What is the base of a triangle with an area of 207 square inches and a height of 18 inches

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: 23 in

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Height (h) = 18 in
Base (b) = ?
Area (A) = 207 sq. in

We know,
Area of a Triangle = 1/2 * b * h

Therefore,
1/2 * b * h = 207
1/2 * b * 18 = 207
b * 9 = 207
9b = 207
b = 207/9
=> b = 23

Base (b) = 23 in

A rumor spreads through a small town. Let y(t) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assume t

Answer:

The answer is shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y(t) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assume that the rate at which the rumor spreads is proportional to the product of the fraction y of the population that has heard the rumor and the fraction 1−y that has not yet heard the rumor.

$\frac{dy}{dt}\ \alpha\ y(1-y)$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=ky(1-y)$

where k is the constant of proportionality, dy/dt = rate at which the rumor spreads

$\frac{dy}{dt}=ky(1-y)\\\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}=kdt\\\int\limits {\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}} \, =\int\limit {kdt}\\\int\limits {\frac{dy}{y}} +\int\limits {\frac{dy}{1-y}} =\int\limit {kdt}\\\\ln(y)-ln(1-y)=kt+c\\ln(\frac{y}{1-y}) =kt+c\\taking \ exponential \ of\ both \ sides\\\frac{y}{1-y} =e^{kt+c}\\\frac{y}{1-y} =e^{kt}e^c\\let\ A=e^c\\\frac{y}{1-y} =Ae^{kt}\\y=(1-y)Ae^{kt}\\y=\frac{Ae^{kt}}{1+Ae^{kt}} \\at \ t=0,y=10\%\\0.1=\frac{Ae^{k*0}}{1+Ae^{k*0}} \\0.1=\frac{A}{1+A} \\A=\frac{1}{9} \\$
