Answer:

The number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the reciprocal of the number is x

1/2 + 3 = 1

3x = 1/2

divided both sides by 3

x = 1/6

Since x is the reciprocal of the number, flip 1/6 and you will get 6/1

6/1 is really just 6 so that's your answer.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

$e^t+e^{-4t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the original function using partial fraction, hence:

$\frac{5s}{s^2+3s-4} =\frac{5s}{(s-1)(s+4)}\\\\=\frac{A}{s-1}+\frac{B}{s+4}\\\\Therefore:\\\\\frac{A(s+4)+B(s-1)}{(s-1)(s+4)}=\frac{5s}{(s-1)(s+4)}\\\\Eliminating\ the \ denominator:\\\\A(s+4)+B(s-1)=5s\\\\substitute\ s=1:\\\\A(1+4)+B(1-1)=5(1)\\\\5A=5\\\\A=1\\\\tsubstitute\ s=-4:\\\\A(-4+4)+B(-4-1)=5(-4)\\\\-5B=-20\\\\B=4\\\\Therefore\ substituting\ A\ and\ B\ gives:\\\\\frac{5s}{s^2+3s-4}=\frac{1}{s-1}+ \frac{4}{s+4}\\\\$

$From\ Laplace\ inverse:\\\\But\ L^{-1}[\frac{1}{s-a} ]=e^{at}\\\\Hence:\\\\L^{-1} [\frac{5s}{s^2+3s-4}]=L^{-1}[\frac{1}{s-1} ]+L^{-1}[\frac{4}{s+4} ]=e^{t}+4e^{-4t}\\\\L^{-1} [\frac{5s}{s^2+3s-4}]=e^{t}+4e^{-4t}$

CAN SOMEONE PLS ANSWER-If W(- 10, 4), X(- 3, - 1) , and Y(- 5, 11) classify AEXY by its sides . Show all work to justify your an

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

WX = $\sqrt{74} \approx 8.6023253\\\\$
XY = $2\sqrt{37} \approx 12.1655251\\\\$
WY = $\sqrt{74} \approx 8.6023253\\\\$
Classify: Isosceles

============================================================

Explanation:

Apply the distance formula to find the length of segment WX

W = (x1,y1) = (-10,4)

X = (x2,y2) = (-3, -1)

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10-(-3))^2 + (4-(-1))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10+3)^2 + (4+1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + (5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{49 + 25}\\\\d = \sqrt{74}\\\\d \approx 8.6023253\\\\$

Segment WX is exactly $\sqrt{74}$ units long which approximates to roughly 8.6023253

-------------------

Now let's find the length of segment XY

X = (x1,y1) = (-3, -1)

Y = (x2,y2) = (-5, 11)

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-(-5))^2 + (-1-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3+5)^2 + (-1-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-12)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 144}\\\\d = \sqrt{148}\\\\d = \sqrt{4*37}\\\\d = \sqrt{4}*\sqrt{37}\\\\d = 2\sqrt{37}\\\\d \approx 12.1655251\\\\$

Segment XY is exactly $2\sqrt{37}$ units long which approximates to 12.1655251

-------------------

Lastly, let's find the length of segment WY

W = (x1,y1) = (-10,4)

Y = (x2,y2) = (-5, 11)

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10-(-5))^2 + (4-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10+5)^2 + (4-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-7)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{25 + 49}\\\\d = \sqrt{74}\\\\d \approx 8.6023253\\\\$

We see that segment WY is the same length as WX.

Because we have exactly two sides of the same length, this means triangle WXY is isosceles.
