Answer:

A: Algebraic Function

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic function is given as;

5x – 2y = 15

Since we are dealing with rate of change, let's make y the subject first and find dy/dx.

Thus;

2y = 5x - 15

y = (5x/2) - 15/2

dy/dx = 5/2

dy/dx = 2.5

The verbal function is given as;

Cost of 5 pencils is 15 dollars

Thus, rate of 1 pencil = 15/5 = 3 pencils per dollar

We can see that the lowest rate of change is 2.5 and it is the algebraic function.

Write down the explicit solution for each of the following: a) x’=t–sin(t); x(0)=1

Kay [80]

Answer:

a) x=(t^2)/2+cos(t), b) x=2+3e^(-2t), c) x=(1/2)sin(2t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve by separating variables:

$x'=\frac{dx}{dt}$

a) x’=t–sin(t), x(0)=1

$dx=(t-sint)dt$

Apply integral both sides:

$\int {} \, dx=\int {(t-sint)} \, dt\\\\x=\frac{t^2}{2}+cost +k$

where k is a constant due to integration. With x(0)=1, substitute:

$1=0+cos0+k\\\\1=1+k\\k=0$

Finally:

$x=\frac{t^2}{2} +cos(t)$

b) x’+2x=4; x(0)=5

$dx=(4-2x)dt\\\\\frac{dx}{4-2x}=dt \\\\\int {\frac{dx}{4-2x}}= \int {dt}\\$

Completing the integral:

$-\frac{1}{2} \int{\frac{(-2)dx}{4-2x}}= \int {dt}$

Solving the operator:

$-\frac{1}{2}ln(4-2x)=t+k$

Using algebra, it becomes explicit:

$x=2+ke^{-2t}$

With x(0)=5, substitute:

$5=2+ke^{-2(0)}=2+k(1)\\\\k=3$

Finally:

$x=2+3e^{-2t}$

c) x’’+4x=0; x(0)=0; x’(0)=1

Let $x=e^{mt}$ be the solution for the equation, then:

$x'=me^{mt}\\x''=m^{2}e^{mt}$

Substituting these equations in c)

$m^{2}e^{mt}+4(e^{mt})=0\\\\m^{2}+4=0\\\\m^{2}=-4\\\\m=2i$

This becomes the solution m=α±βi where α=0 and β=2

$x=e^{\alpha t}[Asin\beta t+Bcos\beta t]\\\\x=e^{0}[Asin((2)t)+Bcos((2)t)]\\\\x=Asin((2)t)+Bcos((2)t)$

Where A and B are constants. With x(0)=0; x’(0)=1:

$x=Asin(2t)+Bcos(2t)\\\\x'=2Acos(2t)-2Bsin(2t)\\\\0=Asin(2(0))+Bcos(2(0))\\\\0=0+B(1)\\\\B=0\\\\1=2Acos(2(0))\\\\1=2A\\\\A=\frac{1}{2}$

Finally:

$x=\frac{1}{2} sin(2t)$

At the 6th grade school dance, there are 132 boys, 89 girls, and 14 adults. What is the ratio of adults to boys at the school da

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

14 to 132

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 132 boys and 14 adults. Since the question is only asking for the ratio of adults to boys, we don't have to worry about the number of girls in this question. From here, we see that the question is asking for the ratio of adults to boys, so we put it in that exact order. Our answer is 14 to 132. I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to reach out with more questions!
