We need to start by making it into an improper fraction

14 2/5 = 72/5 then divide it by 8

72 1 72
--- × --- = -----
5 8 40

then simplify

9/5 is your answer

Problem 4: Solve the initial value problem

pishuonlain [190]

Separate the variables:

$y' = \dfrac{dy}{dx} = (y+1)(y-2) \implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} \, dy = dx$

Separate the left side into partial fractions. We want coefficients a and b such that

$\dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac a{y+1} + \dfrac b{y-2}$

$\implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac{a(y-2)+b(y+1)}{(y+1)(y-2)}$

$\implies 1 = a(y-2)+b(y+1)$

$\implies 1 = (a+b)y - 2a+b$

$\implies \begin{cases}a+b=0\\-2a+b=1\end{cases} \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ and } b = \dfrac13$

So we have

$\dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = dx$

Integrating both sides yields

$\displaystyle \int \dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = \int dx$

$\dfrac13 \left(\ln|y-2| - \ln|y+1|\right) = x + C$

$\dfrac13 \ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = x + C$

$\ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = 3x + C$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = e^{3x + C}$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = Ce^{3x}$

With the initial condition y(0) = 1, we find

$\dfrac{1-2}{1+1} = Ce^{0} \implies C = -\dfrac12$

so that the particular solution is

$\boxed{\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}}$

It's not too hard to solve explicitly for y; notice that

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = \dfrac{(y+1)-3}{y+1} = 1-\dfrac3{y+1}$

Then

$1 - \dfrac3{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac3{y+1} = 1 + \dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac{y+1}3 = \dfrac1{1+\frac12 e^{3x}} = \dfrac2{2+e^{3x}}$

$y+1 = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}}$

$y = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}} - 1$

$\boxed{y = \dfrac{4-e^{3x}}{2+e^{3x}}}$

If y varies inversely as x and y = 4 when x = 12, find the constant of variation

X is not equal to the answer so y is incorrect

A colored chip is yellow on one side and red on the other. The chip was flipped 50 times and landed red side facing up 21 times.

faust18 [17]

42%

You have essentially a fraction, 21/50, which gives you a decimal of 0.42, or 42%.

(Flipped a total of 50 times, of those, it landed red side up 21 times, so 21/50)
