Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Golden Rule: whatever you do to one side of the equation you do to the other side </em></u>

x is gonna be used as my representation of a number (x = a number)

3= 5x -2

flip the equation so the x is on the right side of the equation

move the 2 the other side of the equation

5x -2 = 3

+2 +2

5x = 5

separate the 5 from x by using division

5x/5 = 5/5

x=1

Does the set {t, t Int} form a fundamental set of solutions for t^2y" -- ty' +y = 0?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a Cauchy Euler's equation

$t^2y''-ty'+y=0$ where t is not equal to zero

We are given that two solutions of given Cauchy Euler's equation are t,t ln t

We have to find the solutions are independent or dependent.

To find the solutions are independent or dependent we use wronskain

$w(x)=\begin{vmatrix}y_1&y_2\\y'_1&y'_2\end{vmatrix}$

If wrosnkian is not equal to zero then solutions are dependent and if wronskian is zero then the set of solution is independent.

Let $y_1=t,y_2=t ln t$

$y'_1=1,y'_2=lnt+1$

$w(x)=\begin{vmatrix}t&t lnt\\1&lnt+1\end{vmatrix}$

$w(x)=t(lnt+1)-tlnt=tlnt+t-tlnt=t$ where t is not equal to zero.

Hence,the wronskian is not equal to zero .Therefore, the set of solutions is independent.

Hence, the set {t , tln t} form a fundamental set of solutions for given equation.

The number 321.8 is 34% of x. What is the value of x rounded to the nearest whole number?

Anni [7]

Answer:

946

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation :

34% of x = 321.8

Covert 34% into decimal by dividing by 100 :

34 ÷ 100 = 0.34

Rewrite equation with decimal form :

0.34x = 321.8

Divide both sides by x to make x the subject :

x = 321.8 ÷0.34

x = 946.470588235

To the nearest whole number will be 946 as 4 rounds it down

So our final answer will be 946

Hope this helped and have a good day

Let

$S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n r^k = 1 + r + r^2 + \cdots + r^n$

where we assume |r| < 1. Multiplying on both sides by r gives

$r S_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n r^{k+1} = r + r^2 + r^3 + \cdots + r^{n+1}$

and subtracting this from $S_n$ gives

$(1 - r) S_n = 1 - r^{n+1} \implies S_n = \dfrac{1 - r^{n+1}}{1 - r}$

As n → ∞, the exponential term will converge to 0, and the partial sums $S_n$ will converge to

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} S_n = \dfrac1{1-r}$

Now, we're given

$a + ar + ar^2 + \cdots = 15 \implies 1 + r + r^2 + \cdots = \dfrac{15}a$

$a^2 + a^2r^2 + a^2r^4 + \cdots = 150 \implies 1 + r^2 + r^4 + \cdots = \dfrac{150}{a^2}$

We must have |r| < 1 since both sums converge, so

$\dfrac{15}a = \dfrac1{1-r}$

$\dfrac{150}{a^2} = \dfrac1{1-r^2}$

Solving for r by substitution, we have

$\dfrac{15}a = \dfrac1{1-r} \implies a = 15(1-r)$

$\dfrac{150}{225(1-r)^2} = \dfrac1{1-r^2}$

Recalling the difference of squares identity, we have

$\dfrac2{3(1-r)^2} = \dfrac1{(1-r)(1+r)}$

We've already confirmed r ≠ 1, so we can simplify this to

$\dfrac2{3(1-r)} = \dfrac1{1+r} \implies \dfrac{1-r}{1+r} = \dfrac23 \implies r = \dfrac15$

It follows that

$\dfrac a{1-r} = \dfrac a{1-\frac15} = 15 \implies a = 12$

and so the sum we want is

$ar^3 + ar^4 + ar^6 + \cdots = 15 - a - ar - ar^2 = \boxed{\dfrac3{25}}$

which doesn't appear to be either of the given answer choices. Are you sure there isn't a typo somewhere?

Their is a rectangle that has measurements in inches. If the width is 7/8 of an inch and the height is 2/3 of an inch, what is t

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Area of a rectangle = 7/12 of an inch

Step-by-step explanation

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

In this case, the length is represented by height

Height = 2/3 of an inch

Width = 7/8 of an inch

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

= 2/3 × 7/8

= (2 * 7) / (3 * 8)

= 14 / 24

= 7 / 12

Area of a rectangle = 7/12 of an inch
