A 37 foot board must be cut into two parts. The longer part is one foot larger than the twice the shorter part. How long is each

part.

Answer:

12 ft and 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a part is x ft and the other is (2x+1) ft

so 37= x + 2x+1

37= 3x+1

-1 -1

36= 3x

:3 :3

x= 36:3

I= x= 12 ft

II= 2x+1=2*12+1=25 ft

Write the standard equation for the hyperbola with the following conditions: vertices: (-2, -3) and (6, -3) foci: (-4, -3) and (

STALIN [3.7K]

Hello,

Vertices are on a line parallele at ox (y=-3)

The hyperbola is horizontal.

Equation is (x-h)²/a²- (y-k)²/b²=1

Center =middle of the vertices=((-2+6)/2,-3)=(2,-3)
(h+a,k) = (6,-3)
(h-a,k)=(-2,-3)
==>k=-3 and 2h=4 ==>h=2
==>a=6-h=6-2=4 (semi-transverse axis)

Foci: (h+c,k) ,(h-c,k)
h=2 ==>c=8-2=6

c²=a²+b²==>b²=36-4²=20

Equation is:
$\boxed{ \dfrac{(x-2)^2}{16} - \dfrac{(y+3)^2}{20} =1}

In a bag of sweets, 6 are orange and 9 are lime. Jodi chooses a sweet at random, eats it an

Digiron [165]

Answer: $\frac{17}{35}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The bag contains 6 orange and 9 lime sweets

For both sweets of the same flavor, Jodi must either choose orange or lime

No. of ways it can be done is $^6C_1\times^5C_1+^9C_1\times^8C_1$

The total no of ways of selecting two sweets out of 15 is $^{15}C_1\times^{14}C_1$

The probability that both sweets are the same flavor

$P=\dfrac{^6C_1\times^5C_1+^9C_1\times^8C_1}{^{15}C_1\times^{14}C_1}=\frac{102}{210}=\frac{51}{105}=\frac{17}{35}$

The scale of a room in blueprint is 3in 5ft. A wall in the same blueprint is 18in. what are the actual room measurements?

QveST [7]

Answer:

Actual length of wall = 30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have scale of a room as 3 inch for 5ft.

We can write scaling factor as:

Scaling factor = 3 /60 (Since 5ft = 60 inches )

Scaling factor = 1/20

Now,

a wall in the blueprint is 18inch.

So actual length of wall can be determined by dividing 18 inch by the scale factor.

i.e actual length of wall = 18 / scale factor = 18 / (1/20)

actual length of wall = 18* 20 = 360 inch = 30ft (Since 360 inch = 30ft)

Hence Actual length of wall = 30ft

Use the method of reduction of order to find a second independent solution of the given differential equation. t2y'' + 3ty' + y

Charra [1.4K]

I assume you mean $y_1=t^{-1}$ , and not $y_1=t-1$ , since this doesn't satisfy the ODE.

Assume a second solution of the form $y_2=vy_1$ , where $v$ is a function of $t$ . Then

${y_2}'=v'y_1+v{y_1}'$

${y_2}''=v''y_1+2v'{y_1}'+v{y_1}''$

Substituting into the ODE gives

$t^2\left(\dfrac{v''}t-\dfrac{2v'}{t^2}+\dfrac{2v}{t^3}\right)+3t\left(\dfrac{v'}t-\dfrac v{t^2}\right)+\dfrac vt=0$

$\implies tv''+v'=0$

$\implies(tv')'=0$

$\implies tv'=C$

$\implies v'=\dfrac Ct$

$\implies v=C_1\ln|t|+C_2$

$\implies y_2=\dfrac{\ln t}t$

where we omit the second term because it's already accounted for by $y_1$ .
