cluponka [151]

Answer:

$46.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide $49 by 5

9.8

So it costs $9.80 for 1 pound of salmon

Multiply $9.80 by 4.7

$46.06

Use Euler's method with each of the following step sizes to estimate the value of y(0.4), where y is the solution of the initial

sergey [27]

Answer:

h=0.4--> 15

h=0.2 --> 14.06

h=0.1 --> 13.71

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a numerical solution using Euler's method. Euler's method enables us to numerically approch a solution with a suitable step size. As the step size gets smaller, the approximation will be more accurate. Euler's method is as the following.

$y_{i+1}=y_{i}+h*y_{first derivation}$

Here, h is the step size. The reason why first derivation used here is to make an appriximation with using the rate of increase or decrease. As the step size is smaller, the icreases or decreases are followed more accurately. Now, let's solve the question:

for h= 0.4:

y(0.4)=y(0)+0.4*y'

The trick here is y' is equal to y, thus we can write that y'=y(0.4) and our starting point y(0) is given as 9 in the question and the equation becomes:

y(0.4)=9+0.4*y(0.4) and this is easy to solve.By replacing y(0.4) functions to be at the same side of the equation, we get:

0.6*y(0.4)=9 and by solving this equation, y(0.4) is found to be 15.

for h=0.2:

This will be similar to the previous question, but since the step size is 0.2, we will first calculate y(0.2) and then y(0.4).

y(0.2)=y(0)+0.2*y(0.2) and y(0) is 9.

0.8*y(0.2)=9 and y(0.2)=11.25. Now, we will replace this value into the next iteration o the formula istead of y(0). The equation is like:

y(0.4)=y(0.2)+0.2*y(0.4) and y(0.4) is found to be 14.06.

for h=0.1:

This is also similar to the above solutions but will be longer and have 4 iterations.

first iteration: y(0.1)=9+0.1*y(0.1) --> y(0.1)=10

second iteration: y(0.2)=y(0.1)+0.1*y(0.2) --> y(0.2)=11.11

third iteration: y(0.3)=y(0.2)+0.1*y(0.3) --> y(0.3)=12.34

fourth iteration: y(0.4)=y(0.3)+0.1*y(0.4) --> y(0.4)=13.71

As the step size gets smaller, the answer also gets smaller and more accurate. With even smaller step sizes, there will be a better approximation. However, in case you have more complex equations or smaller step sizes, it is recommended to use a computer software to make an approximation.

Please help me if you can. Please also write how you got the answer thank you.

Answer:

Question 9: Variables: (smallest) s, q, r (largest)

Question 10: 5 whole numbers (7, 8, 9, 10, and 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

For question nine, there are two given statements... s=q-2 and q<r. Say we plug in 10000 (a really big #) in for q, then we would get s=9998 and r>10000. This way, we can see that s would be the smallest, then q, and r is the largest. <em>(q<r can be written as r>q)</em>

<em />

For question 10, it states $\frac{1}{4}$ . This can be split into $\frac{3}{x}$ and $\frac{3}{x}$ . When x is 12 in the first equation then $\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$ and when x is 6 in the second equation $\frac{3}{6} =0.5$ (0.5 is also $\frac{1}{2}$ ). Therefore, x must be a whole number less than 12 and greater than 6, and it cannot be either 12 or 6. Whole numbers between 6 and 12 are 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 or 5 whole numbers.

Hip hop music makes up 75% of Landon's music library. If he has downloaded 120 hip hop songs, how many songs does Landon have in

Otrada [13]

Answer: 160 songs.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>75% hip hop music - 120 songs </em>

<em>100% all music - x songs </em>

<em>Let's write the proportion:</em>

<em /> $\dfrac{120}{75} =\dfrac{x}{100} \\\\75x=120 \cdot 100\\75x=12000\\75x : 75 = 12000 : 75\\x = 160$ <em />

<em>Thus, Landon have 160 songs in his music library.</em>

2. Given a directed line segment with endpoints A(3, 2) and B(6, 11), what is the point that

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The point of division is (5 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If point (x , y) divides the line whose endpoints are $(x_{1},y_{1})$

and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ at ratio $m_{1}:m_{2}$ , then

$x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$ and

$y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

* Lets solve the problem

- The directed line segment with endpoints A (3 , 2) and B (6 , 11)

- There is a point divides AB two-thirds from A to B

∵ The coordinates of the endpoints of the directed line segments

are A = (3 , 2) and B = (6 , 11)

∴ $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is (3 , 2)

∴ $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is (6 , 11)

∵ Point (x , y) divides AB two-thirds from A to B

- That means the distance from A to the point (x , y) is 2/3 from

the distance of the line AB, and the distance from the point (x , y)

to point B is 1/3 from the distance of the line AB

∴ $m_{1}:m_{2}$ = 2 : 1

∵ $x=\frac{(3)(1)+(6)(2)}{2+1}=\frac{3+12}{3}=\frac{15}{3}=5$

∴ The x-coordinate of the point of division is 5

∵ $y=\frac{(2)(1)+(11)(2)}{2+1}=\frac{2+22}{3}=\frac{24}{3}=8$

∴ The y-coordinate of the point of division is 8

∴ The point of division is (5 , 8)
