A pentagonal-based prism is sliced horizontally by a plane parallel to the base. Which figure best represents the shape of a cro

ss-section parallel to the slice?

Since a pentagonal based prism is sliced horizontally by a plane parallel to the base. So the figure must be similar to the base of the prism because it was sliced parallel to base. Since it is a pentagonal based prism, then the cross section is also pentagon in shape

In ΔABC, which trigonometric ratio equals 32?

Nezavi [6.7K]

The given answer should be "3/2", its because "32" is not possible in anyway..

tan C = sin C / cos C

Where sin C = 3 / 3.61

And

cos C = 2 / 3.61

Now

tan C = (3 / 3.61) / (2 / 3.61) = (3 / 3.61) x (3.61 / 2) = 3 / 2

<span>Thus tan C is the correct choice. </span>

Kendra used these steps to solve the equation 2x + 5 = 3 + 2(x + 1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 5 = 5?

alekssr [168]

The answer is A.
If a redundant conclusion is reached in basic algebra this states that the variable holds all possible real values.
If you algebraically solve Kendra's you do achieve the true statement 5 = 5 (leaving out D). And if you test any value of x for the equation it does hold true (getting rid of B).
Hopefully this makes sense.

Using Laplace transforms, solve x" + 4x' + 6x = 1- e^t with the following initial conditions: x(0) = x'(0) = 1.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The solution to the differential equation is

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{6} -\cfrac {1}{11}e^{t}+\cfrac {61}{66}e^{-2t}\cos(\sqrt 2t)+\cfrac {97}{66}\sqrt 2 e^{-2t}\sin(\sqrt 2t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Laplace Transform will help us solve differential equations in Algebraic ways to find particular solutions, thus after applying Laplace transform and evaluating at the initial conditions we need to solve and apply Inverse Laplace transform to find the final answer.

Applying Laplace Transform

We can start applying Laplace at the given ODE

$x''(t)+4x'(t)+6x(t)=1-e^t$

So we will get

$s^2 X(s)-sx(0)-x'(0)+4(sX(s)-x(0))+6X(s)=\cfrac 1s -\cfrac1{s-1}$

Applying initial conditions and solving for X(s).

If we apply the initial conditions we get

$s^2 X(s)-s-1+4(sX(s)-1)+6X(s)=\cfrac 1s -\cfrac1{s-1}$

Simplifying

$s^2 X(s)-s-1+4sX(s)-4+6X(s)=\cfrac 1s -\cfrac1{s-1}$

$s^2 X(s)-s-5+4sX(s)+6X(s)=\cfrac 1s -\cfrac1{s-1}$

Moving all terms that do not have X(s) to the other side

$s^2 X(s)+4sX(s)+6X(s)=\cfrac 1s -\cfrac1{s-1}+s+5$

Factoring X(s) and moving the rest to the other side.

$X(s)(s^2 +4s+6)=\cfrac 1s -\cfrac1{s-1}+s+5$

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{s(s^2 +4s+6)} -\cfrac1{(s-1)(s^2 +4s+6)}+\cfrac {s+5}{s^2 +4s+6}$

Partial fraction decomposition method.

In order to apply Inverse Laplace Transform, we need to separate the fractions into the simplest form, so we can apply partial fraction decomposition to the first 2 fractions. For the first one we have

$\cfrac 1{s(s^2 +4s+6)}=\cfrac As + \cfrac {Bs+C}{s^2+4s+6}$

So if we multiply both sides by the entire denominator we get

$1=A(s^2+4s+6) + (Bs+C)s$

At this point we can find the value of A fast if we plug s = 0, so we get

$1=A(6)+0$

So the value of A is

$A = \cfrac 16$

We can replace that on the previous equation and multiply all terms by 6

$1=\cfrac 16(s^2+4s+6) + (Bs+C)s$

$6=s^2+4s+6 + 6Bs^2+6Cs$

We can simplify a bit

$-s^2-4s= 6Bs^2+6Cs$

And by comparing coefficients we can tell the values of B and C

$-1= 6B\\B=-1/6\\-4=6C\\C=-4/6$

So the separated fraction will be

$\cfrac 1{s(s^2 +4s+6)}=\cfrac 1{6s} +\cfrac {-s/6-4/6}{s^2+4s+6}$

We can repeat the process for the second fraction.

