Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

n = 5


Discussion:

Let the original number be "n"  Translating the problem  statement to mathematical symbolism:

n + 4 = 19 - 2n                   =>  add 2n to both sides

n + 2n + 4 = 19 - 2n + 2n  =>  combine like terms

3n + 4 = 19                        => subtract 4 from both sides

3n = 19 -4  = 15                 => divide both sides by 3

n = 15/3 =5


Check: Does 5 +4 = 19 - 2(5)? Does 9 = 9? Yes. so the value for n is confirmed correct.


Thank you,

MrB

Use simpson's rule with n = 10 to approximate the area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis. compare y
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

y = ln x , 1 <= x <= 3, about x axis and n = 10, dy/dx = 1/ x

S = (b a) ∫ 2π y √( 1 + (dy/dx) ^2) dx

so our f(x) is 2π y √( 1 + (dy/dx) ^2)

(b - a) / n = / 3 = (3-1) / 30 = 1/15

x0 = 1 , x1 = 1.2, x2 = 1.4, x3 = 1.6 ....... x(10) = 3

So we have , using Simpsons rule:-

S10 = (1/15) ( f(x0) + 4 f(x1) + 2 f)x2) +.... + f(x10) )

= (1/15) f(1) + f(3) + 4(f(1.2) + f(1.6) + f(2) + f(2.4) + f(2.8)) + 2(f(1.4) + f(1.8) + f(2.2) + f(2.6) )

( Note f(1) = 2 * π * ln 1 * √(1 + (1/1)^2) = 0 and f(3) = 2π ln3√(1+(1/3^2) = 7,276)

so we have S(10)

= 1/15 ( 0 + 7.2761738 + 4(1.4911851 +

What is 12/25 as a percent? (Step by step)<br><br> Sorry I don’t pay attention :p
kiruha [24]
12/25 as a percentage is 48%

So, since our denominator in 12/25 is 25, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator: Now we can see that our fraction is 48/100, which means that 12/25 as a percentage is 48%. Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage: And there you have it! Two different ways to convert 12/25 to a percentage. Both are pretty straightforward and easy to do, but I personally prefer the convert to decimal method as it takes less steps.
