<span>Step 1. Let x be the number and 1/x be its reciprocal.
Step 2. Then, since the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 25/12.
Step 3. Multiply 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the denominators.
Step 4. Subtract 25x to put the equation in quadratic form

Rearrange the ODE as


Take

, so that

.
Supposing that

, we have

, from which it follows that


So we can write the ODE as

which is linear in

. Multiplying both sides by

, we have

![\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[e^{x^2}u\bigg]=x^3e^{x^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%5Cbigg%5Be%5E%7Bx%5E2%7Du%5Cbigg%5D%3Dx%5E3e%5E%7Bx%5E2%7D)
Integrate both sides with respect to

:
![\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\bigg[e^{x^2}u\bigg]\,\mathrm dx=\int x^3e^{x^2}\,\mathrm dx](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint%5Cfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%20d%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%20dx%7D%5Cbigg%5Be%5E%7Bx%5E2%7Du%5Cbigg%5D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx%3D%5Cint%20x%5E3e%5E%7Bx%5E2%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dx)

Substitute

, so that

. Then

Integrate the right hand side by parts using



You should end up with



and provided that we restrict

, we can write
Answer: 59
explanation: PEMDAS, first multiply 9x6 as they are multiplication then add
good luck!
6 times a number n is 6n.
In algebra, when number multiply with variables, you don't need a multiplication sign (x). You just put them together like 6n (instead of 6 x n).
