John cut a paper square with a perimeter of 18 inches into two rectangles. The perimeter of one of the rectangles is 10 inches.
koban [17]

Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The original square had sides of 4.5 (18/4)

To get a perimeter of 10, we know that two sides would already equal 9 (4.5+4.5).  That means we only have 1 inch for the other two sides, so they are each 1/2 inch.

That leaves the second rectangle with a length and width of 4.5 and 4.

2(4.5) + 2(4) =

9+8=

17

In this problem,y = 1/(x2 + c)is a one-parameter family of solutions of the first-order DEy' + 2xy2 = 0.Find a solution of the f
trasher [3.6K]

Differentiate the given solution:

y=\dfrac1{x^2+C}\implies y'=-\dfrac{2x}{(x^2+C)^2}

Substitute y and y' into the ODE:

-\dfrac{2x}{(x^2+C)^2}+2x\left(\dfrac1{x^2+C}\right)^2=0

and it's easy to see the left side indeed reduces to 0.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=5y-8 and pass through (6, -5) in slope intercept form
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

y=1/5x-31/5 (or y=0.2x-6.2 in decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5y-8     (original equation)

x+8=5y <u>(Addition Property of Equality)</u>

1/5x+8/5=y <u>(Division Property of Equality, </u><u>slope </u><u>of </u><u><em>original equation </em></u><u>is </u><u>1/5</u><u>)</u>

<u />

y-y1=m(x-x1)    <u>(point-slope formula)</u>

y-(-5))=1/5(x-(6)) <u>(plug in the slope that was found earlier and the point given in the question)</u>

y+5=1/5(x-6)

y+5=1/5x-6/5   (Distributive Property of Multiplication)   Note:  5 = 25/5

<u>y=1/5x-31/5</u> (Subtraction Property of Equality, and there's your answer)

<u>y=0.2x-6.2</u><em> </em>(This is the same answer, but written with decimals)

I need help with these three problems (college algebra)
Paraphin [41]

5. After 6 hours, the concentration is halved. After 12 hours, it will be quartered. If the original concentration is 200 nmol, a quarter is 50 nmol.

14. The population doubles after 3 hours, and a day is 24 hours. That means that the original population should be multiplied by 2^{24/3}, or 2^8. 3 million times 2^8 is 3 * 256 million, or 768 million.

15. The concentration is halved every 8 hours and the original concentration is 100 nmol. So now, how many times do you halve 100 to get to 12.5?

100/2 = 50, 50/2 = 25, 25/2 = 12.5. That's three times. 3 * 8 is 24 hours, or 1 day.
