Answer:

Length is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with area of rectangle

Area = L * W

Also it was stated that L = W+3 (3 inches more than the width)

Substitute W+3 in place of L

Area = (W+3)*W

40 = W^2+ 3W

Move everything to one side of the equation yields

W^2 + 3W -40 = 0

By factoring

(W+8)*(W-5) which would yield results of W = -8 or 5. Since we are looking for positive values (width of a rectangle) we would get W = 5 inches.

Using the information from above L = W + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8 inches.

Checking

L*W is area of rectangle. 8 * 5 = 40 which was the stated area (in^2) in the given information.

1) The domain is all the possible x values in the function so it would be [-4,4]

2) There are only 3 zeros shown on the graph and they are (-2, 0) (0, 0) (2, 0) the zeros are the value of x when y = 0.

3)The function is positive/Negative is asking for what x values make the y values positive aka interval notation. The function is positive if x = (0, 2) because 0 and 2 aren't included you use parentheses () instead of brackets []

The function is negative if x [-4, -2), (-2,0), (2,4]

Find the general solution of the differential equation and check the result by differentiation. (Use C for the constant of integ

atroni [7]

Answer: $y=Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Beginning with the first differential equation:

$\frac{dy}{dt} =27t^8y$

This differential equation is denoted as a separable differential equation due to us having the ability to separate the variables. Divide both sides by 'y' to get:

$\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dt} =27t^8$

Multiply both sides by 'dt' to get:

$\frac{1}{y}dy =27t^8dt$

Integrate both sides. Both sides will produce an integration constant, but I will merge them together into a single integration constant on the right side:

$\int\limits {\frac{1}{y} } \, dy=\int\limits {27t^8} \, dt$

$ln(y)=27(\frac{1}{9} t^9)+C$

$ln(y)=3t^9+C$

We want to cancel the natural log in order to isolate our function 'y'. We can do this by using 'e' since it is the inverse of the natural log:

$e^l^n^(^y^)=e^(^3^t^{^9} ^+^C^)$

$y=e^(^3^t^{^9} ^+^C^)$

We can take out the 'C' of the exponential using a rule of exponents. Addition in an exponent can be broken up into a product of their bases:

$y=e^(^3^t^{^9}^)e^C$

The term e^C is just another constant, so with impunity, I can absorb everything into a single constant:

$y=Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)$

To check the answer by differentiation, you require the chain rule. Differentiating an exponential gives back the exponential, but you must multiply by the derivative of the inside. We get:

$\frac{d}{dx} (y)=\frac{d}{dx}(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))$

$\frac{dy}{dx} =(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))*\frac{d}{dx}(3t^9)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} =(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))*27t^8$

Now check if the derivative equals the right side of the original differential equation:

$(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))*27t^8=27t^8*y(t)$

$Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)*27t^8=27t^8*Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)$

QED

I unfortunately do not have enough room for your second question. It is the exact same type of differential equation as the one solved above. The only difference is the fractional exponent, which would make the problem slightly more involved. If you ask your second question again on a different problem, I'd be glad to help you solve it.

Solve for x: (5 points) -6/5x - 4 = -46

Alecsey [184]

Answer:x5

Step-by-step explanation:Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

x=5
