Hello :

the nth term ( general term of an arithmetic sequence is :

An =A1+(n-1)d ....a common difference is : d , A1 : the first terme
A1 = 5 and : d = 1 - 5 = - 4 n = 21
A21 = 5 + (21 -1)(-4)
A21 = 5 - 80 = -75

Decimals and percentages are both systems of designating parts of a whole. 25% of an object is the same as 1/4 of an object which is the same as .25 of an object.

A 7/16 inch long bolt is used in a machine what is the length of the bolt written as a decimal

stellarik [79]

The answer is 0.4375. What you do is you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator) when you want to turn a fraction into a decimal. So 7 divided by 16 is 0.4375.

Solve the following differential equation: y" + y' = 8x^2

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

$y=y_p+y_h = \frac{8}{3}x^3-8x^2+16x+ C_1 + C_2e^{-x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find a particular solution. We need a function of the form $y= ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$ such that

$y'= 3ax^2+2bx+c$ and

$y''= 6ax+2b$

$y'+y''= 3ax^2+2bx+c+6ax+2b = 3ax^2+x(2b+6a)+(c+2b) = 8x^2$

then, 3a= 8, 2b+6a =0 and c+2b = 0. With the first equation we obtain

a = 8/3 and replacing in the second equation 2b+6(8/3) = 2b + 16 = 0. Then, b = -8. Finally, c = -2(-8) = 16.

So, our particular solution is $y_p= \frac{8}{3}x^3-8x^2+16x$ .

Now, let's find the solution $y_p$ of the homogeneus equation $y''+y'=0$ with the method of constants coefficients. Let $y=e^{\lambda x}$

$y'=\lambda e^{\lambda x}$

$y''=\lambda^2e^{\lambda x}$

then $\lambda e^{\lambda x}+\lambda^2 e^{\lambda x} = 0$

$e^{\lambda x}(\lambda +\lambda^2)= 0$

$(\lambda +\lambda^2)= 0$

$\lambda (1+\lambda)= 0$

$\lambda =0$ and $\lambda)= -1$ .

So, $y_h = C_1 + C_2e^{-x}$ and the solution is

$y=y_p+y_h =\frac{8}{3}x^3-8x^2+16x+ C_1 + C_2e^{-x}$ .

Calculate the average speed for the following sections on the graph.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

A to B = 2000 m/s

C to D = 30,000m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

A to B is 10secs and the distance is 200m so you multiply them and you get 2000m/s

C to D is 60secs and the distance is 500m so you multiply and you get 30,000m/s
