The ratio 4:5> 4x+ 5x=35> 9x=35> x=3.8 and then you do (3.8)3.8=14.7. Therefore there is not a correct answer.

Answer:

x= 16 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' and 'y' are the lengths of the two pieces then:

1.) x + y = 36

2.) x : y = 4 : 5 cross multiply

3.) 5x = 4y

by solving the system of equations

x + y = 36

5x = 4y

we find

x = 16 ft

y = 20 ft

Answer: the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meaning whether it is 5 or -5 the absolute value is 5 for both because that is their distance from zero.

given y>0 and dy/dx=(3x^2+4x)/yif the point (1,√10) is on the graph relating x and y, then what is y when x=0

jonny [76]

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{3x^2+4x}y\iff y\,\mathrm dy=(3x^2+4x)\,\mathrm dx$
$\implies\displaystyle\int y\,\mathrm dy=\int(3x^2+4x)\,\mathrm dx$
$\implies \dfrac12y^2=x^3+2x^2+C$

When $x=1$ you have $y=\sqrt{10}$ , so

$\dfrac12(\sqrt{10})^2=1^3+2(1)^2+C\implies 5=1+2+C\implies C=2$

and so the particular solution to the ODE is

$\dfrac12y^2=x^3+2x^2+2$

Then when $x=0$ , you get

$\dfrac12y^2=0^3+2(0)^2+2=2$
$\implies y^2=4$
$\implies y=2$

where we omitted the negative root because it's given that $y>0$ .

When truckers are on long-haul drives, their driving logs must reflect their average speed. Average speed is the total distance

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.500 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Distance

Total Distance on the highway = 3hr * 60 miles / hr = 180 miles
Distance in the city = 20 miles
Total Distance = 180 + 20 = 200 miles

Time

Time on the highway = 3 hours
Time in the city = x

Formula

d /t = r

Solution

Average rate = 57.14
Total Distance / Total Time = average rate
200 / (3 + x) = 57.14 Multiply both sides by 3 + x
200 = 57.14 * (3 + x) Remove the brackets
200 = 57.14*3 + 57.14x Multiply the factors on the right
200 = 171.42 + 57.14x Subtract 171.42 from both sides.
200 - 171.42 = 171.42 - 171.42 + 57.14x So the subtraction
28.58 = 57.14x Divide by 57.14
28.57/57.14 = x
x = 0.500 hour Answer
