Mathematics
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Ben received: £140

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = £240

Given ratio: 5:7

It means £240 is divided into 12 parts

So 1 part will be equal to:   £240/12

1 part = £20

Now given ratio is:

5:7

Multiplying each share with £20

5*(£20) : 7* (£20)

£100: £140

So according to ratio amounts:

Alex received:  £100

Ben received: £140

I hope it will help you!

Find the domain for the particular solution to the differential equation dy dx equals the quotient of 3 times y and x , with ini
Svetach [21]
For this case we have the following difference equation:
 dy / dx = 3xy

 Applying separable variables we have:
 dy / y = 3xdx

 Integrating both sides we have:
 \int\ ({1/y}) \, dy =  \int\ {3x} \, dx
 ln (y) = (3/2) x ^ 2 + C

 applying exponential to both sides:
 exp (ln (y)) = exp ((3/2) x ^ 2 + C)

 y = C * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)
 For y (1) = 1 we have:
 C = 1 / (exp ((3/2) * 1 ^ 2))

C = 0.2
 Thus, the particular solution is:
 y = 0.2 * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)

 Whose domain is all real.
 Answer:
 y = 0.2 * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)
 Domain: all real numbers

2(6+7)= 3(5+2)

Step ; 1 { Solving first Term i.e LHS }

LHS : 2 ( 6 + 7)

☞ 2 ( 13)

☞ 2 × 13

☞ 26

Now, RHS ; 3 ( 5 + 2)

☞ 3 ( 7)

☞ 21

From Equation 1 and 2, We can LHS and RHS are not Equal.

Therefore, 26≠ 21.
