It will take the snail 9.6 minutes to travel 24cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered in 4 minutes = 10 cm

Ratio of distance to time = 10:4

New distance = 24cm

Let,

x be the time period

Ratio of new distance to time = 24:x

Using proportions;

Ratio of distance to time :: Ratio of new distance to time

$10:4::24:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$24*4=10*x\\96=10x\\10x=96$

Dividing both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{96}{10}\\x=9.6\ minutes$

It will take the snail 9.6 minutes to travel 24cm.

What 2 numbers divide to get 375 while multiplying to equal 38.4?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Well, 375 is a composite number.

Prime factorization: 375 = 3 x 5 x 5 x 5, which can be written 375 = 3 x (5^3)

The exponents in the prime factorization are 1 and 3.

Factors of 375: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75, 125, 375.

Factor pairs: 375 = 1 x 375, 3 x 125, 5 x 75, or 15 x 25. Good Luck!

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 16, 10, 64

Step-by-step explanation:

64/4=16, so the 3rd number is 4x the first.

16-6=10. 6 less than the first number.

16+10+64=90.

$\underbrace{35x^4y+14x^5y-2y^3-4xy^3}_M\,\mathrm dx+\underbrace{7x^5-6xy^2}_N\,\mathrm dy=0$

$M_y=35x^4+14x^5-6y^2-12xy^2$
$N_x=35x^4-6y^2$

$\dfrac{N_x-M_y}N=\dfrac{-14x^5+12xy^2}{7x^5-6xy^2}=-2$

This suggests an integrating factor depending on $x$ only is possible, and given by

$\mu(x)=\exp\left(-\displaystyle\int\frac{N_x-M_y}N\,\mathrm dx\right)=e^{2x}$

Distributing across the ODE, we end up with

$\underbrace{(35x^4y+14x^5y-2y^3-4xy^3)e^{2x}}_{M^*}\,\mathrm dx+\underbrace{(7x^5-6xy^2)e^{2x}}_{N^*}\,\mathrm dy=0$

The equation is now exact, with

${M^*}_y={N^*}_x=(35x^4+14x^5-6y^2-12xy^2)e^{2x}$

Now we find the solution:

$F_x=M^*$
$F=\displaystyle\int(35x^4+14x^5-2y^3-4xy^3)e^{2x}\,\mathrm dx$
$F=(7x^5y-2xy^3)e^{2x}+f(y)$

$F_y=N^*$
$(7x^5-6xy^2)e^{2x}+f'(y)=(7x^5-6xy^2)e^{2x}$
$f'(y)=0$
$\implies f(y)=C$

The general solution is then

$F(x,y)=(7x^5y-2xy^3)e^{2x}=C$
