Answer:

$7,680

$34,240

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Tessa earns in 2019 = $32000

a. She paid tax of 24% on these earnings. Work out the amount she paid in tax in 2018.

Percent of tax = 24%

Amount of tax paid = 24% of $32,000

= 24/100 * 32,000

= 0.24 * 32,000

= $7,680

Amount of tax paid = $7,680

b. Tessa's earnings increased by 7%. Work out her earnings in 2020.

Percentage increase in earnings = 7%

Amount of increase in earnings = 7% of $32,000

= 7/100 * 32,000

= 0.07 * 32,000

= $2,240

Amount of increase in earnings = $2,240

Total earnings in 2020 = Amount Tessa earns in 2019 + Amount of increase in earnings

= $32,000 + $2,240

= $34,240

Total earnings in 2020 = $34,240

Answer:

Dimensions of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft by 750 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular plot = x ft.

and the width of the plot = y ft.

Cost to fence the length at the cost $3.00 per feet = 3x

Cost to fence the width of the cost $2.00 per feet = 2y

Total cost to fence all sides of rectangular plot = 2(3x + 2y)

2(3x + 2y) = 6,000

3x + 2y = 3,000 ----------(1)

3x + 2y = 3000

2y = 3000 - 3x

y = $\frac{1}{2}[3000-3x]$

y = 1500 - $\frac{3x}{2}$

Now area of the rectangle A = xy square feet

A = x[ $1500-\frac{3x}{2}$ ]

For maximum area $\frac{dA}{dx}=0$

A' = $\frac{d}{dx}(1500x-\frac{3}{2}x^{2})$ = 0

1500 - 3x = 0

3x = 1500

x = 500 ft

From equation (1),

y = 1500 - $\frac{3}{2}\times 500$

y = 1500 - 750

y = 750 ft

Therefore, for the maximum area of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft × 750 ft.

two fencing 3(500+500) = $3000

other two fencing 2(750+750) = $3000

1) Use power series to find the series solution to the differential equation y'+2y = 0 PLEASE SHOW ALL YOUR WORK, OR RISK LOSING

iogann1982 [59]

If

$y=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n$

then

$y'=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_nx^{n-1}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)a_{n+1}x^n$

The ODE in terms of these series is

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)a_{n+1}x^n+2\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n=0$

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\bigg(a_{n+1}+2a_n\bigg)x^n=0$

$\implies\begin{cases}a_0=y(0)\\(n+1)a_{n+1}=-2a_n&\text{for }n\ge0\end{cases}$

We can solve the recurrence exactly by substitution:

$a_{n+1}=-\dfrac2{n+1}a_n=\dfrac{2^2}{(n+1)n}a_{n-1}=-\dfrac{2^3}{(n+1)n(n-1)}a_{n-2}=\cdots=\dfrac{(-2)^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}a_0$

$\implies a_n=\dfrac{(-2)^n}{n!}a_0$

So the ODE has solution

$y(x)=\displaystyle a_0\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-2x)^n}{n!}$

which you may recognize as the power series of the exponential function. Then

$\boxed{y(x)=a_0e^{-2x}}$

What is the ratio of x to y?

abruzzese [7]

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}$

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes (or the means):

$\frac{2x+y}{2} = \frac{2x}{3}$ = k

so we have:

2x=3k
2x+y=2k therefore:
3k+y=2k
y= - k

x= $\frac{3}{2} k$

$\frac{x}{y}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$

The corect answer is A. -3/2

or:

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}$

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes and the means:

$\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}$

We use a property of proportions:

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$ where a, d are extremes and b,c are means and the product of the extremes equals the product of the means (a*d=b*c),

so we have

$\frac{a-b}{b} = \frac{c-d}{d}$ or

$\frac{a+b}{b} = \frac{c+d}{d}$ (you can check this also by "the product of the extremes equals the product of the means")

$\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{(2x+y)-2x}{2x} = \frac{2-3}{3}$

$\frac{y}{2x} = \frac{-1}{3}$

3y = - 2x

$\frac{x}{y} = -\frac{3}{2}$
