carrie is making a bed skirt for her twin beds. one side of a mattress measures 39 inches, and another side measures 75 inches.

how many feet of fabric will carrie need to make skirts for both beds?

Answer: 38 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The beds have the same dimensions.

Then, to find the number of feet of fabric that Carrie will need to make skirts for both beds, you need to calculate the perimeter of one of them and multiply it by 2. After this, you can make the conversion from inches to feet.

The perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated with this formula:

$P=2l+2w$

Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

You know that the dimensions of each bed are:

$l=75in\\w=39in$

Then you can substitute these values into the formula:

$P=2(75in)+2(39in)\\P=228in$

Therefore, the number of inches of fabric that Carrie will need to make skirts for both beds is:

$P_{total}=2*228in=456in$

Make the conversion from inches to feet. Then, 456 inches to feet is:

$(456in)(\frac{1ft}{12in})=38ft$

3y''-6y'+6y=e*x sexcx

Simora [160]

From the homogeneous part of the ODE, we can get two fundamental solutions. The characteristic equation is

$3r^2-6r+6=0\iff r^2-2r+2=0$

which has roots at $r=1\pm i$ . This admits the two fundamental solutions

$y_1=e^x\cos x$
$y_2=e^x\sin x$

The particular solution is easiest to obtain via variation of parameters. We're looking for a solution of the form

$y_p=u_1y_1+u_2y_2$

where

$u_1=-\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{y_2e^x\sec x}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dx$
$u_2=\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{y_1e^x\sec x}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dx$

and $W(y_1,y_2)$ is the Wronskian of the fundamental solutions. We have

$W(e^x\cos x,e^x\sin x)=\begin{vmatrix}e^x\cos x&e^x\sin x\\e^x(\cos x-\sin x)&e^x(\cos x+\sin x)\end{vmatrix}=e^{2x}$

and so

$u_1=-\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{e^{2x}\sin x\sec x}{e^{2x}}\,\mathrm dx=-\int\tan x\,\mathrm dx$
$u_1=\dfrac13\ln|\cos x|$

$u_2=\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{e^{2x}\cos x\sec x}{e^{2x}}\,\mathrm dx=\int\mathrm dx$
$u_2=\dfrac13x$

Therefore the particular solution is

$y_p=\dfrac13e^x\cos x\ln|\cos x|+\dfrac13xe^x\sin x$

so that the general solution to the ODE is

$y=C_1e^x\cos x+C_2e^x\sin x+\dfrac13e^x\cos x\ln|\cos x|+\dfrac13xe^x\sin x$

Why is the product of 9s diagonal?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

A. With each 9s fact you add another 9, which means you go straight down a row and back one space. This creates a diagonal pattern in the grid.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference in distance

= 15 - 12

= 3 mi

time taken

= 30 mins

= 1/2 hour

Speed

= 3 ÷ 1/2

= 6 mph

The area of a rectangle is represented by the polynomial x^2+3x-6x-18. What are the length, width, and area of the rectangle if

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Length = 15

Width = 6

Area = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = ${x}^{2} + 3x - 6x - 18$

Lets factorise the polynomial

$= > x(x + 3) - 6(x + 3)$

$= > (x + 3)(x - 6)$

We know that Area = Length × Width

Let the length be (x + 3) & width be (x - 6)

Its given in the question that x = 12. So putting the value of x gives ,

Length = $x + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15$

Width = $x - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6$

Area = Length × Width = 15 × 6 = 90
