2 answers:

5 0

(x-2)(x+5)=18
x²+3x-10=18
Subtract 18 to each side
x²+3x-10-18=18-18
x²+3x-28=0
x²+7x-4x-28=0
x(x+7)-4(x+7)=0
(x-4)(x+7)=0

x-4=0
Add 4 to each side
x-4+4=0+4
x=4

x+7=0
Subtract 7 to each side
x+7-7=0-7
x=-7. As a result,the solutions to this equation are 4 and -7. Hope it help!

Well if finding X you get 4,-7 when you simplify the whole equation you get that as well.

A pencil is `120` millimeters long.

leva [86]

Given the length of the pencil, the length of the marker is 130.8 millimeters.

<h3>What are percentages?</h3>

Percentage can be described as a fraction of an amount expressed as a number out of hundred. Percentages are represented %.

<h3>How long is the marker?</h3>

Length of the marker = (1 + percentage) x length of the pencil

(1.09) x 120 = 130.8 millimeters

Solve these linear equations in the form y=yn+yp with yn=y(0)e^at.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a) $y(t) = y_{0}e^{4t} + 2$ . It does not have a steady state

b) $y(t) = y_{0}e^{-4t} + 2$ . It has a steady state.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $y' -4y = -8$

The first step is finding $y_{n}(t)$ . So:

$y' - 4y = 0$

We have to find the eigenvalues of this differential equation, which are the roots of this equation:

$r - 4 = 0$

$r = 4$

So:

$y_{n}(t) = y_{0}e^{4t}$

Since this differential equation has a positive eigenvalue, it does not have a steady state.

Now as for the particular solution.

Since the differential equation is equaled to a constant, the particular solution is going to have the following format:

$y_{p}(t) = C$

$(y_{p})' -4(y_{p}) = -8$

$(C)' - 4C = -8$

C is a constant, so (C)' = 0.

$-4C = -8$

$4C = 8$

$C = 2$

The solution in the form is

$y(t) = y_{n}(t) + y_{p}(t)$

$y(t) = y_{0}e^{4t} + 2$

b) $y' +4y = 8$

The first step is finding $y_{n}(t)$ . So:

$y' + 4y = 0$

We have to find the eigenvalues of this differential equation, which are the roots of this equation:

$r + 4 =$

$r = -4$

So:

$y_{n}(t) = y_{0}e^{-4t}$

Since this differential equation does not have a positive eigenvalue, it has a steady state.

Now as for the particular solution.

Since the differential equation is equaled to a constant, the particular solution is going to have the following format:

$y_{p}(t) = C$

$(y_{p})' +4(y_{p}) = 8$

$(C)' + 4C = 8$

C is a constant, so (C)' = 0.

$4C = 8$

$C = 2$

The solution in the form is

$y(t) = y_{n}(t) + y_{p}(t)$

$y(t) = y_{0}e^{-4t} + 2$

jillian is trying to save water, so she reduces the size of her square grass lawn by 8 feet on each side. the area of the smalle

8_murik_8 [283]

We can solve this equation by using the Square Root Method.
First, take the square root of each side of the equation:
(x-8)^2 = 144 becomes x-8 = 12
Then add 8 to both sides.
x=20

The original lawn was d. 20 feet by 20 feet.
