If one cat eats 1/4 of a tin per day then two cats eat 1/2 of a tin per day.

We have 9 tins so if each day cats eat 1/2 we have to divide 9 with 1/2 and we get 18 which is for how many days she can feed the cats until she runs out of food.

Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sally has 2 cats that each eat 1/4 of a tin of food each day, that means that the cats are eating 1/2 tin each day.

If the cats eat 1/2 each day, that means 1 can will last the cats 2 days.

If Sally buys 9 cans, that means she will cat food for 18 days.

1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2

1/2 per day = 1 tin every 2 days

9 tins x 2 days = 18 total days of food

The non separable differential equation dy dx = 8x − 2y has a linear particular solution of the form y = mx + b. Find m + b.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

$m + b=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The non separable differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = 8x - 2y$

Generally the chi form of a give equation is mathematically represented as

$\frac{dy}{dx} +P(x)y= q(x)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = 8x$

$ye^2^x=\int e^2^.8xdxx$

$ye^2^x=8(\frac{xe^2^x}{2}-\frac{\int e^2^x}{2})$

$ye^2^x=8(\frac{xe^2^x}{2}-\frac{e^2^x}{1})+c\\$

$ye^2^x=4x^2^x-2e^2^x+c$

$y=4x-2+c$

for c=0

$y=4x-2$

Therefore

$m=4\\b=-2\\m + b=4-(+2)$

$m + b=2$
