Express p in terms of q if

Irina-Kira [14]

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$

Un carpintero quiere cortar una plancha de triple y de 1m de largo y 60 cm de ancho, en cuadrados lo más grandes posibles. El ca

Ugo [173]

Answer: $20\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve the exercise is to make the conversion from meters to centimeters.

Since $1\ m=100\ cm$ , then the dimensions of the wood board in centimeters are:

$Lenght=100\ cm\\\\Width=60\ cm$

Now, you must find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). The steps are:

- Descompose 100 and 60 into their prime factors:

$100=2*2*5*5=2^2*5^2\\60=2*2*3*5=2^2*3*5$

- Multiply the commons with the lowest exponents:

$GCF=2^2*5\\\\GCF=4*5\\\\GCF=20$

Therefore, the side lenght of each square must be:

$s=20\ cm$

in a city school of 1,200 students, 40% of the students are on the honor roll, 60% have a part-time job, and 22% are on the hono

Alexus [3.1K]

Let
A = event that the student is on the honor roll
B = event that the student has a part-time job
C = event that the student is on the honor roll and has a part-time job

We are given
P(A) = 0.40
P(B) = 0.60
P(C) = 0.22
note: P(C) = P(A and B)

We want to find out P(A|B) which is "the probability of getting event A given that we know event B is true". This is a conditional probability

P(A|B) = [P(A and B)]/P(B)
P(A|B) = P(C)/P(B)
P(A|B) = 0.22/0.6
P(A|B) = 0.3667 which is approximate

Convert this to a percentage to get roughly 36.67% and this rounds to 37%

Final Answer: 37%

Use a proportion to estimate each population. (Please solve both questions, thank you) (I’ll reward you with brainliest :)

hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. (The capture) Capture a sample total counted =958, and them back tagged counted=38,total tagged=56

The idea is to estimate the proportion p = m/N of tagged =102.

Step 2. (The recapture) After everything has settled down, capture a new sample of n fish. Count the number of tagged fish. Suppose that k of them are tagged.

It is reasonable that, k/n would be a good estimante for p = m/N.

Accordingly, for an estimate N of N, se solve the equation m/N= k/n.
