Answer: 320 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

The bottle is currently 3/8 full

Current Volume = 240 mL

Concept:

Imagine the water in the bottle being separated into 8 parts

Currently, 3 parts are being occupied

Determine the volume for 1 part

3 parts = 240 mL

1 part = 240 / 3 = 80 mL

Determine the volume for half-full (4 parts)

1 part = 80 mL

4 parts = 80 × 4 = $\Large\boxed{320~mL}$

Hope this helps!! :)

I'm assuming you want to solve for z :)

By simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Exact form:

z= -5/3 , - 11/3

Mixed number form:

z= −1 2/3 , −3 2/3

Use the method of undetermined coefficients to find the general solution to the de y′′−3y′ 2y=ex e2x e−x

djverab [1.8K]

I'll assume the ODE is

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^x + e^{2x} + e^{-x}$

Solve the homogeneous ODE,

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = 0$

The characteristic equation

$r^2 - 3r + 2 = (r - 1) (r - 2) = 0$

has roots at $r=1$ and $r=2$ . Then the characteristic solution is

$y = C_1 e^x + C_2 e^{2x}$

For nonhomogeneous ODE (1),

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^x$

consider the ansatz particular solution

$y = axe^x \implies y' = a(x+1) e^x \implies y'' = a(x+2) e^x$

Substituting this into (1) gives

$a(x+2) e^x - 3 a (x+1) e^x + 2ax e^x = e^x \implies a = -1$

For the nonhomogeneous ODE (2),

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^{2x}$

take the ansatz

$y = bxe^{2x} \implies y' = b(2x+1) e^{2x} \implies y'' = b(4x+4) e^{2x}$

Substitute (2) into the ODE to get

$b(4x+4) e^{2x} - 3b(2x+1)e^{2x} + 2bxe^{2x} = e^{2x} \implies b=1$

Lastly, for the nonhomogeneous ODE (3)

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^{-x}$

take the ansatz

$y = ce^{-x} \implies y' = -ce^{-x} \implies y'' = ce^{-x}$

and solve for $c$ .

$ce^{-x} + 3ce^{-x} + 2ce^{-x} = e^{-x} \implies c = \dfrac16$

Then the general solution to the ODE is

$\boxed{y = C_1 e^x + C_2 e^{2x} - xe^x + xe^{2x} + \dfrac16 e^{-x}}$

A rectangle has a length of 4x plus 5 and a width of 8x minus 4. Which expression shows the perimeter of that rectangle? A: 4x +

mezya [45]

Answer: The answer is (D) $24x+2.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there is a rectangle, where length of the rectangle is given by

$\ell=4x+5,$

and width of the rectangle is given by

$b=8x-4.$

We are to find the perimeter of the rectangle. To do so, we need to add two times length with two times breadth of the rectangle.

Therefore, perimeter is given by

$p=2\ell+2b=2\times(4x+5)+2\times(8x-1)=8x+10+16x-8=24x+2.$

Thus, the correct option is (D).

How do I find the range of a function (no links)

Anna11 [10]

D is your answer because the bar is 4 and you must have an equal amount of plates on each side so it cannot be B. It goes up by 40 because of 2 plates on each side of the bar
