28+12=40 hope this works

The length would be 14.
because 4 less than 3 times the width and the perimeter being 40 you would divide 40 by 2 and you get 20.
4 less than 20 would be 16 but that would make the length equal to the width, therefore, your answer is 14.

guajiro [1.7K]

Given are:
250 adults and 180 parents
so we can solve the number of not parents
not parents = 250 - 180
not parents = 70
then we can number of people of votes for no
no not parents = 70 - 40 = 30
no parents = 180 - 150 = 30
yes no
parents 150 30
not parents 40 30

Rita get paid $16 per hour for the first 8 hour she works each day.She earned 1and 1/2 times her hourly pay rate for the first t

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Rita's pay for Monday is $158.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rita's hourly pay for an 8-hour shift she works everyday is, $16.

If she works overtime she gets paid 1.5 times her hourly pay for every extra hour.

That is, if she works (8 + x) hours a day then the pay for the x hour is, 1.5x.

Rita's working hours on Monday is:

Started from 8:15 AM to 12:45 PM ⇒ 4 hours 30 minutes.

45 minutes lunch break ⇒ 12:45 PM + 45 minutes = 1:30 PM
Worked from 1:30 PM to 6:15 PM ⇒ 4 hours 45 minutes

It is provided that Rita does not get paid for lunch hour.

Rita's pay for Monday is computed as follows:

= (8:15 AM - 12:45 PM) + (1:30 PM - 6:15 PM)

= (4 hours 30 minutes) + (4 hours 30 minutes)

= (4 + 4) hours + (30 + 45) minutes

= (8 × 16) + (75 minutes × 16 × 1.5)

= 128 + (1.25 hours × 24)

= 128 + 30

= 158

Thus, Rita's pay for Monday is $158.

Find a solution of x dy dx = y2 − y that passes through the indicated points. (a) (0, 1) y = (b) (0, 0) y = (c) 1 6 , 1 6 y = (d

Leni [432]

Answers:

(a) $y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}$ , for any constant C

(b) Solution does not exist

(c) $y = \frac{256}{256 - 15x}$

(d) $y = \frac{64}{64 - 15x}$

Explanations:

(a) To solve the differential equation in the problem, we need to manipulate the equation such that the expression that involves y is on the left side of the equation and the expression that involves x is on the right side equation.

Note that

$x\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 - y
\\
\\ \indent xdy = \left ( y^2 - y \right )dx
\\
\\ \indent \frac{dy}{y^2 - y} = \frac{dx}{x}
\\
\\ \indent \int {\frac{dy}{y^2 - y}} = \int {\frac{dx}{x}} 
\\
\\ \indent \boxed{\int {\frac{dy}{y^2 - y}} = \ln x + C_1}$ (1)

Now, we need to evaluate the indefinite integral on the left side of equation (1). Note that the denominator y² - y = y(y - 1). So, the denominator can be written as product of two polynomials. In this case, we can solve the indefinite integral using partial fractions.

Using partial fractions:

$\frac{1}{y^2 - y} = \frac{1}{y(y - 1)} = \frac{A}{y - 1} + \frac{B}{y}
\\
\\ \indent \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y^2 - y} = \frac{Ay + B(y-1)}{y(y - 1)} 
\\
\\ \indent \Rightarrow \boxed{\frac{1}{y^2 - y} = \frac{(A+B)y - B}{y^2 - y} }$ (2)

Since equation (2) has the same denominator, the numerator has to be equal. So,

$1 = (A+B)y - B
\\
\\ \indent \Rightarrow (A+B)y - B = 0y + 1
\\
\\ \indent \Rightarrow \begin{cases}
 A + B = 0
& \text{(3)}\\-B = 1
 & \text{(4)} \end{cases}$

