If XY × 8 = YYY, where Xand Y are digits of the numbers, then what is the value of Y?

1 answer:

8 0

Given that
XY*8 = YYY ⇒⇒⇒ Where X and Y are digits
So, X is equal to one of the digits from 1 to 9
and Y is one of the digits from 1 to 9
This can be solved as following
YYY = 100Y + 10Y + Y = Y(100+10+1) = 111Y
XY*8 = 8 (10X + Y) = 80X + 8Y
∴ 80X + 8Y = 111Y
∴ 80 X = 111Y - 8 Y
∴ 80 X = 103 Y

∴ Y = 80X/103
substitute with X = 1 to 9
X = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 0.77 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

X = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 1.55 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 2.33 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.11 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 5 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.88 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 6 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 4.66 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 5.44 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.21 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

X = 9 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.99 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

So, The is no value of Y to achieve ⇒⇒ XY * 8 = YYY

================================================

I think the problem is as following:

Given that XY8 = YYY ⇒⇒⇒ Where X and Y are digits
So, X is equal to one of the digits from 1 to 9
and Y is one of the digits from 1 to 9
This can be solved as following
YYY = 100Y + 10Y + Y = Y(100+10+1) = 111Y
XY8 = 100X + 10Y + 8
∴ 100X + 10Y + 8 = 111Y
∴ 100x + 8 = 101Y
∴ Y = (100X + 8)/101
substitute with X = 1 to 9
X = 1 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 1.07 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

X = 2 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 2.06 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 3 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 3.05 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 4.04 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 5 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 5.03 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 6 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 6.02 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 7.01 ⇒⇒ unacceptable
X = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ Y = 8 ⇒⇒⇒ integer ⇒⇒ the correct answer

X = 9 ⇒⇒⇒ Y =8.99 ⇒⇒ unacceptable

So, The value of Y = 8

Answer:

Two figures that have the same shape are said to be similar. When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the triangles below are similar, compare their corresponding sides.

Find the particular solution of the differential equation that satisfies the initial condition(s). f ''(x) = x−3/2, f '(4) = 1,

sweet [91]

Answer:

Hence, the particular solution of the differential equation is $y = \frac{1}{6} \cdot x^{3} - \frac{3}{4}\cdot x^{2} - x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

This differential equation has separable variable and can be solved by integration. First derivative is now obtained:

$f'' = x - \frac{3}{2}$

$f' = \int {\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right) } \, dx$

$f' = \int {x} \, dx -\frac{3}{2}\int \, dx$

$f' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x^{2} - \frac{3}{2}\cdot x + C$ , where C is the integration constant.

The integration constant can be found by using the initial condition for the first derivative ( $f'(4) = 1$ ):

$1 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4^{2} - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (4) + C$

$C = 1 - \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4^{2} + \frac{3}{2}\cdot (4)$

$C = -1$

The first derivative is $y' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x^{2}- \frac{3}{2}\cdot x - 1$ , and the particular solution is found by integrating one more time and using the initial condition ( $f(0) = 0$ ):
