Answer:

Car 1 : 40 miles per gallon

Car 2: 25 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 15 gallons of gas. The second car consumed 25 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total of 1475 miles and the sum of their fuel efficiency was 65 miles per gallon. What were the fuel efficiency of each of the cars that week

Given that :

Fuel efficiency , car 1 = x

Fuel efficiency , car 2 = y

x + y = 65 - - (1)

15x + 35y = 1475 - - - (2)

x = 65 - y

15(65-y) + 35y

975 - 15y + 35y = 1475

20y = 14875 - 975

20y = 500

y = 25

Put y = 25 in (1)

x + y = 65

x + 25 = 65

x = 65 - 25

x = 40

Find the general solution of the given higher-order differential equation. d3u dt3 + d2u dt2 − 2u = 0
STALIN [3.7K]

\dfrac{\mathrm d^3u}{\mathrm dt^3}+\dfrac{\mathrm d^2u}{\mathrm dt^2}-2u=0

This ODE has characteristic equation

r^3+r^2-2=(r^3-r)+(r^2+r-2)=r(r^2-1)+(r+2)(r-1)

=(r(r+1)+(r+2))(r-1)=(r^2+2r+2)(r-1)=0

which has roots at r=1,-1\pm i. Then the characteristic solution to the ODE is

u(t)=C_1e^t+C_2e^{(-1+i)t}+C_3e^{(-1-i)t}

\implies\boxed{u(t)=C_1e^t+C_2e^{-t}\cos t+C_3e^{-t}\sin t}

Leokris [45]

Answer: 51,440

Step-by-step explanation:

If a Veterinary tech earns 32,490 and a Barista earns 19,630

You're gonna create the equation ( 32,490 x 4 ) and get 129,960. Then your gonna subtract ( 19,630 x 4 ) from 129,960  and get around 51,440.

Also, you get the 4 from the number of years he works, which is 4.

A​ person's rectangular dog pen for his dog must have an area of 200 square feet.​ Also, the length must be 12 feet longer than
kherson [118]

Answer:

width = 9.36 ft

length = 21.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.

To calculate the area would then be

x(x+12) = 200

xx^{2} +12x=200x^{2} +12x-200=0

x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft

We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are

width = 9.36 ft

length =  9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft
