Frank worked 25 hours as a waiter last week.

<h2>Simultaneous equation</h2>

Let the time spent as a waiter be x
Leet the total time spent as a busser be y

If<u> Frank worked both jobs f</u>or a total of 36 hours, hence:

x + y = 36

x = 36 - y

Also, if he earns $12 per hour as a waiter and $10 per hour as a busser and earned a total of $410, then;

12x + 10y = 410

Substitute 1 into 2

12x + 10y = 410

12(36 - y)+ 10y = 410

432 -12y + 10y = 410

-2y = -22

y = 11

Since x = 36 - y

x = 36 - 11

x = 25

Hence frank worked 25 hours as a waiter last week.

Please show me how to solve the initial value problem <br> y'=tanx y(pi/4)=3

AlexFokin [52]

The ODE is separable, i.e. you can write

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\tan x\iff\mathrm dy=\tan x\,\mathrm dx$

Integrating both sides gives the general solution.

$\displaystyle\int\mathrm dy=\int\tan x\,\mathrm dx$
$y=-\ln|\cos x|+C$

Given that $y\left(\dfrac\pi4\right)=3$ , we have

$3=-\ln\left|\cos\dfrac\pi4\right|+C$
$3=-\ln\dfrac1{\sqrt2}+C$
$3-\ln\sqrt2=C$

and so the particular solution to the IVP is

$y=-\ln|\cos x|+3-\ln\sqrt2$
$y=3-\ln|\sqrt2\cos x|$

Which value of a in the exponential function below would cause the function to shrink? f(x) = a(three-halves) Superscript x Four

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Four-fifths

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

By multiplying the function by a constant, we may expand or shrink the function in the y-direction.

Now we have

$y=a(b^{x})$

if $a> 1$ > the function would enlarge

if $0< a < 1$ > the function would shrinks

Now

For case A

$a = \frac{4}{5}$

$0 < (\frac{4}{5} )< 1$ ....... > the function would shrinks

For case B

$a = \frac{5}{4}$

$(\frac{5}{4} )>1$ .......> the function would enlarge

For case C

$a = \frac{3}{2}$

$(\frac{3}{2} )>1$ .........> the function would enlarge

For case D

$a = \frac{7}{4}$

$(\frac{7}{4} )>1$ .........> the function would enlarge

Therefore the second option is correct

A convex figure has three sides what is the sum of its exterior angles

SashulF [63]

A convex figure with three sides is triangle. The sum of the measures of all interior angles of the triangle is 180°.

Let $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ be interior angles of this triangle. Then

$\alpha+\beta+\gamma=180^{\circ}.$

Find exterior angles of this triangle:

1. $180^{\circ}-\alpha$ is exterior angle adjacent to the interior angle $\alpha.$

2. $180^{\circ}-\beta$ is exterior angle adjacent to the interior angle $\beta.$

3. $180^{\circ}-\gamma$ is exterior angle adjacent to the interior angle $\gamma.$

The sum of the measures of all exterior angles is

$180^{\circ}-\alpha+180^{\circ}-\beta+180^{\circ}-\gamma=540^{\circ}-(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)=540^{\circ}-180^{\circ}=360^{\circ}.$

Answer: 360°
