Answer:

20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that (1 job) = (rate)(time), so time = (1 job) / (rate).

Set up and solve the following equation:

  1 job

------------------------------- = time required for 2 pumps working together

1 job         1 job

---------- + -------------

4 days      10 days

This comes out to:

              1 job

------------------------------------------- = time required

10 job-days      4 job-days

------------------ + -----------------

   40 days           40 days

or:

    1 job

-------------------- = (40/14) days, or 20/7 days (just less than 3 days)

14 job·days

-----------------

   40 days

Find an explicit solution of the given initial-value problem. (1 + x4) dy + x(1 + 4y2) dx = 0, y(1) = 0
MissTica

Answer:

a solution is 1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) = - tan⁻¹ (x²) + π/4

Step-by-step explanation:

for the equation

(1 + x⁴) dy + x*(1 + 4y²) dx = 0

(1 + x⁴) dy  = - x*(1 + 4y²) dx

[1/(1 + 4y²)] dy = [-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx

∫[1/(1 + 4y²)] dy = ∫[-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx

now to solve each integral

I₁= ∫[1/(1 + 4y²)] dy = 1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) + C₁

I₂=  ∫[-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx

for u= x² → du=x*dx

I₂=  ∫[-x/(1 + x⁴)] dx = -∫[1/(1 + u² )] du = - tan⁻¹ (u) +C₂ =  - tan⁻¹ (x²) +C₂

then

1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) = - tan⁻¹ (x²) +C

for y(x=1) = 0

1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*0) = - tan⁻¹ (1²) +C

since tan⁻¹ (1²) for π/4+ π*N and tan⁻¹ (0) for  π*N , we will choose for simplicity N=0 . hen an explicit solution would be

1/2 * 0 = - π/4 + C

C= π/4

therefore

1/2 *tan⁻¹ (2*y) = - tan⁻¹ (x²) + π/4

What time is 5 3/4 hours after 11:32 PM
Viktor [21]

Answer:

So the time is 5:17 a.m.

Explanation:

Note that:

11:32 pm is 28 minutes before midnight.

Adding the 534 hours will take the time into early morning.

So all we need to do to find the new time (am) is to subtract 28 minutes from 534 hours.

534→5 hours and 45 minutes

Subtracting the minutes:

45

28−− ← Subtract

17

So the time is 5:17 a.m.
