How to find the surface area of a triangular prism

1 answer:

Answer: Surface area of a triangular prism = 2*Area of Base (triangle) + Perimeter of Base (triangle)*Height

Step-by-step explanation: The sum of the areas of all the sides of the triangular prism is equal to the surface area. Thus, if you add all the areas of the sides you will get the surface area. The equation above is a faster way to do it.

Problem 4: Solve the initial value problem

pishuonlain [190]

Separate the variables:

$y' = \dfrac{dy}{dx} = (y+1)(y-2) \implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} \, dy = dx$

Separate the left side into partial fractions. We want coefficients a and b such that

$\dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac a{y+1} + \dfrac b{y-2}$

$\implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac{a(y-2)+b(y+1)}{(y+1)(y-2)}$

$\implies 1 = a(y-2)+b(y+1)$

$\implies 1 = (a+b)y - 2a+b$

$\implies \begin{cases}a+b=0\\-2a+b=1\end{cases} \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ and } b = \dfrac13$

So we have

$\dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = dx$

Integrating both sides yields

$\displaystyle \int \dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = \int dx$

$\dfrac13 \left(\ln|y-2| - \ln|y+1|\right) = x + C$

$\dfrac13 \ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = x + C$

$\ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = 3x + C$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = e^{3x + C}$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = Ce^{3x}$

With the initial condition y(0) = 1, we find

$\dfrac{1-2}{1+1} = Ce^{0} \implies C = -\dfrac12$

so that the particular solution is

$\boxed{\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}}$

It's not too hard to solve explicitly for y; notice that

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = \dfrac{(y+1)-3}{y+1} = 1-\dfrac3{y+1}$

Then

$1 - \dfrac3{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac3{y+1} = 1 + \dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac{y+1}3 = \dfrac1{1+\frac12 e^{3x}} = \dfrac2{2+e^{3x}}$

$y+1 = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}}$

$y = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}} - 1$

$\boxed{y = \dfrac{4-e^{3x}}{2+e^{3x}}}$

Well in order to do that you need to do -4 2/3 - -7 1/5.
