Answer:

x = 2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

i) It is given that 5x - 3y =1

ii) It is also given that x = 2y - 4

iii) we can substitute the value of x from ii) in the equation in i) and we will get 5(2y - 4) - 3y = 1 ⇒ 10y - 20 -3y = 1 ⇒ 7y = 21 ∴ y = 3

iv) substituting the value of y obtained in ii) we get x = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2.

v) Therefore x = 2.

Find the indefinite integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.) <br> e2x 25 e4x dx.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The solution is $\frac{1}{10} * tan^{-1}[\frac{e^{2x}}{5} ] + C$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

The function given is $f(x) = \frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}} dx$

The indefinite integral is mathematically represented as

$\int\limits {\frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}}} \, dx$

Now let $e^{2x} = u$

=> $\frac{du}{dx} 2e^{2x}$

=> $2 e^{2x}dx = du$

$\int\limits {\frac{e^{2x}}{ 25 + e^{4x}}} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{1}{ 2(25 + u^2)} } \, du$

$= \frac{1}{2} \int\limits {\frac{1}{ 25 + u^2)} } \, du$

$= \frac{1}{2} \int\limits {\frac{1}{ 5^2 + u^2)} } \, du$

$= \frac{1}{2} \frac{tan^{-1} [\frac{u}{5} ]}{5} + C$

Now substituting for u

$\frac{1}{10} * tan^{-1}[\frac{e^{2x}}{5} ] + C$

The cost of a pen is 3 times the cost of a pencil and cost of a

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

1 Pen cost $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume:

Cost of Pen = a

Cost of pencil = b

Cost of notebook = c

a = 3b -------------------(1)

c = 4a -------------------(2)

2a + 6b + c = $18 -----(3)

From equation (1), b = a ÷ 3 ---------(4)

Substitute equations (2) and (4) in equation (3)

2a + 6 * (a ÷ 3) + 4a = $18

2a + 2a + 4a = $18

8a = $18

a = $2.25

Therefore, 1 Pen cost $2.25
