Answer:

5 whole number 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x:(x-2)=11:3

(:)This simply means ''ratio''

5x/(x-2) = 11/3

(cross multiply)

11(x-2) = 3(5x)

11x-22 = 15x

collect like terms

15x - 11x = 22

4x = 22

x = 22/4, but it is best you put it as a Mixed number.

x = 5 whole number 2/4, which can be reduced to

x = 5 whole number 1/2

Answer:

x = -11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios need to stay the same

5x        11

----- = -------

x-2       3

Using cross products

5x*3 = (x-2) 11

15x = 11x - 22

Subtract 11 from each side

15x-11x = -22

4x = -22

x = -22/4

x = -11/2

RSB [31]

Answer:

Y= 2e^(5t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking Laplace of the given differential equation:

s^2+3s-10=0

s^2+5s-2s-10=0

s(s+5)-2(s+5) =0

(s-2) (s+5) =0

s=2, s=-5

Hence, the general solution will be:

Y=Ae^(-2t)+ Be^(5t)………………………………(D)

Put t = 0 in equation (D)

Y (0) =A+B

2 =A+B……………………………………… (i)

Now take derivative of (D) with respect to "t", we get:

Y=-2Ae^(-2t)+5Be^(5t)   ....................... (E)

Put t = 0 in equation (E) we get:

Y’ (0) = -2A+5B

10  = -2A+5B ……………………………………(ii)

2(i) + (ii) =>

2A+2B=4 .....................(iii)

-2A+5B=10 .................(iv)

Solving (iii) and (iv)

7B=14

B=2

Now put B=2 in (i)

A=2-2

A=0

By putting the values of A and B in equation (D)

Y= 2e^(5t)

mezya [45]

Answer:

<h2>B) 0</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a horizontal line is equal to 0.

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_!}{x_2-x_1}

Put the coordinates of the pojnts from the graph (2, 9) and (4, 9):

d=\dfrac{9-9}{4-2}=\dfrac{0}{2}=0
