Answer:

Leslie has 13 quarters and 23 half-dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the following equations from the information given and considering that a quarter is $0.25 and half-dollar is $0.50:

x+y=36 (1)

0.25x+0.50y=14.75 (2), where:

x=amount of quarters

y=amount of half-dollars

First, you can isolate x in (1):

x=36-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2):

0.25(36-y)+0.50y=14.75

9-0.25y+0.50y=14.75

0.25y=5.75

y=5.75/0.25

y=23

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find the value of x:

x=36-23

x=13

According to this, the answer is that Leslie has 13 quarters and 23 half-dollars.

Pentagon PQRST and its reflection, pentagon P'Q'R'S'T', are shown in the coordinate plane below:

Ad libitum [116K]

<span>I have graphed the given coordinates of both pentagons. The reflection was across the y-axis where coordinates of Pentagon PQRST (-x,y) resulted to Pentagon P'Q'R'S'T' (x,y). The line of reflection between the pentagons was x = 0. Line of reflection is the midway between the pre-image and its reflection.</span>

Please I need help with differential equation. Thank you

Inga [223]

1. I suppose the ODE is supposed to be

$\mathrm dt\dfrac{y+y^{1/2}}{1-t}=\mathrm dy(t+1)$

Solving for $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}$ gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{y+y^{1/2}}{1-t^2}$

which is undefined when $t=\pm1$ . The interval of validity depends on what your initial value is. In this case, it's $t=-\dfrac12$ , so the largest interval on which a solution can exist is $-1\le t\le1$ .

2. Separating the variables gives

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{y+y^{1/2}}=\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{1-t^2}$

Integrate both sides. On the left, we have

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{y^{1/2}(y^{1/2}+1)}=2\int\frac{\mathrm dz}{z+1}$

where we substituted $z=y^{1/2}$ - or $z^2=y$ - and $2z\,\mathrm dz=\mathrm dy$ - or $\mathrm dz=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{2y^{1/2}}$ .

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dy}{y^{1/2}(y^{1/2}+1)}=2\ln|z+1|=2\ln(y^{1/2}+1)$

On the right, we have

$\dfrac1{1-t^2}=\dfrac12\left(\dfrac1{1-t}+\dfrac1{1+t}\right)$

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dt}{1-t^2}=\dfrac12(\ln|1-t|+\ln|1+t|)+C=\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

So

$2\ln(y^{1/2}+1)=\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

$\ln(y^{1/2}+1)=\dfrac12\ln(1-t^2)^{1/2}+C$

$y^{1/2}+1=e^{\ln(1-t^2)^{1/4}+C}$

$y^{1/2}=C(1-t^2)^{1/4}-1$

I'll leave the solution in this form for now to make solving for $C$ easier. Given that $y\left(-\dfrac12\right)=1$ , we get

$1^{1/2}=C\left(1-\left(-\dfrac12\right)^2\right))^{1/4}-1$

$2=C\left(\dfrac54\right)^{1/4}$

$C=2\left(\dfrac45\right)^{1/4}$

and so our solution is

$\boxed{y(t)=\left(2\left(\dfrac45-\dfrac45t^2\right)^{1/4}-1\right)^2}$
