Answer:

9,11

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x, x+2 (since consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2)

therefore;

x(x+2)= 99

x²+2x=99

I usually solve the sum like this,

we need to find the nearest square number ( number smaller than the number on the R.H.S)

here, it is 81, whose square root is 9. therefore the solution is 9

verification:

(9)²+2*9=99

81+18=99

99=99

hence, 9 is the solution. therefore the positive odd consecutive integers are

x=9

x+2=9+2= 11

verification:

9*11=99

99=99

Find parametric equations for the line through point P(-4,5,2) in the direction of the vector (-6,6,-5)

tigry1 [53]

The vector v (-6, 6, -5) points in the direction of itself, so we start there.

We can capture all points on the line through the origin and the point (-6, 6, -5) by scaling v by an arbitrary real number t.

The line through point P and pointing in the same direction as v is parallel to the other line that passes through the origin. Then the line we want can be obtained by translating the line through the origin by a vector p that points to (-4, 5, 2), so the vector equation for this line is

r (t ) = p + t v

r (t ) = (-4, 5, 2) + t (-6, 6, -5)

r (t ) = (-4 - 6t, 5 + 6t, 2 - 5t )

To get the parametric equations, simply take out the components:

x (t ) = -4 - 6t

y (t ) = 5 + 6t

z (t ) = 2 - 5t

Please help me on this i don’t get it that well

NeX [460]

Answer:

13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

make a ratio between the original lengths, 11 : 5.5

then put the ratio of the enlarged lengths, 27.5 : __

now you divide 27.5 by 11 to find how many times you multiplied the lengths, 2.5.

now you multiply 5.5 by 2.5 giving you the answer of 13.75

Write and then solve for y = f(x) the differential equation for the statement: "The rate of change of y with respect to x is inv

vazorg [7]

The statement "The rate of change of y with respect to x is inversely proportional to y^4" can be written mathematically as dy/dx = k/y^4

To solve the differential equation, we use variable saparable method.
y^4 dy = kdx
Integrating both sides gives,
y^5 / 5 = kx + A
y^5 = 5kx + 5A = Bx + C; where B = 5k and C = 5A
$y= \sqrt[5]{Bx+C}$

The exponential decay graph shows the expected depreciation for a new boat, sell g for $3500, over 10 years.

Alisiya [41]

Okay, the exponential function is
$g = a^{x}$
The start price of it in t=0 is 3,500, as we can see on the graph. Then, the function becomes
$g = 3500^{x}$
Let's see at t=2, where the price is g=2000:
$2000 = 3500^{x}$
Take natural logarithm:
$ln 2000 = ln 3500^{x}$
$x*ln 3500 = ln 2000$
$x = \frac{ln 2000}{ln 3500} = 0.93$
So, the difference between t=0 and t=2 is
$x_{t=0} - x_{t=2} = 1 - 0.93 = 0.07$
And then we get the change of x in one year equal to 0.035.
So, the final equation is
$g = 3500^{1-0.035t}$
You can insert any t and see that it is correct, for example t=7
