You can use the special right triangles for this equation. Since the side lengths are 3 and 4, the hypotenuse of the triangle would be 5, or you can use the equation a2 + b2 = c2, 3^2 + 4^2 = c2, 25 = c2, c=5
1/2y^2=1/2x^2+8. The curve's slope at (x,y) is x/y, so dy/dx=x/y. To solve this differential equation, rearrange it to: y*dy=x*dx, and by integrating both sides, we get 1/2y^2=1/2x^2+C (some constant). Plug in (0,4) into this equation, 8=0+C, so C=8. The curve's equation is 1/2y^2=1/2x^2+8.
The answer is actually 3 and 4.
lies between the two consecutive numbers 3 and 4.
I hope this helped! :))
Answer:
y=-x/5 =3/5. that is how it is.
