Answer:

y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

<u>To find the value of y</u>

we have,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5)

(y + 4) = 5(y - 5) [dividing both sides by 3]

y + 4 = 5y - 25

5y - 25 = y + 4

5y - y = 4 + 25

4y = 29

y = 29/4

Therefore the value of y = 29/4

Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°. find the measures of two complementary angles if

maxonik [38]

If one angle is 8 times bigger than the other, the bigger angle's measure would be 8x and the smaller angle's measure would be x. 8x+x=90. This simplifies to 9x=90. To find x, you divide 9 from 90, making x=10. This means the smaller angle (Angle 2) is 10° and the bigger angle's (Angle 1) is 8 times 10, so it is 80°.

I gather you're supposed to compute the integral of $G(x,y,z)=z$ over a surface $S$ that is the part of the parabolic cylinder $y=z^2$ with $0\le x\le2$ and $0\le z\le\frac{\sqrt{15}}2$ .
