Slope: rise over run, for any straight line. Example: y=mx + b

Constant of proportionality: a constant by which you multiply your independent variable (x) to get a specific value of the dependent variable (y). Example: y=kx.

The main difference here is that y=mx+b may or may not pass through the origin, whereas y=kx always passes through the origin.

Both k and m are "slopes," with k pertaining to direct variation y=kx, and m pertaining to slope of a line which may or may not pass through the origin.

In this limited sense, both k and x are slopes. k could be the slope of a straight line passing thru the origin, same as m, but m could not be the constant of proportionality if the line in question does not pass through the origin.

Answer:

$2000 was invested at 5% and $5000 was invested at 8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the interest is simple interest.

<u>Simple Interest Formula</u>

I = Prt

where:

I = interest earned.
P = principal invested.
r = interest rate (in decimal form).
t = time (in years).

Given:

Total P = $7000
P₁ = principal invested at 5%
P₂ = principal invested at 8%
Total interest = $500
r₁ = 5% = 0.05
r₂ = 8% = 0.08
t = 1 year

Create two equations from the given information:

$\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad \sf P_1+P_2=7000$

$\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad \sf P_1r_1t+P_2r_2t=I\implies 0.05P_1+0.08P_2=500$

Rewrite Equation 1 to make P₁ the subject:

$\implies \sf P_1=7000-P_2$

Substitute this into Equation 2 and solve for P₂:

$\implies \sf 0.05(7000-P_2)+0.08P_2=500$

$\implies \sf 350-0.05P_2+0.08P_2=500$

$\implies \sf 0.03P_2=150$

$\implies \sf P_2=\dfrac{150}{0.03}$

$\implies \sf P_2=5000$

Substitute the found value of P₂ into Equation 1 and solve for P₁:

$\implies \sf P_1+5000=7000$

$\implies \sf P_1=7000-5000$

$\implies \sf P_1 = 2000$

$2000 was invested at 5% and $5000 was invested at 8%.

Find the solution of the problem (1 3. (2 cos x - y sin x)dx + (cos x + sin y)dy=0.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

$2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)=C_1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$P(x,y)=2*cos(x)-y*sin(x)$

$Q(x,y)=cos(x)+sin(y)$

This is an exact differential equation because:

$\frac{\partial P(x,y)}{\partial y} =-sin(x)$

$\frac{\partial Q(x,y)}{\partial x}=-sin(x)$

With this in mind let's define f(x,y) such that:

$\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x}=P(x,y)$

and

$\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=Q(x,y)$

So, the solution will be given by f(x,y)=C1, C1=arbitrary constant

Now, integrate $\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial x}$ with respect to x in order to find f(x,y)

$f(x,y)=\int\ 2*cos(x)-y*sin(x)\, dx =2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)+g(y)$

where g(y) is an arbitrary function of y

Let's differentiate f(x,y) with respect to y in order to find g(y):

$\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial }{\partial y} (2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)+g(y))=cos(x)+\frac{dg(y)}{dy}$

Now, let's replace the previous result into $\frac{\partial f(x,y)}{\partial y}=Q(x,y)$ :

$cos(x)+\frac{dg(y)}{dy}=cos(x)+sin(y)$

Solving for $\frac{dg(y)}{dy}$

$\frac{dg(y)}{dy}=sin(y)$

Integrating both sides with respect to y:

$g(y)=\int\ sin(y) \, dy =-cos(y)$

Replacing this result into f(x,y)

$f(x,y)=2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)$

Finally the solution is f(x,y)=C1 :

$2*sin(x)+y*cos(x)-cos(y)=C_1$

A 15-foot ladder leans against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the house. To the nearest degree, what angle doe

max2010maxim [7]

The ladder is forming a right triangle with the house. In this right triangle the hypotenuse is the measure of the ladder, and the distance between the house and he ladder is one of the sides of the triangle. To find the angle, $\alpha$ , that the ladder is making with the ground, we are going to use a trig function that relates the adjacent side of our angle with the hypotenuse. That trig function is Cosine.
$Cos \alpha = \frac{adjacent.side}{hypotenuse}$
$Cos \alpha = \frac{7}{15}$
$\alpha =arcCos( \frac{7}{15} )$
$\alpha =62.2$

We can conclude that the ladder make with the ground a 62° angle.