$\cfrac1{(s-1)(s^2 +4s+6)}=\cfrac A{s-1} + \cfrac {Bs+C}{s^2+4s+6}$

Multiplying by the entire denominator give us

$1=A(s^2+4s+6) + (Bs+C)(s-1)$

We can plug the value of s = 1 to find A fast.

$1=A(11) + 0$

So we get

$A = \cfrac1{11}$

We can replace that on the previous equation and multiply all terms by 11

$1=\cfrac 1{11}(s^2+4s+6) + (Bs+C)(s-1)$

$11=s^2+4s+6 + 11Bs^2+11Cs-11Bs-11C$

Simplifying

$-s^2-4s+5= 11Bs^2+11Cs-11Bs-11C$

And by comparing coefficients we can tell the values of B and C.

$-s^2-4s+5= 11Bs^2+11Cs-11Bs-11C\\-1=11B\\B=-\cfrac{1}{11}\\5=-11C\\C=-\cfrac{5}{11}$

So the separated fraction will be

$\cfrac1{(s-1)(s^2 +4s+6)}=\cfrac {1/11}{s-1} + \cfrac {-s/11-5/11}{s^2+4s+6}$

So far replacing both expanded fractions on the solution

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{6s} +\cfrac {-s/6-4/6}{s^2+4s+6} -\cfrac {1/11}{s-1} -\cfrac {-s/11-5/11}{s^2+4s+6}+\cfrac {s+5}{s^2 +4s+6}$

We can combine the fractions with the same denominator

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{6s} -\cfrac {1/11}{s-1}+\cfrac {-s/6-4/6+s/11+5/11+s+5}{s^2 +4s+6}$

Simplifying give us

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{6s} -\cfrac {1/11}{s-1}+\cfrac {61s/66+158/33}{s^2 +4s+6}$

Completing the square

One last step before applying the Inverse Laplace transform is to factor the denominators using completing the square procedure for this case, so we will have

$s^2+4s+6 = s^2 +4s+4-4+6$

We are adding half of the middle term but squared, so the first 3 terms become the perfect square, that is

$=(s+2)^2+2$

So we get

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{6s} -\cfrac {1/11}{s-1}+\cfrac {61s/66+158/33}{(s+2)^2 +(\sqrt 2)^2}$

Notice that the denominator has (s+2) inside a square we need to match that on the numerator so we can add and subtract 2

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{6s} -\cfrac {1/11}{s-1}+\cfrac {61(s+2-2)/66+316 /66}{(s+2)^2 +(\sqrt 2)^2}\\X(s)=\cfrac 1{6s} -\cfrac {1/11}{s-1}+\cfrac {61(s+2)/66+194 /66}{(s+2)^2 +(\sqrt 2)^2}$

Lastly we can split the fraction one more

$X(s)=\cfrac 1{6s} -\cfrac {1/11}{s-1}+\cfrac {61(s+2)/66}{(s+2)^2 +(\sqrt 2)^2}+\cfrac {194 /66}{(s+2)^2 +(\sqrt 2)^2}$

Applying Inverse Laplace Transform.

Since all terms are ready we can apply Inverse Laplace transform directly to each term and we will get

$\boxed{X(s)=\cfrac 1{6} -\cfrac {1}{11}e^{t}+\cfrac {61}{66}e^{-2t}\cos(\sqrt 2t)+\cfrac {97}{66}\sqrt 2 e^{-2t}\sin(\sqrt 2t)}$
