Answer:

$-11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be "x"

So,

Sum of the number and 5 is DOUBLED, the result would be ONE LESS THAN number, so we can write:

(x + 5)*2 = x - 1

See how we took the sum, added parenthesis and then DOUBLED it (LHS). And RHS is 1 less than number (x). Now we simply use distributive property [ a(b+c) = ab + ac ] to simplify and solve for x, the number. Shown below:

$(x + 5)*2 = x - 1\\2x+10=x-1\\2x-x=-1-10\\x=-11$

Thus,

the number is -11

A point at (4,6) is reflected across the x-axis.What is the y-coordinate of the reflected point?

iren [92.7K]

I believe the ansr would be (-6,-4) I say this becuase if it's positive on the y axis the X axis will be negative and if it's being reflected the coordinates will be backwards. If this answer is wrong I'm truly sorry, but I hope this helps!

In a collection of toys, 1/2 are red, 1/2 are waterproof, and 1/3 are cool. 1/4 are red and waterproof. 1/6 are red and cool. 1/

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

only red = 1/12, only water proof = 1/12 , only cool = nil we assume nil for toys with three collections( cool, red, waterproof) as it was not stated.

11/6 are neither red, water proof and cool.

Step-by-step explanation:

outside the circles contain probability of neither red, cool and water proof. where the circles intersect shows probability of both either red and cool, water proof and cool and water proof and red etc. where all the circles intersect if for the three combinations which is nill.

In this problem,y = 1/(x2 + c)is a one-parameter family of solutions of the first-order DEy' + 2xy2 = 0.Find a solution of the f

trasher [3.6K]

Differentiate the given solution:

$y=\dfrac1{x^2+C}\implies y'=-\dfrac{2x}{(x^2+C)^2}$

Substitute $y$ and $y'$ into the ODE:

$-\dfrac{2x}{(x^2+C)^2}+2x\left(\dfrac1{x^2+C}\right)^2=0$

and it's easy to see the left side indeed reduces to 0.

Evaluate the line integral c y3 ds,<br> c.x = t3, y = t, 0 â‰¤ t â‰¤ 3

Temka [501]

$\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}y^3\,\mathrm dS=\int_{t=0}^{t=3}t^3\sqrt{1^2+(3t^2)^2}\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^3t^3\sqrt{1+9t^4}\,\mathrm dt$

Take $u=1+9t^4$ so that $\mathrm du=36t^3\,\mathrm dt$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}y^3\,\mathrm dS=\frac1{36}\int_{u=1}^{u=730}\sqrt u\,\mathrm du=\frac{730^{3/2}-1}{54}$
