The perimeter of a standard-sized rectangular rug is 36 is 36 ft. the length is 2 ft longer than the width. find the dimensions

4 0

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width. Because we don't know either the length or the width we can't solve the problem...too many unknowns. BUT we do have some information that will help with this problem. We are told that the length is 2 feet longer than the width, so we can use that: L = W+2. Now we can make the substitution into the formula along with the value for the perimeter that was given to us: 36=2(W+2) + 2W, and 36 = 2W + 4 + 2W; 36 = 4W + 4; 32 = 4W and W = 8. Now go back to where you said that the length is 2 feet longer than the width. If the width is 8, then 8+2 = 10 for the length.

Find the first four terms of the sequence given by the following an=57-4(n-1),n=1,2,3

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

57, 53, 49, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute for the n for n=1,2,3,4 so the first term is 57-4(1-1) so =57-4(0) so

a(1) = 57-0 = 57 so that is the 1st term

2nd term 57-4(2-1) so =57-4(1) so a(2) = 57-4 = 53, etc.

(10 pts) (a) (2 pts) What is the difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem? (b) (2 pts)

laiz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem is that an initial value problem is a differential equation which has condition(s) for optimization, such as a given value of the function at some point in the domain.

(B) The difference between a particular solution and a general solution to an equation is that a particular solution is any specific figure that can satisfy the equation while a general solution is a statement that comprises all particular solutions of the equation.

(C) Example of a second order linear ODE:

M(t)Y"(t) + N(t)Y'(t) + O(t)Y(t) = K(t)

The equation will be homogeneous if K(t)=0 and heterogeneous if $K(t)\neq 0$

Example of a second order nonlinear ODE:

$Y=-3K(Y){2}$

(D) Example of a nonlinear fourth order ODE:

$K^4(x) - \beta f [x, k(x)] = 0$
