9.3 and and 9 1/4 because 9 1/4 is equal to 9.25 and that's only .05 away.

9.3 and $9\frac{1}{4}$ were closest to another.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

First we will convert each given fractions into decimal form. So....

$9\frac{1}{2}= 9+\frac{1}{2} = 9+0.50 =9.50\\ \\ 9\frac{4}{5}= 9+ \frac{4}{5}= 9+0.80=9.80\\ \\ 9\frac{1}{4}= 9+\frac{1}{4} =9+0.25= 9.25$

Then the scores are: 9.30, 9.50, 9.80, 9.95 and 9.25

So, 9.30 and 9.25 are closest to another as their difference is (9.30-9.25)=0.05

That means , 9.3 and $9\frac{1}{4}$ were closest to another.

Find the missing dimension of each triangle described Height: 7 in., area: 21 in2

leonid [27]

The basic dimensions of any triangle are its area, base, and height.
They're related by the area equation; the area is half of the base times the height, or:
$A=\frac{1}{2} b h$
We know the area and the height, so the missing dimension has to be the base. Let's set up an equation by substituting the values the problem gives into the area equation.
$21=\frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot 7$
Can you solve this equation for $b$ ?

Problem 4: Solve the initial value problem

pishuonlain [190]

Separate the variables:

$y' = \dfrac{dy}{dx} = (y+1)(y-2) \implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} \, dy = dx$

Separate the left side into partial fractions. We want coefficients a and b such that

$\dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac a{y+1} + \dfrac b{y-2}$

$\implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac{a(y-2)+b(y+1)}{(y+1)(y-2)}$

$\implies 1 = a(y-2)+b(y+1)$

$\implies 1 = (a+b)y - 2a+b$

$\implies \begin{cases}a+b=0\\-2a+b=1\end{cases} \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ and } b = \dfrac13$

So we have

$\dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = dx$

Integrating both sides yields

$\displaystyle \int \dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = \int dx$

$\dfrac13 \left(\ln|y-2| - \ln|y+1|\right) = x + C$

$\dfrac13 \ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = x + C$

$\ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = 3x + C$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = e^{3x + C}$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = Ce^{3x}$

With the initial condition y(0) = 1, we find

$\dfrac{1-2}{1+1} = Ce^{0} \implies C = -\dfrac12$

so that the particular solution is

$\boxed{\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}}$

It's not too hard to solve explicitly for y; notice that

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = \dfrac{(y+1)-3}{y+1} = 1-\dfrac3{y+1}$

Then

$1 - \dfrac3{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac3{y+1} = 1 + \dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac{y+1}3 = \dfrac1{1+\frac12 e^{3x}} = \dfrac2{2+e^{3x}}$

$y+1 = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}}$

$y = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}} - 1$

$\boxed{y = \dfrac{4-e^{3x}}{2+e^{3x}}}$
