Let us say that the number is x.

So the first step that Julio do is to cube the number so that:

x^3

Then the next he did was take cube root of the number, so that:

(x^3)^(1/3)

Solving this would result in:

x^(3/3) = x^1 = x

Since he ends up with 20, therefore:

x = 20

<span>Julio started and ended with the same number which is 20.</span>

Someone help! you have 44 text messages in your inbox. How many messages can your cell phone hold? (and inbox is 88% full)

marin [14]

We can set up a proportion.

88% = 0.88

44/0.88 = x/1

Cross multiply:

0.88x = 44

Divide 0.88 to both sides:

x = 50

So your cell phone can hold 50 messages.

Use Part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the derivative of the function. g(x) = 7x u2 − 1 u2 + 1 du 6x Hint: 7x

VikaD [51]

It looks like you're given

$g(x)=\displaystyle\int_{6x}^{7x}\frac{u^2-1}{u^2+1}\,\mathrm du$

Then by the additivity of definite integrals this is the same as

$g(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^{7x}\frac{u^2-1}{u^2+1}\,\mathrm du-\int_0^{6x}\frac{u^2-1}{u^2+1}\,\mathrm du$

(presumably this is what the hint suggests to use)

Then by the fundamental theorem of calculus, we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dx}=7\dfrac{(7x)^2-1}{(7x)^2+1}-6\dfrac{(6x)^2-1}{(6x)^2+1}=\dfrac{1764x^4+169x^2-1}{1764x^4+85x^2+1}$

Simplify this expression: 3(x + 4.5) + 2(2.6x – 3) 1. Distribute the 3 and 4 through the parentheses: 3(x) + 3(4.5) + 2(2.6x) -

Alex Ar [27]

In order to combine like terms, they have to first be organized. First combine the terms with the variable x, then the terms with no variables.

3x+13.5+5.2x-6
3x+5.2x=8.2x
13.5-6=7.5

The final simplified expression is 8.2x+7.5.

Sybil has 1/2 of a pizza left over. She wants to share the pizza with 3 of her friends. What fraction of the original pizza will

Helen [10]

Answer: $\frac{1}{2\times3}=\frac{1}{6}\text{ of the original pizza.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sybil has 1/2 of a pizza left over.

If she share the pizza with 3 of her friends, to find the fraction of the original pizza will Sybil and her 3 friends each receive, we need to divide 1/2 by 3 we get

The fraction of the original pizza will Sybil and her 3 friends each receive

$=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{3}=\frac{1}{2\times3}=\frac{1}{6}\text{ of the original pizza.}$
