Answer:

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial dimensions of the rectangular fence is 8 yards by 4 yards.

The initial area of the rectangular fence = area of a rectangle

area of a rectangle = length x width

So that,

The initial area of the fence = 8 x 4

                                              = 32

The initial area of the fence is 32 square yards.

But, with the new dimensions, area = 60 square yards.

(4 + x) x (8 + x) = 60

x^{2} + 12x + 28 = 60

x^{2} + 12x - 32 = 0

(x + 14) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0

x = -14 or x =2

Thus, x = 2

The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.

The perimeter of a triangle is 480. The 2nd side is three times the 1st, and the 3rd side is 60 more than the 2nd. What is the l
svetlana [45]

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

So let the first side be x. So the next side is 3x and the last side is (3x +60) . Add all 3 sides and set equal to 480. So x + 3x + (3x +60)= 480. Now do the Algebra. So 7x + 60 = 480. Subtracting 60 we get 7x = 420 so x= 60. You are asked to ffg ind the length of the longest side so 3(60) + 60 = 240.

(a) Use the reduction formula to show that integral from 0 to pi/2 of sin(x)^ndx is (n-1)/n * integral from 0 to pi/2 of sin(x)^
Sedbober [7]
Hello,

a)
I= \int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^n(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin(x)*sin^{n-1}(x)} \, dx \\

= [-cos(x)*sin^{n-1}(x)]_0^ \frac{\pi}{2}+(n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {cos(x)*sin^{n-2}(x)*cos(x)} \, dx \\

=0 + (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {cos^2(x)*sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\

= (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {(1-sin^2(x))*sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\
= (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx - (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^n(x) \, dx\\


I(1+n-1)= (n-1)*\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\
I= \dfrac{n-1}{n} *\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{n-2}(x)} \, dx \\


b)
\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{3}(x)} \, dx \\
= \frac{2}{3} \int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin(x)} \, dx \\
= \dfrac{2}{3}\ [-cos(x)]_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}=\dfrac{2}{3} \\






\int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin^{5}(x)} \, dx \\
= \dfrac{4}{5}*\dfrac{2}{3} \int\limits^{ \frac{\pi}{2} }_0 {sin(x)} \, dx = \dfrac{8}{15}\\







c)

I_n=  \dfrac{n-1}{n} * I_{n-2} \\

I_{2n+1}=  \dfrac{2n+1-1}{2n+1} * I_{2n+1-2} \\
= \dfrac{2n}{2n+1} * I_{2n-1} \\
= \dfrac{(2n)*(2n-2)}{(2n+1)(2n-1)} * I_{2n-3} \\
= \dfrac{(2n)*(2n-2)*...*2}{(2n+1)(2n-1)*...*3} * I_{1} \\\\

I_1=1\\

Arisa [49]

Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.

<h3><u>Half life</u></h3>

Given that the radioactive element​ carbon-14 has a​ half-life of 5750 years, and a scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 57.5​% of their​ carbon-14, to determine how old were the bones at the time they were discovered, the following calculation must be made:

  • 50 = 5750
  • 100 = 11500
  • 57.5 = X
  • 57.5 x 11500 / 100 = X
  • 6612.5 = X

Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.
