Let's say

a = 215,658

ok... so.. he first lost 1/3 of that

\bf \textit{\underline{lost} }\frac{1}{3}a\qquad  \qquad  a-\cfrac{1}{3}a\implies a-\cfrac{a}{3}\implies \cfrac{3a-a}{3}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}
\\\\\\
\textit{then he \underline{gained} }\frac{1}{2}\textit{ of }\frac{2a}{3}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{2}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{\frac{2}{1}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{6}\implies \cfrac{4a+2a}{6}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{6a}{6}\implies \boxed{a}\implies 215,658


so, his nickname might just be even steven, because, he ended up with the same original amount after the 1/2 bump.

Particle travels along a circular path that has a radius of 3 feet. The angular velocity of the particle is 18 radians per minut
Gala2k [10]
We know that

[length of a circumference ]=2*pi*r
for r=3 ft

[length of a circumference ]=2*pi*3-----------> 18.84 ft

<span>The angular velocity of the particle is 18 radians per minute.

if 2pi radians  (full circle)------------------> 18.84 ft
18 radians----------------------------------> X
X=18*18.84/(2*pi)---------> X=54 ft
so
</span>The linear velocity of the particle is 54 ft/minute

the answer is
54 ft/min

Identify the relative maximum value of g(x) for the function shown below g(x)=7/x^2+5
Liula [17]
To find t<span>he relative maximum value of the function we need to find where the function has its first derivative equal to 0.

Its first derivative is -7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2
</span>7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2 =0 the numerator needs to be eqaul to 0
2x=0
x=0

g(0) = 7/5

The <span>relative maximum value is at the point (0, 7/5).</span>