Based on equation (4), B = -1. By replacing this value to equation (3), we have

A + B = 0
A + (-1) = 0
A + (-1) + 1 = 0 + 1
A = 1

Hence,

$\frac{1}{y^2 - y} = \frac{1}{y - 1} - \frac{1}{y}$

So,

$\int {\frac{dy}{y^2 - y}} = \int {\frac{dy}{y - 1}} - \int {\frac{dy}{y}} 
\\
\\ \indent \indent \indent \indent = \ln (y-1) - \ln y
\\
\\ \indent \boxed{\int {\frac{dy}{y^2 - y}} = \ln \left ( \frac{y-1}{y} \right ) + C_2}$

Now, equation (1) becomes

$\ln \left ( \frac{y-1}{y} \right ) + C_2 = \ln x + C_1
\\
\\ \indent \ln \left ( \frac{y-1}{y} \right ) = \ln x + C_1 - C_2
\\
\\ \indent \frac{y-1}{y} = e^{C_1 - C_2}x
\\
\\ \indent \frac{y-1}{y} = Cx, \text{ where } C = e^{C_1 - C_2}
\\
\\ \indent 1 - \frac{1}{y} = Cx
\\
\\ \indent \frac{1}{y} = 1 - Cx
\\
\\ \indent \boxed{y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}}
$ (5)

At point (0, 1), x = 0, y = 1. Replacing these values in (5), we have

$y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}
\\
\\ \indent 1 = \frac{1}{1 - C(0)} = \frac{1}{1 - 0} = 1

$

Hence, for any constant C, the following solution will pass thru (0, 1):

$\boxed{y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}}$

(b) Using equation (5) in problem (a),

$y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}$ (6)

for any constant C.

Note that equation (6) is called the general solution. So, we just replace values of x and y in the equation and solve for constant C.

At point (0,0), x = 0, y =0. Then, we replace these values in equation (6) so that

$y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}
\\
\\ \indent 0 = \frac{1}{1 - C(0)} = \frac{1}{1 - 0} = 1$

Note that 0 = 1 is false. Hence, for any constant C, the solution that passes thru (0,0) does not exist.

(c) We use equation (6) in problem (b) and because equation (6) is the general solution, we just need to plug in the value of x and y to the equation and solve for constant C.

At point (16, 16), x = 16, y = 16 and by replacing these values to the general solution, we have

$y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}
\\
\\ \indent 16 = \frac{1}{1 - C(16)} 
\\ 
\\ \indent 16 = \frac{1}{1 - 16C}
\\
\\ \indent 16(1 - 16C) = 1
\\ \indent 16 - 256C = 1
\\ \indent - 256C = -15
\\ \indent \boxed{C = \frac{15}{256}}


$

By replacing this value of C, the general solution becomes

$y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx}
\\
\\ \indent y = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{15}{256}x} 
\\ 
\\ \indent y = \frac{1}{\frac{256 - 15x}{256}}
\\
\\
\\ \indent \boxed{y = \frac{256}{256 - 15x}}



$

This solution passes thru (16,16).

(d) We do the following steps that we did in problem (c):
- Substitute the values of x and y to the general solution.
- Solve for constant C

At point (4, 16), x = 4, y = 16. First, we replace x and y using these values so that

$y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx} 
\\ 
\\ \indent 16 = \frac{1}{1 - C(4)} 
\\ 
\\ \indent 16 = \frac{1}{1 - 4C} 
\\ 
\\ \indent 16(1 - 4C) = 1 
\\ \indent 16 - 64C = 1 
\\ \indent - 64C = -15 
\\ \indent \boxed{C = \frac{15}{64}}$

Now, we replace C using the derived value in the general solution. Then,

$y = \frac{1}{1 - Cx} \\ \\ \indent y = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{15}{64}x} \\ \\ \indent y = \frac{1}{\frac{64 - 15x}{64}} \\ \\ \\ \indent \boxed{y = \frac{64}{64 - 15x}}$

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Y = 1
Using y = mx + c.
Compare to y = 1, y = 0x + 1 ,
We can see that the slope m = 0 and the vertical intercept, c = 1.
For the line perpendicular to y = 1
Condition for perpendicularity m₁m₂ = -1
m₁ = 0, m₂ = ?
0*m₂ = -1
m₂ = -1/0 = Negative Infinite or Infinite
Slope of line perpendicular to y = 1, is = Infinite.
