To go to school in the morning. I first walk to the garden shed at 6 km/h to collect my bicycle. I then cycle to school at 15 km

/h. The total journey normally takes 18.5 minutes, One day, I am lote and I run to the shed at 18 km/h and cycle at 27 km/h. The journey takes me 10 min 10 s. How far is it from my house to the garden shed?

Answer:

Trip A from House to Shed is 0.062 km

Trip B from Shed to School is 4.47 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a table (attached) that summarizes and organizes the data. Let A be the distance from the hosue (I assume) to the shed, and B the distance from the shed to the school. We know that distance = (speed)*(time).

The total time for a trip is the sum of the two segments, A and B, divided by the speed for each segment.

<u> TRIPS </u>

<u> 1 </u> <u> 2 </u>

House/Shed A 6 18 km/hr

Shed/School B 15 27 km/hr

18'30" 10'10" min

18.5 10.16 min

0.308 0.169 hr [Convert the minutes into hours]

[The distance divided by the speed will give the time required for each segment, A and B].

Trip 1: 1) A/6 + B/15 = 0.308

Trip 2: 2) A/18 + B/27 = 0.169

<u>Trip 1: </u> A/6 + B/15 = 0.308

A + (6/15)B = 1.85 [Multiply each side by 6]

A = 1.85 - (6/15)B [Rearrange]

A = 1.85 - (0.4)B [This will be the defination of A we'll use in the second equation]

<u>Trip2:</u> A/18 + B/27 = 0.169

(1.85 - (0.4)B)/18 + B/27 = 0.169 [Use A= 1.85 - (0.4)B from above]

27(1.85 - 0.4B)/18 + B = 27*(0.169) [Multiply each side by 27]

1.5*(1.85-0.4B) + B = 4.58

2.78 - 0.6B + B = 4.58

0.4B = 1.85

<u>B = 4.47 km</u>

<u></u>

Now use B = 4.47 km in either original equation to find A.

A/18 + B/27 = 0.169

A + (18/27)B = 18*(0.169) {Multiply both sides by 18]

A + (0.67)B = 3.042

A + (0.67)(4.47) = 3.042

A + (2.98) = 3.042

<u>A = 0.062 km</u>

Trip A from House to Shed is 0.062 km

Trip B from Shed to School is 4.47 km

The diameter of the moon is about 3500 km. Approximate the surface area of the moon using the formula for the surface area of a

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

$3.8465 *10^7$ square kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere can be found using the formula $SA=4\pi r^2$ . Since the diameter is 3500 km then its radius is half of this. 3500 divided in two is 1,750 units. Substitute r=1,750.

$SA=4\pi r^2\\SA = 4 \pi (1750)^2\\SA = 4 \pi *3,062,500\\SA =38,465,000$

The surface area of the moon is about 38,465,000 square kilometers. Write this is scientific notation using base. $3.8465 *10^7$

Problem 4: Solve the initial value problem

pishuonlain [190]

Separate the variables:

$y' = \dfrac{dy}{dx} = (y+1)(y-2) \implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} \, dy = dx$

Separate the left side into partial fractions. We want coefficients a and b such that

$\dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac a{y+1} + \dfrac b{y-2}$

$\implies \dfrac1{(y+1)(y-2)} = \dfrac{a(y-2)+b(y+1)}{(y+1)(y-2)}$

$\implies 1 = a(y-2)+b(y+1)$

$\implies 1 = (a+b)y - 2a+b$

$\implies \begin{cases}a+b=0\\-2a+b=1\end{cases} \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ and } b = \dfrac13$

So we have

$\dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = dx$

Integrating both sides yields

$\displaystyle \int \dfrac13 \left(\dfrac1{y-2} - \dfrac1{y+1}\right) \, dy = \int dx$

$\dfrac13 \left(\ln|y-2| - \ln|y+1|\right) = x + C$

$\dfrac13 \ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = x + C$

$\ln\left|\dfrac{y-2}{y+1}\right| = 3x + C$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = e^{3x + C}$

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = Ce^{3x}$

With the initial condition y(0) = 1, we find

$\dfrac{1-2}{1+1} = Ce^{0} \implies C = -\dfrac12$

so that the particular solution is

$\boxed{\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}}$

It's not too hard to solve explicitly for y; notice that

$\dfrac{y-2}{y+1} = \dfrac{(y+1)-3}{y+1} = 1-\dfrac3{y+1}$

Then

$1 - \dfrac3{y+1} = -\dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac3{y+1} = 1 + \dfrac12 e^{3x}$

$\dfrac{y+1}3 = \dfrac1{1+\frac12 e^{3x}} = \dfrac2{2+e^{3x}}$

$y+1 = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}}$

$y = \dfrac6{2+e^{3x}} - 1$

$\boxed{y = \dfrac{4-e^{3x}}{2+e^{3x}}}$
