By the law of sines, m∠EFG is such that

sin(m∠EFG) / (8 in.) = sin(m∠G) / (7.5 in)

so you need to find m∠G.

The interior angles to any triangle sum to 180°, so

m∠DEG = m∠D + m∠G + 43°

m∠DEG + m∠D + m∠G = 2 (m∠D + m∠G) + 43°

180° = 2 (m∠D + m∠G) + 43°

137° = 2 (m∠D + m∠G)

68.5° = m∠D + m∠G

But ∆DEG is isosceles, so m∠D = m∠G, which means

68.5° = 2 m∠G

34.25° = m∠G

Then

sin(m∠EFG) = (8 in.) sin(34.25°) / (7.5 in)

m∠EFG ≈ sin⁻¹(0.600325) ≈ 36.8932°

Find the slope of the line passing through the two points (-2,-5,) and (-3,6). Show your work.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$(x_1, \:y_1) =(-2,\: -5) \:\: \&\:\: (x_2, \:y_2) =(-3,\: 6)\\\\$

Slope of line in two point form is given as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\=\frac{6-(-5)}{-3-(-2)}\\\\=\frac{6+5}{-3+2}\\\\=\frac{11}{-1}\\\\\therefore m= -11$

Thus slope of given line is - 11.

How do you do (a) and (b)?

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

See solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) If n=0 or 1, the equation

(1) $y' = a(t)y + f(t)y^n$

would be a simple linear differential equation. So, we can assume that n is different to 0 or 1.

Let's use the following substitution:

(2) $z=y^{n-1}$

Taking the derivative implicitly and using the chain rule:

(3) $z'=(1-n)y^{-n}y'$

Multiplying equation (1) on both sides by

$(1-n)y^{-n}$

we obtain the equation

$(1-n)y^{-n}y' = (1-n)y^{-n}a(t)y+(1-n)y^{-n}f(t)y^n$

reordering:

$(1-n)y^{-n}y' = (1-n)y^{-n}ya(t)+(1-n)y^{-n}y^nf(t)$

$(1-n)y^{-n}y' = (1-n)y^{1-n}a(t)+(1-n)y^{0}f(t)$

$(1-n)y^{-n}y' = (1-n)y^{1-n}a(t)+(1-n)f(t)$

Now, using (2) and (3) we get:

$z'= (1-n)za(t)+(1-n)f(t)$

which is an ordinary linear differential equation with unknown function z(t).

(b)

The equation we want to solve is

(4) $xy'+ y = x^4 y^3$

Here, our independent variable is x (instead of t)

Assuming x different to 0, we divide both sides by x to obtain:

$y'+\frac{1}{x}y = x^3 y^3$

$y' = -\frac{1}{x}y+x^3 y^3$

Which is an equation of the form (1) with

$a(x)=-\frac{1}{x}$

$f(x)=x^3$

$n=3$

So, if we substitute

$z=y^{-2}$

we transform equation (4) in the lineal equation

(5) $z'=\frac{2}{x}z-2x^3$

and this is an ordinary lineal differential equation of first order whose

integrating factor is

$e^{\int (-\frac{2}{x})dx}$

but

$e^{\int (-\frac{2}{x})dx}=e^{-2\int \frac{dx}{x}}=e^{-2ln(x)}=e^{ln(x^{-2})}=x^{-2}=\frac{1}{x^2}$

Similarly,

$e^{\int (\frac{2}{x})dx}=x^2$

and the general solution of (5) is then

$z(x)=x^2\int (\frac{-2x^3}{x^2})dx+Cx^2=-2x^2\int xdx+Cx^2=\\\ -2x^2\frac{x^2}{2}+Cx^2=-x^4+Cx^2$

where C is any real constant

Reversing the substitution

$z=y^{-2}$

we obtain the general solution of (4)

$y=\sqrt{\frac{1}{z}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{-x^4+Cx^2}}$

Attached there is a sketch of several particular solutions corresponding to C=1,4,6

It is worth noticing that the solutions are not defined on x=0 and for C<0
