x = # of ham sandwiches

14-x = # of turkey sandwiches ( as Lexi made 14 sandwiches)

as the question said that the number of ha sandwiches are 4 less than twice number of turkey sandwiches,

x = 2 * (14-x) - 4 = 24 - 2x

3x=24

x = 8

the number of ham sandwiches is 8, and the number of turkey sandwiches is 14-8=6

You need to make both numbers the same denominator (bottom number). Do this by multiplying. So for the first question you need 15 as the denominator. 3x3=9 5x3=15 first one is 9/15. Then its 1x5=5 and 3x5=15. Then you add 9+5 to get 14. The denominator stays the same. 14/15. This cannot be reduced. If reduced, you would be able to divide both numbers by the same number.
1. 14/15
2. 5/6
3. 1/2
4. 13/24
5. 13/24
6. 9/10
7. 5/9
8. 11/35
9. 5/8
10. 1/2

Find the area of a rhombus with diagonals 9 ft. and 12 ft

aleksklad [387]

The answer would be 54, because A= PQ over 2 = 9 x 12 over 2 = 54

Can anyone help me integrate :

worty [1.4K]

Rewrite the second factor in the numerator as

$2x^2+6x+1=2(x+2)^2-2(x+2)-3$

Then in the entire integrand, set $x+2=\sqrt3\sec t$ , so that $\mathrm dx=\sqrt3\sec t\tan t\,\mathrm dt$ . The integral is then equivalent to

$\displaystyle\int\frac{(\sqrt3\sec t-2)(6\sec^2t-2\sqrt3\sec t-3)}{\sqrt{(\sqrt3\sec t)^2-3}}(\sqrt3\sec t)\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int\frac{(6\sqrt3\sec^3t-18\sec^2t+\sqrt3\sec t+6)\sec t}{\sqrt{\sec^2t-1}}\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int\frac{(6\sqrt3\sec^3t-18\sec^2t+\sqrt3\sec t+6)\sec t}{\sqrt{\tan^2t}}\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int\frac{(6\sqrt3\sec^3t-18\sec^2t+\sqrt3\sec t+6)\sec t}{|\tan t|}\,\mathrm dt$

Note that by letting $x+2=\sqrt3\sec t$ , we are enforcing an invertible substitution which would make it so that $t=\mathrm{arcsec}\dfrac{x+2}{\sqrt3}$ requires $0\le t$ or $\dfrac\pi2$ . However, $\tan t$ is positive over this first interval and negative over the second, so we can't ignore the absolute value.

So let's just assume the integral is being taken over a domain on which $\tan t>0$ so that $|\tan t|=\tan t$ . This allows us to write

$=\displaystyle\int\frac{(6\sqrt3\sec^3t-18\sec^2t+\sqrt3\sec t+6)\sec t}{\tan t}\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int(6\sqrt3\sec^3t-18\sec^2t+\sqrt3\sec t+6)\csc t\,\mathrm dt$

We can show pretty easily that

$\displaystyle\int\csc t\,\mathrm dt=-\ln|\csc t+\cot t|+C$
$\displaystyle\int\sec t\csc t\,\mathrm dt=-\ln|\csc2t+\cot2t|+C$
$\displaystyle\int\sec^2t\csc t\,\mathrm dt=\sec t-\ln|\csc t+\cot t|+C$
$\displaystyle\int\sec^3t\csc t\,\mathrm dt=\frac12\sec^2t+\ln|\tan t|+C$

which means the integral above becomes

$=3\sqrt3\sec^2t+6\sqrt3\ln|\tan t|-18\sec t+18\ln|\csc t+\cot t|-\sqrt3\ln|\csc2t+\cot2t|-6\ln|\csc t+\cot t|+C$
$=3\sqrt3\sec^2t-18\sec t+6\sqrt3\ln|\tan t|+12\ln|\csc t+\cot t|-\sqrt3\ln|\csc2t+\cot2t|+C$

Back-substituting to get this in terms of $x$ is a bit of a nightmare, but you'll find that, since $t=\mathrm{arcsec}\dfrac{x+2}{\sqrt3}$ , we get

$\sec t=\dfrac{x+2}{\sqrt3}$
$\sec^2t=\dfrac{(x+2)^2}3$
$\tan t=\sqrt{\dfrac{x^2+4x+1}3}$
$\cot t=\sqrt{\dfrac3{x^2+4x+1}}$
$\csc t=\dfrac{x+2}{\sqrt{x^2+4x+1}}$
$\csc2t=\dfrac{(x+2)^2}{2\sqrt3\sqrt{x^2+4x+1}}$

etc.
