Start at the beginning. 17 pages times 120 sentences is the first thing.
17 x 120 = 2040. So she has to read 2,040 sentences. If we now divide 2.040 by 14 pages/minute, we shoud get

2,040 divided by 14 = 145.7

The last thing to do, is changes those minutes into hours by dividing by 60.
2.42 hours.

Dy/dx= y^4 and y(2)= -1. Y(-1)=
cupoosta [38]

It looks like you're asked to find the value of y(-1) given its implicit derivative,

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = y^4

and with initial condition y(2) = -1.


The differential equation is separable:

\dfrac{dy}{y^4} = dx

Integrate both sides:

\displaystyle \int \frac{dy}{y^4} = \int dx

-\dfrac1{3y^3} = x + C

Solve for y :

\dfrac1{3y^3} = -x + C

3y^3 = \dfrac1{-x+C} = -\dfrac1{x + C}

y^3 = -\dfrac1{3x+C}

y = -\dfrac1{\sqrt[3]{3x+C}}

Use the initial condition to solve for C :

y(2) = -1 \implies -1 = -\dfrac1{\sqrt[3]{3\times2+C}} \implies C = -5

Then the particular solution to the differential equation is

y(x) = -\dfrac1{\sqrt[3]{3x-5}}

and so

y(-1) = -\dfrac1{\sqrt[3]{3\times(-1)-5}} = \boxed{\dfrac12}

The bailey family started a trip with a tank of 7/8 full of gas.The family finished the trip with a tank 1/4 full of gas.If no g
aleksklad [387]
The answer is A.5/8.

Why?

Multiply 1/4 with 2/2 to get the same denominator as 7/8, 8. That will yield 2/8.Then, simply subtract 2/8 from 7/8 (7/8 - 2/8), and that equals 5/8.

Hope this helps!

What's 2/5 - 9/10 as a fraction?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

- 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

turn 2/5 to have the same denominator as 10

2 ( 2 ) = 4

5 ( 2 ) = 10

4/10 - 9/10

= -5/10

simplify

-5/10 = -1/2

Graham and Hunter are circus performers. A cable lifts Graham into the air at a constant speed of 1.5 ft/s. When Graham’s arms a
lidiya [134]

Answer: Hello there!

this type of equations in one dimension (when all the factors are constants) are written as:

h =  initial position +  initial velocity*t + (acceleration/2)*t^2

First, let's describe the hunter's equation:

We know that Graham moves with a velocity of 1.5 ft/s, and when he is  18 ft above the ground, Hunter throws the ball, and because Graham is pulled with a cable, he is not affected by gravity.

If we define t= 0 when Graham is 18 ft above the ground, the equation for Graham height (in feet) is:

h = 18 + 1.5t

where t in seconds.

Now, the equation for the ball:

We know that at t= 0, the ball is thrown from an initial distance of 5ft, with an initial velocity of 24ft/s and is affected by gravity acceleration g, where g is equal to: 32.2 ft/s (notice that the gravity pulls the ball downwards, so it will have a negative sign)

the equation for the ball is:

h = 5 + 24t - (32.2/2)t^2 = 5 + 24t - 16.1t^2

So the system is:

h = 18 + 1.5t

h = 5 +24t - 16.1t^2

so the right answer is A

What is 9/14 x 2 1/3!!!!
pshichka [43]
The answer is 11
Explaination:
9/14 multiple both numbers by 3=27/42
Break 2 1/3 into 2 and 1/3
1/3 multiple both numbers but 14=14/42
27/42 x 14/42 keep number on the bottom the same
27x14= 378
Divide 378/42=9
Add the 2 from 2 1/3 to the nine
2+9=11
