8+4+2=14
There's 4 black socks.
So 4/14
4 divided by 2 = 2
14 divided by 2 = 7
The answer is 2/7

Let C be the positively oriented square with vertices (0,0), (1,0), (1,1), (0,1). Use Green's Theorem to evaluate the line integ

liq [111]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior of the square is the region D = { (x,y) : 0 ≤ x,y ≤1 }. We call L(x,y) = 7y²x, M(x,y) = 8x²y. Since C is positively oriented, Green Theorem states that

$\int\limits_C {L(x,y)} \, dx + {M(x,y)} \, dy = \int\limits^1_0\int\limits^1_0 {(Mx - Ly)} \, dxdy$

Lets calculate the partial derivates of M and L, Mx and Ly. They can be computed by taking the derivate of the respective value, treating the other variable as a constant.

Mx(x,y) = d/dx 8x²y = 16xy
Ly(x,y) = d/dy 7y²x = 14xy

Thus, Mx(x,y) - Ly(x,y) = 2xy, and therefore, the line ntegral is equal to the double integral

$\int\limits^1_0\int\limits^1_0 {2xy} \, dxdy$

We can compute the double integral by applying the Barrow's Rule, a primitive of 2xy under the variable x is x²y, thus the double integral can be computed as follows

$\int\limits^1_0\int\limits^1_0 {2xy} \, dxdy = \int\limits^1_0 {x^2y} |^1_0 \,dy = \int\limits^1_0 {y} \, dy = \frac{y^2}{2} \, |^1_0 = 1/2$

We conclude that the line integral is 1/2

Answer:

69.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = 1/2 ( b1 + b2)h

base 1 + base 2 = 220

7645 x 2 = 14000 + 1200 + 80 + 10 = 15290

15290 / 220 = 764.5

H = 69.5

Lets check

1/2(220 x 69.5)

1/2(15290) = 7645

correct

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

Here is a list of four fractions 1/16 2/8 15/60 3/9

aleksley [76]

Answer:

3/9

Step-by-step explanation:

15*4= 60 so 15/60 is equivalent to 1/4.

1/16 is just a smaller equivalent of 2/8 which is just a smaller equivaent of 1/4.

3/9 simplified is 1/3. I/s is bigger than 1/4.

Hope this helps

Answer:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or x = 1.58204

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

5 x^4 - 7 x^3 - 5 x^2 + 5 x + 1 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 7/20:

1 + 5 (y + 7/20) - 5 (y + 7/20)^2 - 7 (y + 7/20)^3 + 5 (y + 7/20)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

5 y^4 - (347 y^2)/40 - (43 y)/200 + 61197/32000 = 0

Divide both sides by 5:

y^4 - (347 y^2)/200 - (43 y)/1000 + 61197/160000 = 0

Add (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + (43 y)/1000 to both sides:

y^4 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + 61197/160000 = (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + (43 y)/1000

y^4 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + 61197/160000 = (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2 = (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + (43 y)/1000

Add 2 (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2 = (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2 = (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2

(43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) y^2)/200 + (347 y^2)/200 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) y^2 + (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200 + λ^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + (43 y)/1000 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) (λ^2 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200) - 1849/1000000)/(4 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) (λ^2 + (sqrt(61197) λ)/200) - 1849/1000000 = (8000000 λ^3 + 60000 sqrt(61197) λ^2 + 6940000 λ^2 + 34700 sqrt(61197) λ + 6119700 λ - 1849)/1000000 = 0.

Thus the root λ = (-3 sqrt(61197) - 347)/1200 + 1/60 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)/2)^(1/3) + (19 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)^(1/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) + 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200)) or y^2 + sqrt(61197)/400 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200) - 43/(2000 sqrt(2 λ + 347/200 + sqrt(61197)/200))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/40 (sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)) + sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ + 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)))) or y = 1/40 (sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)) - sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ + 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)))) or y = 1/40 (sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ - 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197))) or y = 1/40 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)) - sqrt(2) sqrt(347 - sqrt(61197) - 400 λ - 172 sqrt(2) 1/sqrt(400 λ + 347 + sqrt(61197)))) where λ = (-3 sqrt(61197) - 347)/1200 + 1/60 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)/2)^(1/3) + (19 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)^(1/3))

Substitute λ = (-3 sqrt(61197) - 347)/1200 + 1/60 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)/2)^(1/3) + (19 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(622119) - 4673)^(1/3)) and approximate:

y = -1.19665 or y = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x - 7/20 = -1.19665 or y = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

x = -0.846647 or y = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x = -0.846647 or x - 7/20 = -0.527346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or y = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x - 7/20 = 0.491952 or y = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or y = 1.23204

Substitute back for y = x - 7/20:

x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or x - 7/20 = 1.23204

Add 7/20 to both sides:

Answer: x = -0.846647 or x = -0.177346 or x = 0.841952 or x = 1.58204

Function g is a transformation of the parent quadratic function f. Which statements are true about this function?

sergey [27]

Answer: Function g reflected function f across the x-axis.

For function g, as x approaches negative infinity, g(x) approaches negative infinity.

Function f is symmetrical about the point (4,6).
