Answer:

Each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average number of whisker of each cat.

We have been given that there are 7 cats in my neighborhood, with an average of 41 whiskers each.

The total number of whiskers of six cats would be $6x$ .

Since one of the cats has 17 whiskers, so the total number of whiskers of 7 cats would be $6x+17$

We will use average formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of data points}}{\text{Number of data points}}$

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

$41=\frac{6x+17}{7}$

Let us solve for x.

$41*7=\frac{6x+17}{7}*7$

$287=6x+17$

$287-17=6x+17-17$

$270=6x$

Switch sides:

$6x=270$

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{270}{6}$

$x=45$

Therefore, the each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

Why is the answer to this integral's denominator have 1+pi^2

ss7ja [257]

It comes from integrating by parts twice. Let

$I = \displaystyle \int e^n \sin(\pi n) \, dn$

Recall the IBP formula,

$\displaystyle \int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$

Let

$u = \sin(\pi n) \implies du = \pi \cos(\pi n) \, dn$

$dv = e^n \, dn \implies v = e^n$

Then

$\displaystyle I = e^n \sin(\pi n) - \pi \int e^n \cos(\pi n) \, dn$

Apply IBP once more, with

$u = \cos(\pi n) \implies du = -\pi \sin(\pi n) \, dn$

$dv = e^n \, dn \implies v = e^n$

Notice that the ∫ v du term contains the original integral, so that

$\displaystyle I = e^n \sin(\pi n) - \pi \left(e^n \cos(\pi n) + \pi \int e^n \sin(\pi n) \, dn\right)$

$\displaystyle I = \left(\sin(\pi n) - \pi \cos(\pi n)\right) e^n - \pi^2 I$

$\displaystyle (1 + \pi^2) I = \left(\sin(\pi n) - \pi \cos(\pi n)\right) e^n$

$\implies \displaystyle I = \frac{\left(\sin(\pi n) - \pi \cos(\pi n)\right) e^n}{1+\pi^2} + C$

Find x in this proportion.<br> 5/2x=25/4<br> x=__?<br> 2/5<br> 5/2<br> 4/5<br> 8/5

8_murik_8 [283]

Correct answer is A.

$\frac{5}{2x} = \frac{25}{4} 
\\
\\2x\times 25=5\times 4
\\50x=20
\\
\\x= \frac{20}{50}= \frac{2}{5}$

Help with the following problem please

Effectus [21]

Given:
The largest circle has a radius of R=7 units.
Let x be the radius of the large shaded circle.
The small shaded circles have a radius of 1/5 of the large shaded circle.
=> the small shaded circles have a radius of r=x/5

By adding up radii, we have the equation
2(r+x+r)=2(x/5+x+x/5)=2R=2*7=14
Simplify:
7x/5=14/2
x=5
=> r=1

Area of outer circle = $\pi R^2=\pi7^2=49\pi$
Area of large shaded circle = $\pi x^2=\pi5^2=25\pi$
Area of 4 small shaded circles = $4\pi r^2=4\pi1^2=4\pi$
Total area of shaded circles = $25\pi+4\pi=29\pi$

Shaded area as a fraction of that of the outer circle
$=\frac{29\pi}{49\pi}=29/49$
