A plumber had two pipes. The ratio of the length of the longer pipe to the shorter pipe was 9:2. When he cut 1.65m from the long

er pipe, the remaining length was 3 times that of the shorter pipe. Find the length of the shorter pipe in metres.

Answer:

1.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L denote longer pipe and S denote shorter part

given:

L:S = 9:2

or L/S = 9/2

2L = 9S

S = (2/9)L-----(eq 1)

Also given:

L - 1.65 = 3S

L - 3S = 1.65 ----- (eq 2)

By substitution, sub eq 1 into eq 2

L - 3(2/9)L = 1.65

L - (2/3)L = 1.65

L [ 1 - (2/3) ] = 1.65

L/3 = 1.65

L = 1.65 (3) = 4.95  (substitute into equation 1)

S = (2/9)(4.95) = 1.1m

The scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is 4

<h3>How to determine the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?</h3>

From the question, we have the following statement:

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A.

The corresponding side lengths of figure A and figure B are:

Figure A = 10

Figure B = 40

The scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is then calculated as:

Scale factor = Figure B/Figure A

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Scale factor = 40/10

Evaluate the quotient

Scale factor = 4

Hence, the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is 4

Solve the following ODE's: c) y* - 9y' + 18y = t^2
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

y = C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t} + \dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})

Step-by-step explanation:

y''- 9 y' + 18 y = t²

solution of ordinary differential equation

using characteristics equation

m² - 9 m + 18 = 0

m² - 3 m - 6 m+ 18 = 0

(m-3)(m-6) = 0

m = 3,6

C.F. = C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t}

now calculating P.I.

P.I. = \frac{t^2}{D^2 - 9D +18}

P.I. = \dfrac{t^2}{(D-3)(D-6)}\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(1-\frac{D}{6})^{-1}(t^2)\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(1+\frac{D}{6}+\frac{D^2}{36}+....)(t^2)\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1-\frac{D}{3})^{-1}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36})\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(1+\frac{D}{3}+\frac{D^2}{9}+....)(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36})\\P.I. =\dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})

hence the complete solution

y = C.F. + P.I.

y = C_1e^{3t}+C_2e^{6t} + \dfrac{1}{18}(t^2+\frac{2t}{6} + \frac{2}{36}+\frac{2t}{3}+\frac{2}{18}+\frac{2}{9})
