Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similiar, this means they can have different sized sides, but they are just scaled versions of each other. This also means that no matter what sides they have, their angles are going to be the exact same

Knowing this, it helps to draw them out side by side so you can match them up easier. Both of them have a 90 degree angle, and more specifically they are 45-45-90 triangles (45-45-90 is a special right triangle). You can point this out since they give us a 90 degree angle and two angles that are congruent in the same triangle. In order for that to work, they HAVE to be 45-45-90

With this, we can find out what x equals. Since the two angles markings line up with the two side angles in the other triangle, we know that they are equal to each other.

we can use the equation 15x = 45, since 45 is what the side angle should equal.

now, we just divide 45 by 15, and we should get 3

so x = 3!

I hope this helps :)

can someone show me how to find the general solution of the differential equations? really need to know how to do it for the upc

mariarad [96]

The first equation is linear:

$x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}-y=x^2\sin x$

Divide through by $x^2$ to get

$\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}-\dfrac1{x^2}y=\sin x$

and notice that the left hand side can be consolidated as a derivative of a product. After doing so, you can integrate both sides and solve for $y$ .

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1xy\right]=\sin x$
$\implies\dfrac1xy=\displaystyle\int\sin x\,\mathrm dx=-\cos x+C$
$\implies y=-x\cos x+Cx$

The second equation is also linear:

$x^2y'+x(x+2)y=e^x$

Multiply both sides by $e^x$ to get

$x^2e^xy'+x(x+2)e^xy=e^{2x}$

and recall that $(x^2e^x)'=2xe^x+x^2e^x=x(x+2)e^x$ , so we can write

$(x^2e^xy)'=e^{2x}$
$\implies x^2e^xy=\displaystyle\int e^{2x}\,\mathrm dx=\frac12e^{2x}+C$
$\implies y=\dfrac{e^x}{2x^2}+\dfrac C{x^2e^x}$

Yet another linear ODE:

$\cos x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\sin x\,y=1$

Divide through by $\cos^2x$ , giving

$\dfrac1{\cos x}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos^2x}y=\dfrac1{\cos^2x}$
$\sec x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+\sec x\tan x\,y=\sec^2x$
$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[\sec x\,y]=\sec^2x$
$\implies\sec x\,y=\displaystyle\int\sec^2x\,\mathrm dx=\tan x+C$
$\implies y=\cos x\tan x+C\cos x$
$y=\sin x+C\cos x$

- - -

In case the steps where we multiply or divide through by a certain factor weren't clear enough, those steps follow from the procedure for finding an integrating factor. We start with the linear equation

$a(x)y'(x)+b(x)y(x)=c(x)$

then rewrite it as

$y'(x)=\dfrac{b(x)}{a(x)}y(x)=\dfrac{c(x)}{a(x)}\iff y'(x)+P(x)y(x)=Q(x)$

The integrating factor is a function $\mu(x)$ such that

$\mu(x)y'(x)+\mu(x)P(x)y(x)=(\mu(x)y(x))'$

which requires that

$\mu(x)P(x)=\mu'(x)$

This is a separable ODE, so solving for $\mu$ we have

$\mu(x)P(x)=\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu(x)}{\mathrm dx}\iff\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu(x)}{\mu(x)}=P(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$\implies\ln|\mu(x)|=\displaystyle\int P(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$\implies\mu(x)=\exp\left(\displaystyle\int P(x)\,\mathrm dx\right)$

and so on.
