donedy: Your calculation is right, per say. But next time try to state the condition under which the solution is valid. You cannot just divide both sides of the equation by an algebraic expression without some conditions.

Basically, when you divided both sides 2y - 4, you should have explicitly stated "for y != 2", for deduction to be valid.
Thanks but I thought all would understand. Most of us aren't Learners!

echibuzor: .

When u hear in maths that A is a function of b then it means that A is the subject of the formular... , I hope that is a major hint to solve no 2.. Workings loading, I am mobile at the moment...
nice one @echibuzor. . . .thanks for the hint
Here it is:

y= 4x + 3/2x - 5
cross multiplyng gives:
y(2x - 5) = 4x + 3
2xy - 5y = 4x + 3
collect like terms:
2xy - 4x = 3 + 5y
x(2y - 4) = 3 + 5y
dividng both sides by 2y - 4 gives:
x = 3 + 5y/2y - 4
re-arrangng gives:
x= 5y + 3/2y - 4. . . . . .answer

No in base two should be from 0-2, No in base three= 0,1,2.
Meaning the highest number in base X= x-1.
I said 1234 in base 3
already i have gone wrong with the rule, no in base 3 should not be bigger than 2 and here we have 3 and 4. Its just a question to test how careful we are in answerin questions

Edis4christ: 3). dy/dx=6x^2 + 15x^4
dy=(6x^2 + 15x^4)dx
Integrating both sides, you will have
note:integratind dy=y
So y=6x^3/3 + 15x^5/5
y=2x^3 + 3x^5
But y=7 nd x=2
So 2x^3 + 3x^5 - y=0
2(2)^3 + 3(2)^5 - 7=0
All=105
Therefore y= 2x^3 + 3x^5 +105
no bro I don't think it's +105, it's -105.

@laboz Question;

1. @General doubleDx has solved it.

2. Still finding a solution to it.

3. Let's go there (LGT)
Solution
first of all, note this symbols:
^ is for raise to power
§ is for integral
C is for constant
dy/dx= 6x^2 + 15x^4
dy= (6x^2 + 15x^4)dx
y= §dy

:. §(6x^2 + 15x^4)dx becomes:
y = 6x^3/3 + 15x^5/5 + C
y = 2x^3 + 3x^5 + C

when y= 7, x= 2:
7 = 2(2)^3 + 3(2)^5 + C
7 = 2*8 + 3*32 + C
7 = 16 + 96 + C
7 = 112 + C
C = 7 - 112
C = -105

y= 2x^3 + 3x^5 - 105. . .answer

Bravo!
Wotta gud contribution by one of our ladies here!!
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Ortarico(m): 10:31am On Jun 04, 2013
doubleDx: Question 1

√(x+7) = x - 5

Square both sides to get rid of the square root=>

√(x+7)2 = (x - 5)2
(x+7) = x2 - 10x + 25

x2 - 11x + 18 = 0
x2 - 9x - 2x + 18 = 0
x(x - 9) - 2(x - 9) = 0
(x - 9)(x - 2) = 0

:. x - 9 = 0 or x - 2 = 0

x = 9 or x = 2

their total age will be 6*23.5=141;
also the mean age of their parent is 29.5
the sum of their age is 29.5*2=59
the total age of the whole family = 59+141=200
here now we have number 8 persons
then mean age of the total family= 200/8=25yrs..... As for number two answer equals 2y/x-y..

Na im b dix:

1. No of d children times d AV age: 6 * 47/2 = 141

Now, their father plus mother: 2 * 59/2 = 59

AV age of d family= Tot AV divided by their numbers:
141/8 + 59/8 = 200/8
:. AV = 25 yrs. . . .ans

2. X+y/x-y - x-y/x+y
LCM is (x-y)(x+y)
(x+y)^2 - (x-y)^2/(x+y)(x-y)

(x^2+y^2+2xy) - (x^2+y^2-2xy)/(x-y)(x+y)
Clear brackets and collect like terms:
x^2-x^2+y^2-y^2+2xy+2xy/(x-y)(x+y)

=> 4xy/(x-y)(x+y). . . . .ans

oladoya: Here comes the workings....
The first term of the AP plus that of the GP= 3 and remember the both has the same first term so....
AP: a=3/2
GP:a=3/2
AP:2nd term = a+d and the 3rd term = a+2d
GP:2nd term= ar and 3rd term = ar^2.
if the sum of their 2nd term is = 3/2 then...... a + d +(ar) = 3/2
since we know the value of (a) then sub a = 3/2.
3/2+d+(3r/2)=3/2, multiply trough by 2: 3+2d+3r=3, collect like terms
2d+3r=0...(1) also if the sum of their 3rd term is = 6, then a+2d+ar^2=6, then 3/2+2d+3r^2/2=6 this gives 3+4d+3r^2=12
4d+3r^2=9.....(2)
now we have
2d+3r=0...(1)
4d+3r^2=9...(2)
from equ. 1
d=-3r/2....(3) sub. This for d in equ. 2
4d+3r^2=9
4(-3r/2)+3r^2=9
-6r+3r^2=9
3r^2-6r-9=0
solving quadratically we have
r= 3 or r= -1
since we were told that the GP has positive values then the commom ratio should be positive which is 3, now sub r=3 in equ. 3
d=-3r/2
d=-3(3)/2
d=-9/2
now the fifth term both
AP:a+4d
3/2+4(-9/2)=3/2-18=-33/2
GP:ar^4
3/2(3)^4=3/2(81)=243/2
243/2+(-33/2)=243/2-33/2=210/2 = 105.
