The question provides the measures of two angles, (one of which contains

a variable), and the relationship between the angles.

The value of x is 6 degrees

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The base angles of the isosceles triangles are; 61° and (7·x + 19)°

Required:

To find the value of x

Solution:

By definition of an isosceles triangle, we have;

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal, therefore;

(7·x + 19) = 61

Which gives;

$x = \dfrac{61 - 19}{7} = 6$

The value of x = 6

Sarah and four friends are decorating picture frames with ribbon. They have 4 rollsof ribbon to share evenly?

ki77a [65]

"Sarah and four friends", this means that we have a total of 5 persons.
They have four rolls of ribbon to share evenly.
1- This represents division as they have to equally divide four rolls among them.

2- The share of each can be calculated by dividing the four rolls they have by the five of them as follows:
share of each = 4/5 rolls = 0.8 rolls

If y=e5t is a solution to the differential equation

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

k = 30, $y(t) = C_1e^{5t}+C_2e^{6t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $y=e^{5t}$ is a solution, then it must satisfy the differential equation. So, we calculate the derivatives and replace the value in the equation. We have that

$\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = 25 e^{5t},\frac{dy}{dt} = 5e^{5t}$

Then, replacing the derivatives in the equation we have:

$25e^{5t}-11(5)e^{5t}+ke^{5t}=0 e^{5t}(25-55+k) =0$

Since $e^{5t}$ is a positive function, we have that

$25-55+k = 0 \rightarrow k = 30$ .

Now, consider a general solution $y(t) = Ae^{rt}, A \in \mathbb{R}$ , then, by calculating the derivatives and replacing them in the equation, we get

$Ae^{rt}(r^2-11r+30)=0$

We already know that r=5 is a solution of the equation, then we can divide the polynomial by the factor (r-5) to the get the other solution. If we do so, we get that (r-6)=0. So the other solution is r=6.

Therefore, the general solution is

$y(t) = C_1e^{5t}+C_2e^{6t}$

Match the real-world problem to its constant of proportionality.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

a. $18.36 for 3 pizzas : k = 6.12

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas . k = 1.39

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes . k = 4.12

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookie . k = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

PROPORTIONALITY:

Two quantities x and y are said to proportional to each other

if for x ∝ y , x = y k.

Here, k is called the PROPORTIONALITY CONSTANT.

⇒ $x \propto y \implies k = \frac{x}{y}$

Now, for the given quantities:

a. $18.36 for 3 pizzas [box]

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{18.36}{3} = 6.12$

So, the proportionality constant is 6.12.

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas [box]

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{4.17}{3} = 1.39$

So, the proportionality constant is 1.39.

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes [box]

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{16.48}{4} = 4.12$

So, the proportionality constant is 4.12.

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookies

Here, $k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{24}{2} = 12$

So, the proportionality constant is 12.
