in the second half, 2/5 of the remaining runners dropped out, so:
(2/5) * 60 = 2*60/5 = 120/5 = 24
If 24 runners dropped out, now we have 60 - 24 = 36 runners.
So, 36 runners finished the race.
Answer:
f(x) = 7/(x+3) -38/(x+3)²
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator is a perfect square, so the decomposition to fractions will involve both a linear denominator and a quadratic denominator.
You can start with the form ...
... f(x) = B/(x+3) + A/(x+3)²
and write this sum as ...
... f(x) = (Bx +3B +A)/(x+3)²
Equating coefficients gives ...
... Bx = 7x . . . . . B = 7
... 3B +A = -17 . . . . the constant term
... 21 +A = -17 . . . . filling in the value of B
... A = -38 . . . . . . . subtract 21 to find A
Now, we know ...
... f(x) = 7/(x+3) -38/(x+3)²
20.5/3.25 = 6.3
