Area of the rectangular yard = 96 square feet
Let us assume the length of the yard = x feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
Then
Area of the yard = length * width
96 = x(x - 4)
96 = x^2 - 4x
x^2 - 4x - 96 = 0
x^2 - 12x + 8x - 96 = 0
x(x - 12) +8(x - 12) = 0
(x - 12)(x + 8) = 0
As the value of length cannot be negative so
x - 12 = 0
x = 12
So
Length of the yard = 12 feet
Width of the yard = x - 4 feet
                             = 12 - 4 feet
                             = 8 feet
Then
Perimeter of the yard = 2 (length + width)
                                   = 2(12 + 8)
                                   = 2 * 20 feet
                                   = 40 feet.
So the perimeter of the yard  is 40 feet.

Answer:

A.

SA= \frac{2}{3} \pi rl+16 \pi r^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the original cone

SA= \pi r l + \pi r^2... (1)

When, radius is quadrupled and slant height is reduced to one sixth

i. e. \: \:r = 4r\: \: \&\:\: l= \frac{1}{6}l

Plug the above values of r and l in equation (1), new surface area becomes:

SA= \pi (4r)\times \frac{1}{6} l+ \pi (4r)^2

SA= \frac{4}{6} \pi rl+16 \pi r^2

\huge \purple {\boxed {SA= \frac{2}{3} \pi rl+16 \pi r^2}}

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a Markov chain, with two states:

U: uninvolved

M: matched

The transitions probability matrix is:

\begin{pmatrix} &U&M\\U&0.85&0.15\\M&0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}

The steady state is that satisfies this product of matrixs:

[\pi] \cdot [P]=[\pi]

being π the matrix of steady-state proportions and P the transition matrix.

If we multiply, we have:

(\pi_U,\pi_M)*\begin{pmatrix}0.85&0.15\\0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}=(\pi_U,\pi_M)

Now we have to solve this equations

0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\0.15\pi_U+0.90\pi_M=\pi_M

We choose one of the equations and solve:

0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\\pi_M=((1-0.85)/0.10)\pi_U=1.5\pi_U\\\\\\\pi_M+\pi_U=1\\\\1.5\pi_U+\pi_U=1\\\\\pi_U=1/2.5=0.4 \\\\ \pi_M=1.5\pi_U=1.5*0.4=0.6

Then, the steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.

Three highways connect the centers of three towns and
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

we know that

The circumcenter of a triangle is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect. It is also the center of the circumcircle, the circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle

The distance of the circumcenter to the vertices of the triangle is equal to the radius of the circle

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

therefore

the answer is

The cell phone company must be place the new cell tower in the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the center of the three towns

Use the substitution of x=e^{t} to transform the given Cauchy-Euler differential equation to a differential equation with consta
kherson [118]

By the chain rule,

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{\mathrm dx}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}

which follows from x=e^t\implies t=\ln x\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x.

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt} is then a function of x; denote this function by f(x). Then by the product rule,

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right]=-\dfrac1{x^2}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}

and by the chain rule,

\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dt}\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}

so that

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}-\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=x^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}

Then the ODE in terms of t is

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}+8\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}-20y=0

The characteristic equation

r^2+8r-20=(r+10)(r-2)=0

has two roots at r=-10 and r=2, so the characteristic solution is

y_c(t)=C_1e^{-10t}+C_2e^{2t}

Solving in terms of x gives

y_c(x)=C_1e^{-10\ln x}+C_2e^{2\ln x}\implies\boxed{y_c(x)=C_1x^{-10}+C_2x^2}
