Hi, can someone help me with this one:

To cover a distance of 10km, a girl runs some of the way at 15km/h and walks the rest of the way at 5km/h. Her total time of journey is 1hour. A) if the distance walked is x km find a simple expession for the distance run. B) Derive an equation involving x and use it to find the distance walked?

If 47% of the people in a community voted in a local election and 75% voted in a federal election, what is the least percentage that voted in both?

47-x+75-x+x=100

122-x=100

x = 122-100

x= 22

Youngsage:

x + y =5 -------- eqn i.
x^x + y^y=31 ----- eqn ii.
From equatns i & ii, take the log of both sides
(xlog^x + ylog^y) = log 31------ eqn iii.
log(x+y) = log 5 ------------ eqn iv.
xylogxy= log 31 -------- eqn v.
log xy = log 5 --------- eqn vi.
(Using elimination method);
xylog5 = log31
xy = log 31/log 5 =6.2 approx. 6.

Recall, from eqn i, x + y = 5.
So x = 6/y or y = 6/x.
Therefore x=2 when y=3.
ans: x=2, and y=3.

I,disagree with this solution. bcus log31/logo =2.13approx.an not 6 by approx
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Mechanics96(m): 3:04pm On Dec 30, 2017
This solution is wrong sir; u don't take the log of x^x+y^y as xlog^x +ylog^y, and neither do you say xlogx+ ylogy. It should be log(x^x+y^y). These two are not the same.

Simple test ; log3+log7 is never equal to log (3+7)

Also log31/log5 is not 6.2 but 2.13...




Let's get something clear on this question. It is only an IQ test, no maths rule supports the solution, yet the solution is crystal clear.
There are many of such questions, the tricks for hacking the solution is thought in numerology.
For example; if the sum of two numbers that have themselves as powers is a prime number then the numbers must be prime or one prime one even. x^x+y^y=31, x and y are both prime, one of them is even.

Not classroom mathematics...

I also got carried away recently by numerology. If someone is interested, then there is a lot of useful information https://numbervoice.com/ It is very interesting.

Ok let me have a crack on this.


We were asked to show that 2y^2-y-1<=0 for all values of x in R (i.e. (-inf, inf)), if y=(2x+3)/(x^2+2x+3) ;

Let's first factorize 2y^2-y-1=(2y+1)(y-1);=> (2y+1)(y-1)<=0; for this to be true, it means (2y+1)<=0 and (y-1)>=0 (We will call this scenario 1) OR (2y+1)>=0 and (y-1)<=0 (scenario 2).

Assessing scenario 1(a) 2y+1<=0; => y<=-1/2;(that is y can be -1,-2,-3,... etc). BUT this is in contradiction to scenario 1 (b) y-1>=0 (i.e. -1-1=-2 CANNOT be greater than 0). This means there exist values for y such that scenario one is not satisfied (there goes scenario 1 off the window). We are then left with scenario 2.

We must now show that substituting y=(2x+3)/(x^2+2x+3) into scenario 2 must satisfy the inequality.

Let's substitute it into scenario 2(a), we obtain 2((2x+3)/(x^2+2x+3))+1 ?>=0 (i.e. is this >=0), => 2(2x+3) ?>= -(x^2+2x+3) , simplifying further we have x^2+6x+9 ?>=0; => (x+3)^2 ?>=0. Any number squared is always positive irrespective of whether the number is negative or positive, hence we can now be confident to remove the question mark in front of the inequality and say yes for any value of x, 2y+1>=0, and this implies that y-1<=0 for y=(2x+3)/(x^2+2x+3); hence the proof of 2y^2-y-1<=0 is complete.

Second part (finding the maximum and minimum of y)

y=(2x+3)/(x^2+2x+3); we look for the stationary or turning points which are usually maximum, minimum or inflexion points. The stationary points are points where there is a sign change of y as increases that is y moves from positive to negative or vice versa; this means y must go through 0. Knowing this characteristic, we would want to seek these points ; one way of achieving this is to find the points where the derivative of y wrt x is 0 (i.e. dy/dx=0).

Differentiating dy/dx using quotient rule gives dy/dx=(-2x^2-6x)/(x^2+2x+3)^2=0;

-2x^2-6x=0; =>x^2+3x=> x(x+3)=0=> x=0, x=-3; Hence the turning points occur at x=0 an -3; but you were asked about the maximum and minimum values not where in the x space they occur. Substituting the values into the function we get y=1 at x=0 and y=-1/2 at x=-3.
all other values of y are bounded between 1 and -1/2, which implies the maximum value of y=1 and the minimum value of y=-1/2.
