In this question, you have to form the equation given the formula of the volume : L x W x D
L = W+5
W = W
D = W-1

(W+5)(W)(W-1) = 20
(W^2+5W)(W-1) = 20
W^3+4W^2-5W-20 = 0

Get the roots by factoring it out.
<span>(w +4) *(w +2.236) *(w -2.236)
</span>
So the roots are: -4, -2.236, 2.236.
Since we're talking about dimensions, let's use the positive root..

L = 7.24
W = 2.24
D = 1.24

Find the solution of the problem (1 3. (2 cos x - y sin x)dx + (cos x + sin y)dy=0.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)=C_1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

P(x,y)=2*cos(x)-y*sin(x)

Q(x,y)=cos(x)+sin(y)

This is an exact differential equation because:

\frac{\partial P(x,y)}{\partial y} =-sin(x)

\frac{\partial Q(x,y)}{\partial x}=-sin(x)

With this in mind let's define f(x,y) such that:

\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x}=P(x,y)

and

\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=Q(x,y)

So, the solution will be given by f(x,y)=C1, C1=arbitrary constant

Now, integrate \frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x} with respect to x in order to find f(x,y)

f(x,y)=\int\  2*cos(x)-y*sin(x)\, dx =2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)+g(y)

where g(y) is an arbitrary function of y

Let's differentiate f(x,y) with respect to y in order to find g(y):

\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial }{\partial y} (2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)+g(y))=cos(x)+\frac{dg(y)}{dy}

Now, let's replace the previous result into \frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=Q(x,y) :

cos(x)+\frac{dg(y)}{dy}=cos(x)+sin(y)

Solving for \frac{dg(y)}{dy}

\frac{dg(y)}{dy}=sin(y)

Integrating both sides with respect to y:

g(y)=\int\ sin(y)  \, dy =-cos(y)

Replacing this result into f(x,y)

f(x,y)=2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)

Finally the solution is f(x,y)=C1 :

2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)=C_1

Write the expression as the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

tan56°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Addition identity for tangent ratio is

tan(x + y) = \frac{tanx+tany}{1-tanxtany} , thus

\frac{tan24+tan32}{1-tan24tan32} = tan(24 + 32)° = tan56°

Please help me!!!!!! I really neeeeeeed
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

A-(x+4,y-5)

B- move 1 unit left and 7 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

A- 4 units right is x so

(x+4,y__)

5 units down is y so

(x+4,y-5)

B- move 1 unit left and 7 units down

because (x-1,y__) is going left because of the subtraction sign and its the x-coordinate, and (x-1,y-7) is down because its a Y-coordinate and sub so its going down.

<h2><u>TIP- Going left/down is always subtract/negative going right/up is positive/addition.</u></h2>

And insurance agent receives 15% of the cost of each insurance policy she sells how much does the agent receive for a policy ths
hammer [34]

In this question there are several important information's provided. Using these information's it is easy to get the answer to the question asked. Firstly it is already informed that the insurance agent gets a commission of 15% of the policy price for every policy sold. The agent sells a policy of $300.

Now we can write the equation as:

15% of $300 = [(15/100) * 300] dollars

                    = ( 15 * 3) dollars

                    = 45 dollars

So the agent gets a commission of $45 for selling a policy worth $300
