169 = c^2

13 = c

If x^2+1/x^2=3 find the value of x^2/(x^2+1)^2<br> Express answer as a common fraction.<br> Thanks!!

timama [110]

$x^2+\dfrac1{x^2}=3\implies x^4+1=3x^2\implies x^4-3x^2+1=0$

By the quadratic formula,

$x^2=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}2\implies x^2+1=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt5}2$

Then

$(x^2+1)^2=\dfrac{25\pm10\sqrt5+5}4=\dfrac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2$

$\implies\dfrac{x^2}{(x^2+1)^2}=\dfrac{\frac{3\pm\sqrt5}2}{\frac{15\pm5\sqrt5}2}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}$

Multiply numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate:

$\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt5}{15\pm5\sqrt5}\cdot\dfrac{15\mp5\sqrt5}{15\mp5\sqrt5}=\dfrac{45\pm15\sqrt5\mp15\sqrt5-25}{15^2-(5\sqrt5)^2}=\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac15$

If 120% is £360 what is 100%

AleksAgata [21]

In this question a vital information has been provided. This information can be used for determining the answer to the question that is asked. It is given that 120% of a certain number is 360 pound. The 100% value of the number needs to be determined.
Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
120x/100 = 360
12x/10 = 360
12x = 360 * 10
12x = 3600
x = 3600/12
= 300
Now we can say that the 100% of the number or the actual number is 300 pounds. I hope the problem is clear to you and you can understand the trick involved in the question.

A model giraffe has a scale of 1 in : 3 ft. If the model giraffe is 4 in tall, then how tall is the real giraffe

The answer is 12ft. Because if 1in is 3ft then 4in will be 4 multiplied by 3
