Step-by-step explanation:

—Let the unknown number is x, so we can write the equation like below.

\frac{2}{5}  \times x =  \frac{3}{8}

\:

—Find x.

\frac{2}{5}  \times x =  \frac{3}{8}

x =  \frac{3}{8}  \div  \frac{2}{5}

x =  \frac{3}{8}  \times  \frac{5}{2}

x =  \frac{15}{16}

\:

—Let's prove that it's true.

\frac{2}{5}  \times x =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{2}{5}  \times  \frac{15}{16}  =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{30}{80}  =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{30 \div 10}{80 \div 10}  =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{3}{8}  =  \frac{3}{8}  \:  \:  \text{proved}

\:

So, the other number or the value of x is \frac{15}{16}

Write a series of rigid motions that transform pentagon ABCDE to pentagon A′B′C′D′E′
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

We need the following three rigid motions:

i) Reflection around y-axis, ii) Translation three units in the -y direction, iii) Translation four units in the -x direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to perform three operations on pentagon ABCDE to create pentagon A'B'C'D'E':

i) Reflection around y-axis:

(x',y') = (-x,y) (Eq. 1)

ii) Translation three units in the -y direction:

(x'',y'') = (x', y'-3) (Eq. 2)

iii) Translation four units in the -x direction:

(x''',y''') = (x''-4, y'') (Eq. 3)

We proceed to proof the effectiveness of operations defined above by testing point D:

1) D(x,y) = (-1, 4) Given.

2) (x',y') = (1,4) By (Eq. 1)

3) (x'',y'') = (1, 1) By (Eq. 2)

4) D'(x,y) = (-3,1) By (Eq. 3)/Result

Solve 5y'' + 3y' – 2y = 0, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 2.8 y(t) = 0 Preview

Answer:  The required solution is

y(t)=-\dfrac{7}{3}e^{-t}+\dfrac{7}{3}e^{\frac{1}{5}t}.

Step-by-step explanation:   We are given to solve the following differential equation :

5y^{\prime\prime}+3y^\prime-2y=0,~~~~~~~y(0)=0,~~y^\prime(0)=2.8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

Let us consider that

y=e^{mt} be an auxiliary solution of equation (i).

Then, we have

y^prime=me^{mt},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mt}.

Substituting these values in equation (i), we get

5m^2e^{mt}+3me^{mt}-2e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (5m^2+3y-2)e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5m^2+3m-2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mt}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow 5m^2+5m-2m-2=0\\\\\Rightarrow 5m(m+1)-2(m+1)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m+1)(5m-1)=0\\\\\Rightarrow m+1=0,~~~~~5m-1=0\\\\\Rightarrow m=-1,~\dfrac{1}{5}.

So, the general solution of the given equation is

y(t)=Ae^{-t}+Be^{\frac{1}{5}t}.

Differentiating with respect to t, we get

y^\prime(t)=-Ae^{-t}+\dfrac{B}{5}e^{\frac{1}{5}t}.

According to the given conditions, we have

y(0)=0\\\\\Rightarrow A+B=0\\\\\Rightarrow B=-A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

and

y^\prime(0)=2.8\\\\\Rightarrow -A+\dfrac{B}{5}=2.8\\\\\Rightarrow -5A+B=14\\\\\Rightarrow -5A-A=14~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Uisng equation (ii)}]\\\\\Rightarrow -6A=14\\\\\Rightarrow A=-\dfrac{14}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow A=-\dfrac{7}{3}.

From equation (ii), we get

B=\dfrac{7}{3}.

Thus, the required solution is

y(t)=-\dfrac{7}{3}e^{-t}+\dfrac{7}{3}e^{\frac{1}{5}t}.

At a zoo, the lion pen has a ring-shaped sidewalk around it. The outer edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 11 m. T
elixir [45]

Answer:

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=40 \pi\text{ m}^2

\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=125.6\text{ m}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that at a zoo, the lion pen has a ring-shaped sidewalk around it. The outer edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 11 m. The inner edge of the sidewalk is a circle with a radius of 9 m.

To find the area of the side walk we will subtract the area of inner edge of the side walk of lion pen from the area of the outer edge of the lion pen.

\text{Area of circle}=\pi r^2, where r represents radius of the circle.

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=\pi*\text{(11 m)}^2-\pi*\text{(9 m)}^2

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=\pi*\text{121 m}^2-\pi*\text{81 m}^2

\text{Exact area of the sidewalk}=40 \pi\text{ m}^2

Therefore, the exact area of the side walk is 40 \pi\text{ m}^2

To find the approximate area of side walk let us substitute pi equals 3.14.

\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=40*3.14\text{ m}^2

\text{Approximate area of the sidewalk}=125.6\text{ m}^2

Therefore, the approximate area of the side walk is 125.6\text{ m}^2.
