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}}}

In ΔRST, m < R = 104°, r = 20, and t = 10. Find the m < S, to nearest degree.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

  47°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines helps you find angle T. From there, you can find angle S.

  sin(T)/t = sin(R)/r

  sin(T) = (t/r)sin(R) = (10/20)sin(104°)

  T = arcsin(sin(104°)/2) ≈ 29°

Then angle S is ...

  S = 180° -R -T = 180° -104° -29°

  ∠S = 47°

A taco stand sells tacos for $3.25 each. The stands expenses for the day are $210. Define your variables and write an inequality
Julli [10]
Given:

Let P= profit
let n= no. of tacos sold per day

Sol'n:

P= 3.25n-210
the profit needs to be positive, thus

3.25n>210

n>210/3.25

n> 64.615

they can only sell whole tacos, therefore they must sell at least 65 tacos to make a profit and that profit is:

P=3.25n-210

P=3.25*65 - 210

P= 211.25 -210

P= 1.25

$1.25 profit
