Answer:

(a)100,000

(b)53,000

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Let the total votes be x.

Given 31% of x=31000

$31 \times \frac{x}{100}$

$= 31000$

$x= 100 000$

So,total votes are =100,000

_________________________________

(b)

$Winning \: candidate \: got = \frac{53 \times 100000}{100}$

$=53,000$

Winning margin =53000−31000=22000.

= $22000$

Therefore, the Winning margin is 22000.

Question:

In an election, there were only two candidates for the post of president. The winning candidate got 53% of the total votes. His opponent got 31000 votes which represented 31% of the total votes. Find (a) the number of votes and (b) the winning margin.

Answer:

22000

step by step explanation:

Let the total votes be x.

Given 31% of x = 31000

$= > 31 \times \frac{x}{100}$

$= > 31000$

$x = 100000$

So, Total votes are = 100000

Winning candidate got

$= > 53\% \: of \: 100000$

$= > \frac{53}{100} \times 100000$

(you can cancel the zeros near hundred and also 2 zeros near lakh)

$= > \frac{53}{1} \times 1000$

$= > 53000$

Winning margin

= 53000 - 31000

= 22000

•°• The winning margin is 22000

Solve the following initial-value problem, showing all work, including a clear general solution as well as the particular soluti

Vikki [24]

Answer:

General Solution is $y=x^{3}+cx^{2}$ and the particular solution is $y=x^{3}-\frac{1}{2}x^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x\frac{\mathrm{dy} }{\mathrm{d} x}=x^{3}+3y\\\\Rearranging \\\\x\frac{\mathrm{dy} }{\mathrm{d} x}-3y=x^{3}\\\\\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}-\frac{3y}{x}=x^{2}$

This is a linear diffrential equation of type

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}+p(x)y=q(x)$ ..................(i)

here $p(x)=\frac{-2}{x}$

$q(x)=x^{2}$

The solution of equation i is given by

$y\times e^{\int p(x)dx}=\int e^{\int p(x)dx}\times q(x)dx$

we have $e^{\int p(x)dx}=e^{\int \frac{-2}{x}dx}\\\\e^{\int \frac{-2}{x}dx}=e^{-2ln(x)}\\\\=e^{ln(x^{-2})}\\\\=\frac{1}{x^{2} } \\\\\because e^{ln(f(x))}=f(x)]\\\\Thus\\\\e^{\int p(x)dx}=\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

Thus the solution becomes

$\tfrac{y}{x^{2}}=\int \frac{1}{x^{2}}\times x^{2}dx\\\\\tfrac{y}{x^{2}}=\int 1dx\\\\\tfrac{y}{x^{2}}=x+c$ $y=x^{3}+cx^{2$

This is the general solution now to find the particular solution we put value of x=2 for which y=6

we have $6=8+4c$

Thus solving for c we get c = -1/2

Thus particular solution becomes

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

How much would $100 invested at 8% intrest compounded annually be worth after 15 years? round your answer to the nearest cent. d

frosja888 [35]

Our P = 100, r = .08, n = 1 (annually means once a year), and t = 15. Filling in accordingly, we have $A(t)=100(1+ \frac{.08}{1})^{(1)(15)}$ . Simplifying a bit gives us $A(t)=100(1+.08)^{15}$ and $A(t)=100(1.08)^{15}$ . Raising that number inside the parenthesis to the 15th power gives us $A(t)=100(3.172169114)$ . Multiplying to finish means that A(t) = $317.22
