This can be solved by converting both fractions to a common denominator. The easiest way to find a common denominator is to multiply both denominators together. So, 3*8 is 24.

Next, convert the numerators. Multiply the numerator of each fraction by the old denominator of the other fraction.

Flour:

2/3 -> (2*8)/24 -> 16/24

Blueberries:

5/8 -> (5*3)/24 -> 15/24
------
Because the numerator of flour, 16, is greater than that of blueberries, 15, and both fractions have the same denominator, the amount of flour is greater than the amount of blueberries in the recipe.

Flour has more because flour has 16/24 and blueberries has 15/24

Solve the differential equation by variation of parameters.<br><br> y''+y=secx

suter [353]

Answer:y=

Acosx+Bsinx +cosx ln(cosx)+x sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation y''+y=secx

auxiliary equation

$p^2+1=0\\p=\pm i$

so CF is y=Acosx+Bsinx

now

$y_1(x)=cosx \ \ \ \ y_2(x)=sinx\\{y_1}'(x)=-sinx \ \ \ \ {y_2}'(x)=cosx$

using wronskian formula

$W=\begin{vmatrix}cosx &sinx \\ -sinx & cosx\end{vmatrix}$

= $cos^2x+sin^2x=1$

now f(x)=secx

$u=-\int \frac{f(x)y_2(x)}{W(x)}dx \ and \ v=\int \frac{f(x)y_1(x)}{W(x)}dx$

$u=-\int \frac{secx\times sinx}{1}dx \ and \ v=\int \frac{secx\times cosx}{1}dx$

$u=-\int tanx dx \ and \ v=\int {1}dx$

$u=ln(cosx) \ \ \ and \ \ v=x$

now particular integrals are

PI=cosx ln(cosx)+x sinx

total solution

y= C.F+P.I

y=Acosx+Bsinx +cosx ln(cosx)+x sinx

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Given:

Lines AB and CD are intersecting each other at a point E.

To prove:

∠ACB ≅ ∠DEB

Statements Reasons

1). ∠AEC + ∠BEC = 180° 1). Linear pair theorem

2). ∠DEB + ∠BEC = 180° 2). Linear pair theorem

3). ∠AEC + ∠BEC = ∠DEB + ∠BEC 3). Transitive property of equality

4). ∠AEC = ∠DEB 4). Subtraction property of equality
