The value of the numerator of a particular fraction is one-half the value of its denominator. If the numerator is increased by 2

and the denominator is decreased by 2, the value of the resulting fraction is 3/4. What is the denominator of the original fraction? URGENT!

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original denominator be 2x.

The original numerator is x.

The original fraction is x/(2x).

The numerator is increased by 2, and the denominator is decreased by 2.

The new fraction is (x + 2)/(2x - 2).

The new fraction equals 3/4.

(x + 2)/(2x - 2) = 3/4

Cross multiply.

4(x + 2) = 3(2x - 2)

4x + 8 = 6x - 6

-2x = -14

x = 7

The original numerator was 7.

2x = 2(7) = 14

The original denominator was 14.

Answer:

Yp = t[Asin(2t) + Acos(2t)]

Yp = t²[At² + Bt + C]

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "multiplicity" means when a given equation has a root at a given point is the multiplicity of that root.

(a) r1=-2i; r2=2i g(t)=2sin(2t) + 3cos(2t)

As you can notice the multiplicity of this equation is 1 since the roots r1 = 2i and r2 = 2i appear for only once.

The form of a particular solution will be

Yp = t[Asin(2t) + Acos(2t)]

where t is for multiplicity 1

(b) r1=r2=0; r3=1 g(t)= t² +2t + 3

As you can notice the multiplicity of this equation is 2 since the roots r1 = r2 = 0 appears 2 times.

The form of a particular solution will be

Yp = t²[At² + Bt + C]

where t² is for multiplicity 2

Heeeeeeelp pleasee pleasee

I'm going to convert all the values given to you in percentages, so hopefully you should be able to see the correct answer a little clearer. :)

Debbie said that 21/50 drink coffee in the morning. 21/50 can also be written as 42/100, and now that it's out of 100, it's basically a percentage. (42%).

Allen said that 45% of people drink coffee in the morning. His value is already written as a percentage, so we won't do anything with it.

Benny says that 0.495 of the people he surveyed drink coffee in the morning. 0.495 is the same as 49.5% (multiply it by 100 to get it in a percentage).

So, in Debbie's survey, 42% of people drink coffee.
In Allen's survey, 45% of people drink coffee.
In Benny's survey, 49.5% of people drink coffee.

Therefore, the answer is Benny's survey. :)

Answer: $480

Explanation: First, change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. 40/100 = .4
Then multiply .4 by the cost, $1200. .4*1200 = $480
