so, three bags can be filled and 0.33 or 0.33*(1/3) =11/100 nails will be left

Step-by-step explanation:

We will get the number of bags that can be filled from 5/12 by dividing the total amount by the 1/8

Given

Total nails in bag = 5/12 pounds

The capacity of small bag = 1/8 pounds

So,

$Number\ of\ bags = \frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\Simplifying\\=\frac{5}{12}*\frac{8}{1}\\=\frac{40}{12}\\=3.33\ bags$

so, three bags can be filled and 0.33*(1/3) = 11/100 nails will be left

Answer:

$\frac{s^2-25}{(s^2+25)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the definition of the Laplace transform and the identity given: $\mathcal{L}[t \cos 5t]=(-1)F'(s)$ with $F(s)=\mathcal{L}[\cos 5t]$ .

Now, $F(s)=\int_0 ^{+ \infty}e^{-st}\cos(5t) dt$ . Using integration by parts with u=e^(-st) and dv=cos(5t), we obtain that $F(s)=\frac{1}{5}\sin(5t)e^{-st} |_{0}^{+\infty}+\frac{s}{5}\int_0 ^{+ \infty}e^{-st}\sin(5t) dt=\int_0 ^{+ \infty}e^{-st}\sin(5t) dt$ .

Using integration by parts again with u=e^(-st) and dv=sin(5t), we obtain that

$F(s)=\frac{s}{5}(\frac{-1}{5}\cos(5t)e^{-st} |_{0}^{+\infty}-\frac{s}{5}\int_0 ^{+ \infty}e^{-st}\sin(5t) dt)=\frac{s}{5}(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{s}{5}\int_0^{+ \infty}e^{-st}\sin(5t) dt)=\frac{s}{5}-\frac{s^2}{25}F(s)$ .

Solving for F(s) on the last equation, $F(s)=\frac{s}{s^2+25}$ , then the Laplace transform we were searching is $-F'(s)=\frac{s^2-25}{(s^2+25)^2}$

Every prime number greater than 10 has a digit in the ones place that is include in wich set of numbers A- 1,3,7,9 B-1,3,5,9 D-1

marta [7]

That's very interesting. I had never thought about it before.
Let's look through all of the ten possible digits in that place,
and see what we can tell:

-- 0:
   A number greater than 10 with a 0 in the units place is a multiple of
   either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.

-- 1:
    A number greater than 10 with a 1 in the units place could be
    a prime (11, 31 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (21, 51).

-- 2:
   A number greater than 10 with a 2 in the units place has 2 as a factor
   (it's an even number), so it's not a prime number.

-- 3:
   A number greater than 10 with a 3 in the units place could be
   a prime (13, 23 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (33, 63) .

-- 4:
   A number greater than 10 with a 4 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 5:
   A number greater than 10 with a 5 in the units place is a multiple
   of either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.

-- 6:
   A number greater than 10 with a 6 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 7:
   A number greater than 10 with a 7 in the units place could be
   a prime (17, 37 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (27, 57) .

-- 8:
   A number greater than 10 with a 8 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 9:
   A number greater than 10 with a 9 in the units place could be
   a prime (19, 29 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (39, 69) .

So a number greater than 10 that IS a prime number COULD have
any of the digits 1, 3, 7, or 9 in its units place.

It CAN't have a 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, or 8 .

The only choice that includes all of the possibilities is 'A' .
