Answer:

$225.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price before taxes be x dollars. Then we have the equation:

x + 7% of x = 240.75

x + 0.07x = 240.75

1.07x = 240.75

x = 240.75/1.07

= $225.

Sometimes a change of variable can be used to convert a differential equation y′=f(t,y) into a separable equation. One common ch

enot [183]

Answer:

$y=\frac{-7t^2+22t-7}{7t-22}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Initial value problem

$y'=(t+y)^2-1$ , y(3)=4

Substitute the value $z=t+y$

When t=3 and y=4 then

z=3+4=7

$y'=z^2-1$

Differentiate z w.r.t t

Then, we get

$\frac{dz}{dt}=1+y'$

$z'=1+z^2-1=z^2$

$z^{-2}dz=dt$

Integrate on both sides

$-\frac{1}{z}dz=t+C$

$z=-\frac{1}{t+C}$

Substitute t=3 and z=7

Then, we get

$7=-\frac{1}{3+C}$

$21+7C=-1$

$7C=-1-21=-22$

$C=-\frac{22}{7}$

Substitute the value of C then we get

$z=-\frac{1}{t-\frac{22}{7}}$

$z=\frac{-7}{7t-22}$

$y=z-t$

$y=\frac{-7}{7t-22}-t$

$y=\frac{-7-7t^2+22t}{7t-22}$

$y=\frac{-7t^2+22t-7}{7t-22}$
