Answer:

a : b = 4 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(mark as brainlist answer)

According to the given condition is the question :

Two numbers a and b are such that the sum of 5% of a and 4% of b is two-third of the sum of 6% of a and 8% of b

⇒ (5% of a) + (4% of b) = (2/3) × [(6% of a) + (8% of b)

⇒ 0.05a + 0.04b = 2/3 × (0.06a + 0.08b)

⇒ 0.15a + 0.12b = 0.12a + 0.16b

⇒ 0.03a = 0.04b

⇒ a/b = 4/3

⇒ a : b = 4 : 3

Find the value of kk for which the constant function x(t)=kx(t)=k is a solution of the differential equation 5t3dxdt+2x−2=05t3dx
uranmaximum [27]
Given the differential equation

5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0

The solution is as follows:

5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} =2-2x \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2-2x} dx= \frac{1}{t^3} dt \\  \\ \Rightarrow \int {\frac{5}{2-2x} } \, dx = \int {\frac{1}{t^3}} \, dt \\  \\ \Rightarrow- \frac{5}{2} \ln(2-2x)=- \frac{1}{2t^2} +A \\  \\ \Rightarrow\ln(2-2x)= \frac{1}{5t^2} +B\\  \\ \Rightarrow2-2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow 2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=De^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+1

75 is 25% more than 60, but 60 is 20% less than 75, explain why?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

15 goes into 60, 4 times (1 fourth is equal to 25%).

15 goes into 75, 5 times (1 fifth is equal to 20%)

So 75 is one fifth more because it has a value of 15 more, and 60 is 1 fourth less than 75 because its value is more minuscule and less is more.

If you don't understand this was quite the challenge to explain.

BCALLE can u help me please

17. RQ is the same as PS.
PS = -1 + 4x
RQ = 3x + 3
-1 + 4x = 3x + 3
4x = 3x + 4
x = 4
Now plug that into RQ.
3(4) + 3 = RQ
15 = RQ

18. Angles G and E are equal to each other.
G = 5x - 9
E = 3x + 11
5x - 9 = 3x + 11
5x = 3x + 20
2x = 20
x = 10
Plug that x into G.
5(10) - 9
41 = G

19. TE and EV are equal to each other.
TE = 4 + 2x
EV = 4x - 4
4 + 2x = 4x - 4
2x = 4x - 8
-2x = -8
x = 4
Plug that into TE.
4 + 2(4)
12 = TE

20. DB and BF are equal.
DB = 5x - 1
BF = 5 + 3x
5x - 1 = 5 + 3x
5x = 6 + 3x
2x = 6
x = 3
Plug that into DB.
5(3) - 1
14 = DB

What scale factor was applied to the first rectangle to get the resulting image? The answer is a decimal. The big rectangle is 2
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Scale factor is always (new/original)

so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
