Answer:

$Side_2 = 17\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Trapezoid

$Area = 243cm^2$

$Height = 18cm$

$Side_1 = 10cm$

Required

Determine the length of the second parallel side

The area of a trapezoid is:

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(Side_1 + Side_2) * Height$

Substitute values for Area, Height and Side1

$243 = \frac{1}{2}(10 + Side_2) * 18$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 243 = 2 * \frac{1}{2}(10 + Side_2) * 18$

$486 = (10 + Side_2) * 18$

Divide both sides by 18

$27 = 10 + Side_2$

$Side_2 = 27 - 10$

$Side_2 = 17\ cm$

Hence;

<em>The length of the second parallel side is 17cm</em>

What is 8 and 4/25 and as a mixed fraction or mixed number.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Improper fraction for 8 4/25 is 204/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in the mixed fraction are defined as follow

8 = whole number

4 = numerator

25 = denominator

Multiply the whole number by the denominator

8 × 25 = 200

Add the product from Step 1 to the numerator

200 + 4 = 204

Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator

204/25

The mixed number 8 4/25 converted to improper fraction is therefore :

Solve y'' + 10y' + 25y = 0, y(0) = -2, y'(0) = 11 y(t) = Preview

Answer: The required solution is

$y=(-2+t)e^{-5t}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following differential equation :

$y^{\prime\prime}+10y^\prime+25y=0,~~~~~~~y(0)=-2,~~y^\prime(0)=11~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Let us consider that

$y=e^{mt}$ be an auxiliary solution of equation (i).

Then, we have

$y^prime=me^{mt},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mt}.$

Substituting these values in equation (i), we get

$m^2e^{mt}+10me^{mt}+25e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2+10y+25)e^{mt}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2+10m+25=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mt}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2+2\times m\times5+5^2=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m+5)^2=0\\\\\Rightarrow m=-5,-5.$

So, the general solution of the given equation is

$y(t)=(A+Bt)e^{-5t}.$

Differentiating with respect to t, we get

$y^\prime(t)=-5e^{-5t}(A+Bt)+Be^{-5t}.$

According to the given conditions, we have

$y(0)=-2\\\\\Rightarrow A=-2$

and

$y^\prime(0)=11\\\\\Rightarrow -5(A+B\times0)+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow -5A+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow (-5)\times(-2)+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow 10+B=11\\\\\Rightarrow B=11-10\\\\\Rightarrow B=1.$

Thus, the required solution is

$y(t)=(-2+1\times t)e^{-5t}\\\\\Rightarrow y(t)=(-2+t)e^{-5t}.$

Find the indefinite integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.)

mart [117]

Answer:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (x^3-x^2+x)^8+C$

tep-by-step explanation:

In order to find the integral:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx$

we can do the following substitution:

Let's call

$u=(x^3-x^2+x)$

Then

$du = (3x^2-2x+1) dx$

which allows us to do convert the original integral into a much simpler one of easy solution:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \int\ {u^7 \, du = \frac{1}{8} \,u^8 +C$

Therefore, our integral written in terms of "x" would be:

$\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (x^3-x^2+x)^8+C$
