45 hours.
80 - 70= 10, and 450/10 is 45.
to justify, you can do 70x45= 3,150, and 80x45= (3,600 - 3,150= 450)

Rewrite the formula to find the width of the base of the prism if the volume, length of the base, and height of the prism are al

notsponge [240]

Answer:

w = V/lh

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula V = lwh, where V is the volume of the prism, l and w are the length and width of the base of the prism, respectively, and h is the height of the prism.

Rewrite the formula to find the width of the base of the prism if the volume, length of the base, and height of the prism are already known.

volume of a rectangular prism,V = lwh

Where,

l = length of the base of the prism

w = width of the base of the prism

h = height of the prism

Rewrite the formula to find w

V = lwh

w = V/lh

That is,

width of the base of the prism = volume of the prism divided by length of the base of the prism multiplied by height of the prism

Find the solution of the given initial value problem:<br><br> y''- y = 0, y(0) = 2, y'(0) = -1/2

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: The required solution of the given IVP is

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution of the following initial value problem :

$y^{\prime\prime}-y=0,~~~y(0)=2,~~y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Let $y=e^{mx}$ be an auxiliary solution of the given differential equation.

Then, we have

$y^\prime=me^{mx},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mx}.$

Substituting these values in the given differential equation, we have

$m^2e^{mx}-e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2-1)e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2-1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mx}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2=1\\\\\Rightarrow m=\pm1.$

So, the general solution of the given equation is

$y(x)=Ae^x+Be^{-x},$ where A and B are constants.

This gives, after differentiating with respect to x that

$y^\prime(x)=Ae^x-Be^{-x}.$

The given conditions implies that

$y(0)=2\\\\\Rightarrow A+B=2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

and

$y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A-B=-\dfrac{1}{2}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

$2A=2-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2A=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3}{4}.$

From equation (i), we get

$\dfrac{3}{4}+B=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=2-\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{5}{4}.$

Substituting the values of A and B in the general solution, we get

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

Thus, the required solution of the given IVP is

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

If David and jake each looked at a strand of their hair under a microscope measured the diameter jake strand was 0.005 cm in the

Mama L [17]

Answer:

<h2>Jake's strand represents 4 times David's strand.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio between these diameters, we just need to divide them

$k=0.005cm$ and $d=0.0012cm$

If we divide

$\frac{k}{d}=\frac{0.005}{0.0012} \approx 4$

Therefore, Jake's strand represents 4 times David's strand.
