Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 2y + xy = 0

Hence, 2y + xy = 0 ---------(1)

Differentiating equation (1) n times by Leibnitz theorem, gives:

2y(n) + xy(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

Let x = 0: 2y(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

2y(n) = -ny(n - 1)

∴ y(n) = -ny(n - 1)/2 for n ≥ 1

For n = 1: y = 0

For n = 2: y(1) = -y

For n = 3: -3y(2)/2

For n = 4: -2y(3)

kirill [66]

Answer:

$y = \frac{-5}{3}\\\\y = \frac {4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{1}{3}\\\\when \ x = -3 \\\\y = \frac{2}{3}(-3) + \frac{1}{3} = -2 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{-6 + 1}{3}= \frac{-5}{3} \\\\When \ x = 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\\\\y = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = 1+ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 + 1}{3}= \frac{4}{3} \\\\$

A kite flying in the air has a 12 line attached to it. Its line is pulled taut and casts a 9 shadow. Find the height of the kite

alexira [117]

Answer:

8 (7.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of it as a geometry problem.

What is formed here is a triangle, which sides ate: the line, the line's shadow, and the height from the ground to the kite (here I attach a drawing).

What you need to find is the height. We will call it H.

As the triangle formed is a right one, we can use Pitágoras' theorem. The height H squared plus the squared of the shadow is equal to the squared of the line (the hypotenuse). This is:

H^2 + 9^2 = 12^2

H^2 + 81= 144

H^2 = 63

Applying squared root in both sides

H = √63

H = 7,94

So, the height is approximately 8.
