Answer:

Problem(1):     21

Problem(2):     Side length = \frac{1}{4}    Area = \frac{1}{16}

Problem(3):     Boys = 320     Girls = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

(Notes steps are cut from this answer so that it isn't too long)

1. Problem (1)

One is given the following information:

  • x+\frac{1}{x}=5
  • (x-\frac{1}{x})^2

The most logical first step is to solve for the value of (x). One can solve for the numerical value of (x) with the first equation.

x+\frac{1}{x}=5

Multiply the entire equation by (x),

x^2+1=5x

Inverse operations put the equation in the general format of a quadratic equation. The general format of a quadratic equation is as follows,

ax^2+bx+c=0

Put the given equation in this format,

x^2-5x+1=0

Now use the quadratic formula to solve for the value of (x). The quadratic formula uses the coefficients of the terms in a quadratic equation to find the roots of the equation. The quadratic formula is as follows,

\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Use the coefficients of the terms in the given quadratic equation in the formal, then simplify to solve for solutions of the given equation,

\frac{-(-5)(+-)\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}

Simplify,

\frac{-(-5)(+-)\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}

\frac{5(+-)\sqrt{21}}{2}

Now substitute these values into the equation and simplify, even though there are two values of (x), there will only be one solution,

((\frac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2}-\frac{1}{\frac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2}})^2                                      ((\frac{5-\sqrt{21}}{2}-\frac{1}{\frac{5-\sqrt{21}}{2}})^2  

(\frac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2}-\frac{2}{5+\sqrt{21}})^2                                      (\frac{5-\sqrt{21}}{2}-\frac{2}{5-\sqrt{21}})^2

Convert to a common denominator,

(\frac{5+\sqrt{21}}{2}*\frac{5+\sqrt{21}}{5+\sqrt{21}}-\frac{2}{5+\sqrt{21}}*\frac{2}{2})^2                   (\frac{5-\sqrt{21}}{2}*\frac{5-\sqrt{21}}{5-\sqrt{21}}-\frac{2}{5-\sqrt{21}}*\frac{2}{2})^2

(\frac{(5+\sqrt{21})^2-4}{2(5+\sqrt{21})})^2                                           (\frac{(5-\sqrt{21})^2-4}{2(5-\sqrt{21})})^2

Simplify,

(\frac{25+10\sqrt{21}+21-4}{10+2\sqrt{21}})^2                                     (\frac{25-10\sqrt{21}+21-4}{10-2\sqrt{21}})^2

(\frac{42+10\sqrt{21}}{10+2\sqrt{21}})^2                                              (\frac{42-10\sqrt{21}}{10-2\sqrt{21}})^2

\frac{1764+840\sqrt{21}+2100}{100+40\sqrt{21}+84}                                      \frac{1764-840\sqrt{21}+2100}{100-40\sqrt{21}+84}

\frac{3864+840\sqrt{21}}{184+40\sqrt{21}}                                               \frac{3864-840\sqrt{21}}{184-40\sqrt{21}}

21                                                            

2. Problem (2)

All four sides of a square are congruent (have the same measure), thus dividing the perimeter of a square by (4) will yield the side length of the square,

Perimeter\ of\ the\ square: 4\\Side\ length: \frac{1}{4}

The area is the two-dimensional space that a figure takes up, in the case of a square, the area is the side length times itself:

A=(\frac{1}{4})^2=\frac{1}{16}

3. Problem (3)

Let (x) represent the amount by which the ratio of boys to girls was scaled down. Assuming that these are the only two genders in the school, one can state that the sum ratio coefficients times the scaling value for both boys and girls, will equal the total number of people in the school. Thus, one can form the following equation and solve it with inverse operations and simplification,

boys + girl = total\ students\\4x + 3x = 560\\7x = 560\\x = 80

Now substitute this into the expression for the two genders in this scenario, respectively, to solve for the actual number of students of that gender,

Boys,                         Girls,

4(x)                             3(x)

4(80)                           3(80)

320                              240

Answer:

320/420 = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

4/7= x /560

Cross multiply

7x = 2240

Divide by 7:

x=320

The school has 320 boys and 240 girls

I hope this helps u:)

How do I solve 372 = -3x - 6(8x + 6)? I already know that x = -8, but I need to know the process of how to get it.
ziro4ka [17]

The value of x is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps of solving an equation of one variable

  1. Simplify the two sides of the equation
  2. Separate the variable in one side and the numerical term in the other side
  3. Divide the both sides by the coefficient of the variable

∵ 372 = -3x - 6(8x + 6)

- Simplify the R.H.S. of the equation by multiplying the bracket by 6

∵ 372 = -3x - [6(8x) + 6(6)]

- You must put the square bracket because the sign in-front of 6

  is (-) and the (-) changes the signs after it

∴ 372 = -3x - [48x + 36]

- Remember (-)(+) = (-), multiply the square bracket by (-)

∴ 372 = -3x - 48x - 36

- Add the like terms in the R.H.S.

∴ 372 = -51x - 36

- Add 36 to both sides to separate x in the R.H.S.

∴ 408 = -51x

- Divide both sides by -51 (coefficient of x)

∴ -8 = x

I hope these steps help you

The value of x is -8

If the freshman class of 63 students has 11 more boys than girls, determine how many of each are in the class.g 1
torisob [31]
B + G = 63
B = G + 11

G + 11 + G = 63
2G + 11 = 63
2G = 63 - 11
2G = 52
G = 52/2
G = 26 <=== 26 girls

B = G + 11
B = 26 + 11
B = 37 <=== 37 boys
