Answer:

Area = length  x width

Area = (3width - 13) x width

Area = 3 width^2 -13width

56 = 3width^2 -13 width

Width = 7

Length = (3 *7) -13 = 8

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle are 8 by 7 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle is 13 centimeters less than three times its width. In other words:

\ell = 3w-13

Given that the area of the rectangle is 56 square centimeters, we want to determine its dimensions.

Recall that the area of a rectangle is given by:

A = w \ell

Substitute in known values and equations:

(56)=w(3w-13)

Solve for <em>w</em>. Distribute:

3w^2-13w=56

Isolate the equation:

3w^2-13w-56=0

Factor. We want to find two numbers that multiply to 3(-56) = -168 and that add to -13.

-21 and 8 suffice. Hence:

3w^2 - 21w + 8w - 56 = 0 \\ \\ 3w(w-7) + 8(w-7) = 0 \\ \\ (3w+8)(w-7) = 0

Zero Product Property:

3w+8=0\text{ or } w-7=0

Solve for each case:

\displaystyle w = -\frac{8}{3} \text{ or } w=7

Since the width cannot be negative, we can ignore the first solution.

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is seven centimeters.

Thus, the length will be:

\ell = 3(7) - 13 = 8

Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 8 by 7 centimeters.

Solve the differential equation.<br> question is pictured with answer choices
Nimfa-mama [501]

Integrate both sides with respect to <em>t</em> :

∫ d<em>y</em>/d<em>t</em> d<em>t</em> = ∫ -12<em>t</em> ² d<em>t</em>

<em>y(t)</em> = -4<em>t</em> ³ + <em>C</em>

Use the initial condition to solve for <em>C</em> :

5 = -4•0³+ <em>C</em>

<em>C</em> = 5

So

<em>y(t)</em> = -4<em>t</em> ³ + 5

and the answer is D.

Alternatively, you can directly apply the fundamental theorem of calculus:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=-12t^2\implies y(t)=y(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t -12u^2\,\mathrm du

\implies y(t)=5-4u^3\bigg|_0^t

\implies y(t)=5-4t^3
