Let's suppose we want to solve y'=y with y(0)=2. Separating variables and integrating, we get

\displaystyle\int\dfrac{\mathrm dy}y=\int\mathrm dx\implies\ln|y|=x+C\implies y=e^{x+C}

Leaving the solution in this form, the initial condition gives

2=e^{0+C}=e^C\implies C=\ln2

This means the solution is y=e^{x+\ln2}.

Now if we were to write y=e^{x+C}=e^xe^C=Ce^x, then we would have found

2=Ce^0\implies C=2

so that the solution would have been y=2e^x.

But these two solutions are the same, since y=e^{x+\ln2}=e^xe^{\ln2}=2e^x. So we get the same solution regardless of where we place C, despite getting different values for C.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Statement: AB=CD, BC=AD

Reason: By definition of parallelogram .

Statement: AC=AC

Reason: Reflexive property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Statement: \angle ABC\cong \angle BCD,\angle BAD\cong \angle ADC.

Reason: For parallel lines cut by a transversal , corresponding angles are congruent.

2.Statement:AB=CD,BC=AD

Reason: By definition of parallelogram.

3.Statement: AC=AC

Reason: Reflexive property of equality.

4.Statement: \triangle ABC\cong \triangle CDA.

Reason: SSS criterion for congruence.

5.Statement:AB\cong CD, BC\cong AD.

Reason: Given .

6.Statement: AB\parallel CD, BC\parallel AD.

Reason: By definition of parallelogram.

7.Statement: \angle BAC\cong \angle ACD.

The printer sent out 150 newspapers one day. How many boxes would there be if they were packed in tens
irga5000 [103]
To solve this problem, you would divide the total number of newspapers by the amount of newspapers per box, in order to find the number of boxes.

150/10=15.

There would be 15 boxes.
