Answer:

4x +y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocals of one another. When the equation of the line is written in standard form like this, the equation of the perpendicular line can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Doing this much would give you ...

4x +y = (constant)

Note that we have chosen to make the equation read 4x+y, not -4x-y. The reason is that "standard form" requires the leading coefficient to be positive.

Now, you just need to make sure the constant is appropriate for the point you want the line to go through. So, it needs to be ...

4(2) +(-5) = constant = 3

The line of interest has equation ...

4x + y = 3

Find the general solution of the given differential equation. cos^2(x)sin(x)dy/dx+(cos^3(x))y=1 g

eimsori [14]

If the given differential equation is

$\cos^2(x) \sin(x) \dfrac{dy}{dx} + \cos^3(x) y = 1$

then multiply both sides by $\frac1{\cos^2(x)}$ :

$\sin(x) \dfrac{dy}{dx} + \cos(x) y = \sec^2(x)$

The left side is the derivative of a product,

$\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[\sin(x)y\right] = \sec^2(x)$

Integrate both sides with respect to $x$ , recalling that $\frac{d}{dx}\tan(x) = \sec^2(x)$ :

$\displaystyle \int \frac{d}{dx}\left[\sin(x)y\right] \, dx = \int \sec^2(x) \, dx$

$\sin(x) y = \tan(x) + C$

Solve for $y$ :

$\boxed{y = \sec(x) + C \csc(x)}which follows from [tex]\tan(x)=\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}$ .

Given the speeds of each runner below, determine who runs the fastest.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Debbie runs 9 feet per second: 9 ft/s

Jessica runs 1 mile in 440 seconds: 414/50 ft/s = 207/25 ft/s = 8 7/25 ft/s

jesssica runs 131 feet in 10 seconds: since 1 mile = 5280 ft we have 1/470 mi/s = 5280/470 ft/s = 528/47 ft/s = 11 11/47 ft/s

ron runs 603 feet in 1 minute: 547 ft/min = 603/60 ft/s = 201/20 ft/s = 10 1/20 ft/s

Since:

11 11/47 > 10 1/20 > 9 > 8 7/25

Emily runs the fastest.
