Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price is p.

Now, a discount of 15% is = 100%-15% = 85% of the original price.

0.85p = 17

p = 17/0.85

p = 20

$20

Reika [66]

Answer:

The graph of f(x) is stretched vertically.

Step-by-step explanation:

$k$ is a stretch factor, which multiplies the primitive function $g (x) = (x-2)^{4}$ and $f(x)$ is stretched vertically.

Help please I don’t understand probability and need the correct answers to these questions.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

1) = 0.175

2) = 0.244

3) = 0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental, not theoretical, so we use the results table.

1. P(3 n Tails) = 62/(53 + 65 + 49 + 71 + 54 + 62) = 0.175

2. P(Woman n Up) = 39/(36 + 43 + 39 + 42) = 0.244

3. P(Tuna n Wheat Bread) = 23/(22 + 24 + 21 + 22 + 25 + 23) = 0.168

How do i solve that question?

yawa3891 [41]

a) The solution of this ordinary differential equation is $y =\sqrt[3]{-\frac{2}{\frac{3\cdot t}{8}-\frac{\sin 2t}{4}+\frac{\sin 4t}{32}-2 } }$ .

b) The integrating factor for the ordinary differential equation is $-\frac{1}{x}$ .

The particular solution of the ordinary differential equation is $y = \frac{x^{3}}{2}+x^{2}-\frac{5}{2}$ .

<h3>How to solve ordinary differential equations</h3>

a) In this case we need to separate each variable ( $y, t$ ) in each side of the identity:

$6\cdot \frac{dy}{dt} = y^{4}\cdot \sin^{4} t$ (1)

$6\int {\frac{dy}{y^{4}} } = \int {\sin^{4}t} \, dt + C$

Where $C$ is the integration constant.

By table of integrals we find the solution for each integral:

$-\frac{2}{y^{3}} = \frac{3\cdot t}{8}-\frac{\sin 2t}{4}+\frac{\sin 4t}{32} + C$

If we know that $x = 0$ and $y = 1$ , then the integration constant is $C = -2$ .

The solution of this ordinary differential equation is $y =\sqrt[3]{-\frac{2}{\frac{3\cdot t}{8}-\frac{\sin 2t}{4}+\frac{\sin 4t}{32}-2 } }$ . $\blacksquare$

b) In this case we need to solve a first order ordinary differential equation of the following form:

$\frac{dy}{dx} + p(x) \cdot y = q(x)$ (2)

Where:

$p(x)$ - Integrating factor
$q(x)$ - Particular function

Hence, the ordinary differential equation is equivalent to this form:

$\frac{dy}{dx} -\frac{1}{x}\cdot y = x^{2}+\frac{1}{x}$ (3)

The integrating factor for the ordinary differential equation is $-\frac{1}{x}$ . $\blacksquare$

The solution for (2) is presented below:

$y = e^{-\int {p(x)} \, dx }\cdot \int {e^{\int {p(x)} \, dx }}\cdot q(x) \, dx + C$ (4)

Where $C$ is the integration constant.

If we know that $p(x) = -\frac{1}{x}$ and $q(x) = x^{2} + \frac{1}{x}$ , then the solution of the ordinary differential equation is:

$y = x \int {x^{-1}\cdot \left(x^{2}+\frac{1}{x} \right)} \, dx + C$

$y = x\int {x} \, dx + x\int\, dx + C$

$y = \frac{x^{3}}{2}+x^{2}+C$

If we know that $x = 1$ and $y = -1$ , then the particular solution is:

$y = \frac{x^{3}}{2}+x^{2}-\frac{5}{2}$

The particular solution of the ordinary differential equation is $y = \frac{x^{3}}{2}+x^{2}-\frac{5}{2}$ . $\blacksquare$
