This an { } solution because the absolute value is always a positive number unless there is a negative sign in front of the brackets.

hope this helps :)

|x| = -16 is equivalent to
x = 16 and
-x = 16
so x = 16 and -16

Calculate the GPA of a student with the following grades: B (77 hours), D (66 hours), F (2020 hours). Note that an A is equivale

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The student's GPA is of 0.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

GPA:

To find the student's GPA, we find his weighed mean.

Grades:

7 hours worth 3(B)

6 hours worth 1(D)

20 hours worth 0(F). So

$M = \frac{7*3 + 6*1 + 20*0}{7+6+20} = 0.82$

The student's GPA is of 0.82.

Find the solution of the differential equation dy/dt = ky, k a constant, that satisfies the given conditions. y(0) = 50, y(5) =

irga5000 [103]

Answer: The required solution is $y=50e^{0.1386t}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given to solve the following differential equation :

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=ky~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

where k is a constant and the equation satisfies the conditions y(0) = 50, y(5) = 100.

From equation (i), we have

$\dfrac{dy}{y}=kdt.$

Integrating both sides, we get

$\int\dfrac{dy}{y}=\int kdt\\\\\Rightarrow \log y=kt+c~~~~~~[\textup{c is a constant of integration}]\\\\\Rightarrow y=e^{kt+c}\\\\\Rightarrow y=ae^{kt}~~~~[\textup{where }a=e^c\textup{ is another constant}]$
