Answer:

Try solving 6(n-5)-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this can be set up as 6(n-5)-2. The difference of a number and five can be represented by n-5. If this needs to be multiplied by 6 (hence 6 times), it would become 6(n-5). Two less than that is represented by -2. Thus, two less than six times the difference of a number and five is 6(n-5) -2, which, when n=9 is plugged in, looks like 6(9-5) -2. Follow PEMDAS from there.

4x=-3y+17 becomes 4x+3y=17

4x+3y=17
3x-4y=-6

alrighty

elimination

muliply first equation by 4 and 2nd by 3 and add them
16x+12y=68
9x-12y=-18
add them

25x+0y=50
25x=50
idivide both sides by 25
x=2

sub back

3x-4y=-6
3(2)-4y=-6
6-4y=-6
-4y=-12
y=3

The length of a rectangle is three feet less than twice its width. If x

So if the question says at most 30 sq ft than most likely the > is going to go this way even if it has a line that symbolizes equal or more so that kinda narrows it down to 2 and 4. The L is -3ft x 2 Id say 4. Hope I helped

1. (a) Solve the differential equation (x + 1)Dy/dx= xy, = given that y = 2 when x = 0. (b) Find the area between the two curves

erastova [34]

(a) The differential equation is separable, so we separate the variables and integrate:

$(x+1)\dfrac{dy}{dx} = xy \implies \dfrac{dy}y = \dfrac x{x+1} \, dx = \left(1-\dfrac1{x+1}\right) \, dx$

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}y = \int \left(1-\frac1{x+1}\right) \, dx$

$\ln|y| = x - \ln|x+1| + C$

When x = 0, we have y = 2, so we solve for the constant C :

$\ln|2| = 0 - \ln|0 + 1| + C \implies C = \ln(2)$

Then the particular solution to the DE is

$\ln|y| = x - \ln|x+1| + \ln(2)$

We can go on to solve explicitly for y in terms of x :

$e^{\ln|y|} = e^{x - \ln|x+1| + \ln(2)} \implies \boxed{y = \dfrac{2e^x}{x+1}}$

(b) The curves y = x² and y = 2x - x² intersect for

$x^2 = 2x - x^2 \implies 2x^2 - 2x = 2x (x - 1) = 0 \implies x = 0 \text{ or } x = 1$

and the bounded region is the set

$\left\{(x,y) ~:~ 0 \le x \le 1 \text{ and } x^2 \le y \le 2x - x^2\right\}$

The area of this region is

$\displaystyle \int_0^1 ((2x-x^2)-x^2) \, dx = 2 \int_0^1 (x-x^2) \, dx = 2 \left(\frac{x^2}2 - \frac{x^3}3\right)\bigg|_0^1 = 2\left(\frac12 - \frac13\right) = \boxed{\frac13}$
