Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$x \ \alpha \ y$

$=> x = k \times y\\=> 35 = k \times 7\\=> k = 5$

$x = k \times y$

$=>25 = 5 \times y\\ =>5 = y$

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 35, y = 7

x = ?y

35 = ?7

? = 5

x = 25, y = ?

x = ?y

25 = 5y

y = 5

After traveling exactly half of its journey from station A to station B, a train was held up for 10 minutes. In order to arrive

Alex17521 [72]

Let's define variables:
s = original speed
s + 12 = faster speed
The time for the half of the route is:
60 / s
The time for the second half of the route is:
60 / (s + 12)
The equation for the time of the trip is:
60 / s + 60 / (s + 12) + 1/6 = 120 / s
Where,
1/6: held up for 10 minutes (in hours).
Rewriting the equation we have:
6s (60) + s (s + 12) = 60 * 6 (s + 12)
360s + s ^ 2 + 12s = 360s + 4320
s ^ 2 + 12s = 4320
s ^ 2 + 12s - 4320 = 0
We factor the equation:
(s + 72) (s-60) = 0
We take the positive root so that the problem makes physical sense.
s = 60 Km / h
Answer:
The original speed of the train before it was held up is:
s = 60 Km / h

Show that d^2y/dx^2=-2x/y^5, if x^3 + y^3=1

Answer:

y³ + x³ = 1

First, differentiate the first time, term by term:

${3y^{2}.\frac{dy}{dx} + 3x^{2}} = 0 \\\\{3y^{2}.\frac{dy}{dx} = -3x^{2}} \\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-3x^{2}}{3y^{2}} \\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-x^{2}}{y^{2}}$

↑ we'll substitute this later (4th step onwards)

Differentiate the second time:

$3y^{2}.\frac{dy}{dx} + 3x^{2} = 0 \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{dy}{dx})^{2} + 6x = 0 \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{dy}{dx})^{2} = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{-x^{2} }{y^{2} })^{2} = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + 6y(\frac{x^{4} }{y^{4} }) = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} + \frac{6x^{4} }{y^{3} } = - 6x \\\\3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - 6x - \frac{6x^{4} }{y^{3} } \\\\$

$3y^{2}.\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - \frac{- 6xy^{3} - 6x^{4} }{y^{3}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - \frac{- 6xy^{3} - 6x^{4} }{3y^{2}. y^{3}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - \frac{- 2xy^{3} - 2x^{4} }{y^{5}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - \frac{-2x (y^{3} + x^{3})}{y^{5}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - \frac{-2x (1)}{y^{5}} \\\\\frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2}} = - \frac{-2x}{y^{5}}$
