Answer:

y =-2/-4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-4y=20

Isolate y

2x - 4y =20

-2x -2x

-4y= -2x +20

Divide all sides by -4

(-4y= -2x +20) /-4

y= -2/-4x + 5

2x -4y=20
-4y=-2x+20
Y= 1/2x - 5 that’s the answer

How many ways are there to elect a president, vice-president, and a treasurer from a club of 8 students?

Klio2033 [76]

First the number of ways of selecting 3 students out of 8 is 8*7*6/(3*2*1)=56.
There are 6 ways of arranging the officers, so the total number of ways is 6*56=336

—————

Solve the initial value problem:

dy
——— = 2xy², y = 2, when x = – 1.
dx

Separate the variables in the equation above:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{dy}{y^2}=2x\,dx}\\\\
\mathsf{y^{-2}\,dy=2x\,dx}$

Integrate both sides:

$\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\!y^{-2}\,dy=\int\!2x\,dx}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{y^{-2+1}}{-2+1}=2\cdot \dfrac{x^{1+1}}{1+1}+C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{y^{-1}}{-1}=\diagup\hspace{-7}2\cdot \dfrac{x^2}{\diagup\hspace{-7}2}+C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{y}=x^2+C_1}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{y}=-(x^2+C_1)}$

Take the reciprocal of both sides, and then you have

$\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{1}{x^2+C_1}\qquad\qquad where~C_1~is~a~constant\qquad (i)}$

In order to find the value of C₁ , just plug in the equation above those known values for x and y, then solve it for C₁:

y = 2, when x = – 1. So,

$\mathsf{2=-\,\dfrac{1}{1^2+C_1}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{2=-\,\dfrac{1}{1+C_1}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{2}=1+C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{2}-1=C_1}\\\\\\
\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{2}{2}=C_1}$

$\mathsf{C_1=-\,\dfrac{3}{2}}$

Substitute that for C₁ into (i), and you have

$\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{1}{x^2-\frac{3}{2}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{1}{x^2-\frac{3}{2}}\cdot \dfrac{2}{2}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y=-\,\dfrac{2}{2x^2-3}}$

So y(– 2) is

$\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{2\cdot (-2)^2-3}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{2\cdot 4-3}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{8-3}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{y\big|_{x=-2}=-\,\dfrac{2}{5}}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{this is the answer.}$

I hope this helps. =)
