In a science experiment, Tania uses 0.8 ounce of water to create a reaction. She wants the next reaction to be 0.1 times the siz

e of the previous reaction. How much water should she use?

Answer:

0.08 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

If the size of Tania's reaction is proportional to the amount of water used, then she can reduce the reaction size to 0.1 of its previous value by reducing the quantity of water to 0.1 of its previous value:

0.1 × 0.8 oz = 0.08 oz

The size of Tania's reaction may depend on other factors, so changing the amound of water may have no effect whatever. If water serves as a damper on the reaction, Tania may need to increase the amount of water used.

We do not have enough information to determine an appropriate answer to this question.

(X^2+y^2+x)dx+xydy=0<br> Solve for general solution

aksik [14]

Check if the equation is exact, which happens for ODEs of the form

$M(x,y)\,\mathrm dx+N(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=0$

if $\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$ .

We have

$M(x,y)=x^2+y^2+x\implies\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=2y$

$N(x,y)=xy\implies\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}=y$

so the ODE is not quite exact, but we can find an integrating factor $\mu(x,y)$ so that

$\mu(x,y)M(x,y)\,\mathrm dx+\mu(x,y)N(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=0$

<em>is</em> exact, which would require

$\dfrac{\partial(\mu M)}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial(\mu N)}{\partial x}\implies \dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial y}M+\mu\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial x}N+\mu\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}$

$\implies\mu\left(\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}\right)=M\dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial y}-N\dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial x}$

Notice that

$\dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y}=y-2y=-y$

is independent of <em>x</em>, and dividing this by $N(x,y)=xy$ gives an expression independent of <em>y</em>. If we assume $\mu=\mu(x)$ is a function of <em>x</em> alone, then $\frac{\partial\mu}{\partial y}=0$ , and the partial differential equation above gives

$-\mu y=-xy\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu}{\mathrm dx}$

which is separable and we can solve for $\mu$ easily.

$-\mu=-x\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu}{\mathrm dx}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\mu}\mu=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}x$

$\ln|\mu|=\ln|x|$

$\implies \mu=x$

So, multiply the original ODE by <em>x</em> on both sides:

$(x^3+xy^2+x^2)\,\mathrm dx+x^2y\,\mathrm dy=0$

Now

$\dfrac{\partial(x^3+xy^2+x^2)}{\partial y}=2xy$

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2y)}{\partial x}=2xy$

so the modified ODE is exact.

Now we look for a solution of the form $F(x,y)=C$ , with differential

$\mathrm dF=\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial x}\,\mathrm dx+\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}\,\mathrm dy=0$

The solution <em>F</em> satisfies

$\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial x}=x^3+xy^2+x^2$

$\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=x^2y$

Integrating both sides of the first equation with respect to <em>x</em> gives

$F(x,y)=\dfrac{x^4}4+\dfrac{x^2y^2}2+\dfrac{x^3}3+f(y)$

Differentiating both sides with respect to <em>y</em> gives

$\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y}=x^2y+\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dy}=x^2y$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dy}=0\implies f(y)=C$

So the solution to the ODE is

$F(x,y)=C\iff \dfrac{x^4}4+\dfrac{x^2y^2}2+\dfrac{x^3}3+C=C$

$\implies\boxed{\dfrac{x^4}4+\dfrac{x^2y^2}2+\dfrac{x^3}3=C}$

Order the following expressions by their values from least to greatest

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = -1

b = 2

c = 3

a + (-c) = -1 + (-3) = -4

Both numbers have same sign(-Ve).So add and the result will have the -Ve sign.

c - (-b) = c + b = 3 + 2 = 5

b = 2

Least to greatest: a +(-c) , b , c-(-b)

If Jessica split 75 pencils between 8 people in her class and kept the leftovers, how many pencils did each classmate get?

Nataly [62]

Answer: Each classmate got 9 pencils

Step-by-step explanation: if you divide 8 from 75, you get 9 pencils for each classmate and 3 for Jessica to keep.

The sum of three times a number and seven is greater than twice the number minus four

swat32

I'm guessing you want this written as an equation, so here it is.
3n+7>2(n-4)
These can be really tricky at times, so I suggest looking for "clues" in the wording, such as add, subtract, and other things. Also look for what numbers are "paired" together, like in parentheses. Hope that this helps!
