<h3>The number of pears Amy has is 16.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J represent the number of pears Josh has.

Let L represent the number of pears Leya has.

Let A represent the number of pears Amy has.

From the question given above,

Josh (J) = 4 × Leya (L)

J = 4L ....... (1)

Leya (L) = ½ × Amy (A)

L = ½A ........ (2)

Next, we shall determine the number of pears Leya has. This can be obtained as follow:

From equation 1

J = 4L

But

Josh (J) = 32 pears

Thus,

32 = 4L

Divide both side by 4

L = 32 / 4

<h3>Leya (L) = 8 pears </h3>

Finally, we shall determine the number pears Amy has. This can be obtained as follow:

From equation 2

L = ½A

But

Leya (L) = 8 pears

Thus,

8 = ½A

Cross multiply

A = 8 × 2

<h3>Amy (A) = 16 pears </h3>

Therefore, Amy has 16 pears.

amy =4

Step-by-step explanation:

32 pears

Josh = 4l

leya = a/2

Amy = ?

L =8

A = 4

<u><em>Check answer: </em></u>

josh = 32

leya = 8

amy =4

Josh has 4 times as Leya True

Leya has half as many pears as Amy True

Consider the following.x = t − 2 sin(t), y = 1 − 2 cos(t), 0 ≤ t ≤ 8πSet up an integral that represents the length of the curve.
sweet [91]

The length of the parametric curve (call it <em>C </em>) is given by

\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds=\int_0^{8\pi}\sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dt

We have

x=t-2\sin t\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=1-2\cos t

y=1-2\cos t\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=2\sin t

Now,

\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2=5-4\cos t

so that the arc length integral reduces to

\displaystyle\int_0^{8\pi}\sqrt{5-4\cos t}\,\mathrm dt

which has an approximate value of 53.4596.
