Answer:

2 is the largest possible value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Length of one side       = 9

Length of second side = 16

Let AB and BC sides of triangle be of length 9 and 16 respectively as shown in figure attached.

Now, let sides AD and CF be the respective altitudes.

Also, ∠ABC = ∅ (as shown in figure)                                    

If AD and CF are the respective altitudes then,

we have

       AD = 9Sin∅ ;

       CF = 16Sin∅;

By dividing both sides, we get

       AD/CF = 9/16

This equation shows that is independant of angle ∅.

Now, let ∠BAC = α

Now we have, BE = 9 sinα

and                   FC = AC sinα

By dividing both sides, we get

       BE/FC=9/AC

Similarly we also have,

       BE/AD = 16/AC

ABC is a triangle as long as length of AC is ithin range of 8 to 24 i.e, 8≤AC≤24 (because sum of any two sides of triangle should be greater than length of third side)

Using these values we get ranges of:

9/24 ≤ BF/FC ≤ 9/8  ;  2/3 ≤ BE/AD ≤ 2

So,

2 is the largest possible value of the ratio of any two of these altitudes.

(b) dy/dx = (x - y+ 1)^2
Elanso [62]

Substitute v(x)=x-y(x)+1, so that

\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}=1-\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}

Then the resulting ODE in v(x) is separable, with

1-\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}=v^2\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{1-v^2}=\mathrm dx

On the left, we can split into partial fractions:

\dfrac12\left(\dfrac1{1-v}+\dfrac1{1+v}\right)\mathrm dv=\mathrm dx

Integrating both sides gives

\dfrac{\ln|1-v|+\ln|1+v|}2=x+C

\dfrac12\ln|1-v^2|=x+C

1-v^2=e^{2x+C}

v=\pm\sqrt{1-Ce^{2x}}

Now solve for y(x):

x-y+1=\pm\sqrt{1-Ce^{2x}}

\boxed{y=x+1\pm\sqrt{1-Ce^{2x}}}

Answer: OPTION D:  \frac{3}{32}

Step-by-step explanation:

By definiton, fractions have the following form:

\frac{a}{b}

Where "a" is called numerator and "b" is the denominator. The numerator and the denominator are Integers.

 In order to solve this exercise you need to remember de Division of fractions:

\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{d}{e}=\frac{a}{b}*\frac{e}{d}=\frac{a*e}{b*d}

In this case, according to the information given in the exercise, you know that \frac{3}{8}\ lb of rubies are divided into 4 lots.

Therefore, in order to calculate the weight in pounds of each lot, you need to divide \frac{3}{8}\ lb  by 4.

Then, you get the following result:

\frac{3}{8}\ lb\div4=(\frac{3}{8}\ lb) (\frac{1}{4})=\frac{3}{8*4}\ lb=\frac{3}{32} \ lb

As you can notice, this result matches with the Option D.
