Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b: a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1) 0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1: 0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis: 5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides: -0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left: 0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05 b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and: 42-24= 18 13¢ stamps Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.

The water level of a certain body of water is changing at a rate of W(t)=3/4cos(4-t/2) inches per hour, where t represents hours
Leni [432]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The integral \int\limits^{10}_{1 } {W(t)} \, dt means the total change in level of water in inches from 1 am to 10 am. That is the water level change measured in inches between 1 am and 10 am

b) 7 pm is represented as t = 19 hours, while midnight is represented as t = 24 hours, hence the water level change between 7 pm and midnight is:

\int\limits^{24}_{19 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\

c) Using casio calculator to evaluate the integral gives:

\int\limits^{24}_{19 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\ = 2.54 inches

D) The total daily change in water level = \int\limits^{24}_{0 } {W(t)} \, dt\\\\ = 0.35 inches
