Powered by AITo find the time required for two individuals working together to complete a task, calculate each individual's work rate per day and then combine them. For example, if Reena can complete a job in 4 days (rate = 1/4 per day) and Mihir in 5 days (rate = 1/5 per day), their combined rate is 1/4 + 1/5 = 9/20 per day. To find the total time for both working together, take the reciprocal of their combined rate: 1 / (9/20) = 2.22 days .
To solve a logarithmic equation like log(x-1) + log(x+1) = log21, use the property that log(a) + log(b) = log(ab), rewriting it as log((x-1)(x+1)) = log21. This implies (x-1)(x+1) = 21. Expanding this gives x^2 - 1 = 21, thus x^2 = 22, leading to x = ±√22 as solutions .
The future value of an investment under compound interest grows with rate and time according to the formula P = P₀(1 + r)^t, where P₀ is the initial principal, r is the rate per period, and t is the number of periods. For example, calculating the population in 2029 with initial population 4.7 billion and growth rate 2%, P = 4.7(1.02)^19, results in approximately 6.66 billion. Increasing the rate or extending the time period results in more significant growth due to compound effects .
The decrease in grazing area when the radius changes can be calculated by finding the difference in areas of circles with the old and new radii. If the old radius is 23 m and the new is 11 m, the old area is π(23)^2 and the new area is π(11)^2. The decrease is (529 - 121)π = 408π, which is approximately 1282.74 m² .
The probability of a conditional event given two probabilities can be found using the formula P(B|A) = P(A∩B)/P(A). With P(A) = 40/100 and P(A∩B) = 20/100, P(B|A) = (20/100)/(40/100) = 0.5, indicating the likelihood an additional condition is met given the first event .
To identify set elements using a Venn diagram, apply the principle of inclusion-exclusion. For example, if n(T∪C) = 20, n(T) = 12, and n(C) = 15, then the elements common to both sets (n(T∩C)) are calculated by: n(T) + n(C) - n(T∪C) = 12 + 15 - 20 = 7. The elements unique to tea are n(T) - n(T∩C) = 12 - 7 = 5 .
To calculate the average monthly earnings of a company with variable savings, accumulate total savings over the different periods. First, calculate savings for each period: 12×3 = 36 lakh for the first 3 months, 12.5×4 = 50 lakh for the next 4 months, and 31.2×5 = 156 lakh for the following 5 months. Sum these savings: 36 + 50 + 156 = 242 lakh. Add total expenditure to total savings to get total earnings: 242 + 78 = 320 lakh. Finally, divide by the number of months (12) to find the average monthly earnings: 320/12 = 26.67 lakh .
To find a specific term from the end in an arithmetic progression (AP), use the formula for the nth term: a_n = a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference. For the AP 7, 10, ..., 130, the last term (130), common difference (3), and number of terms (42) help find the 10th term from end: 130 - (10-1)×3 = 103 .
To find the area of a circle inscribed in a square with a given perimeter, first calculate the side length of the square by dividing the perimeter by 4. For a square with a perimeter of 180 cm, the side length is 180/4 = 45 cm. The radius of the inscribed circle is half the side, r = 22.5 cm. The area of the circle is then πr², calculated as 3.14 × (22.5)^2 = 1590.375 cm² .
To calculate the derivative using first principles, consider the limit definition: f'(x) = lim(h→0) [(f(x+h) - f(x))/h]. For y = 2x² + 3x, expand and simplify: (2(x+h)² + 3(x+h)) - (2x² + 3x) results in (4xh + 2h² + 3h). Dividing by h and taking the limit h→0, we find the derivative is 4x + 3 .
