Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. there are 3 right triangles!

step 2. 8/6 = 6/x (definition of right triangle with an altitude)

step 3. 8x = 36 (cross multitude)

step 4. x = 9/2 (divide both sides by 8)

step 5. 6^2 + x^2 = y^2 (pythagorean theorem)

step 6. 6^2 + (9/2)^2 = y^2

step 7. 144/4 + 81/4 = y^2

step 8. 225/4 =y^2

step 9. y = 15/2 = 7.5.

Solve the separable differential equation dtdx=x2+164 and find the particular solution satisfying the initial condition x(0)=9

maria [59]

$\dfrac{dt}{dx} = x^2 + \frac{1}{64} \Rightarrow\ dt = \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ \\ \displaystyle \int 1 dt = \int \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x}{64} + C$

C = 9 because all the x terms go away.

$t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \dfrac{x}{64} + 9$
