Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the coefficients of the three y terms:

(1 + 3 + 5)y = -18.

Then (9)y = -18.

Dividing both sides b y 9, we get:

y = -18/9, or y = -2.

Answer:

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out the value of y, we have to isolate the y. In order to do that, we first have to combine all like terms and we do that by adding the numbers with variables together.

1y+3y+5y=9y

9y=-18

Now we have to get the y by itself so we divide 9 on both sides of the equation because once we do that, we can cancel out the 9.

9/9=1 -18/9=-2

So the answer is y=-2.

Find sin A for the triangle below. Give the exact value as an expression and an approximation to the nearest ten-thousandth. Not

Feliz [49]

the exact value of sin A to the nearest ten- thousandth is 0. 6625

<h3>Using the pythagorean theorem</h3>

a² + b² = c²

The opposite side is unknown, so use the pythagorean theorem to find it

c = hypotenuse = 4

a= opposite site = ?

b= adjacent side = 3

Substitute into the formula

4² = a² + 3²

16 = a² + 9

a² = 16 -9 = 7

Find the square root

a =√7 = 2. 65

To find Sin A, use

Sin A = opposite side ÷ hypotenuse

Sin A = 2. 65 ÷ 4 = 0. 6625

Thus, the value of sin A is 0. 6625

Problem1 The behavior of a physical system can be described by the following first order differential equation: dy/dt=2y +t^2

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$y = \dfrac{t^3e^{2t}}{3}+Ce^{2t}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Using first order linear differential equation:

$\dfrac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t} = 2y + t^2$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t} - 2y =t^2$

finding integrating factor:

I.F = $e^{\int -2dt}$

I.F = $e^{-2t}$

now,

$y = \dfrac{1}{IF}(\int t^2dt+ c )$

$y = \dfrac{1}{e^{-2t}}(\int t^2dt+ c )$

$y = \dfrac{t^3e^{2t}}{3}+Ce^{2t}$

hence the solution is

$y = \dfrac{t^3e^{2t}}{3}+Ce^{2t}$

How do I do this ? I don't know how to find the midpoint in this problem

finlep [7]

If point A is the midpoint then that means line segments XA and AY are equivalent so you can set:
3x=5x-6
(now you solve for x)
2x=6
(divide by 2 on both sides)
x=3

So BASICALLY,
XA= 3x= 3(3) = 9
AY= 5x-6= 5(3)-6 =9
So now you know the length of both sides, add those together and you get
XY=18
