If 19 out of 28 renters keep a pet, there are $28-19 = 9$ renters who don't keep a pet.

Whenever you have a subset of some set, and you want to know which percentage of the set the subset represents, you simply have to compute

$\dfrac{\text{number of elements in the subset}}{\text{number of elements in the set}}\times 100$

So, in your case, you're wondering what percentage of 28 does 9 represent. So, the formula becomes

$\dfrac{9}{28}\times 100 = 0.32\overline{142857}\times 100 = 32.\overline{142857} \approx 32.14\%$

Complete the square to rewrite y = x^2 + 6x + 3 in vertex form. Then state whether the vertex is a maximum or a minimum and give

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Let's complete the square first.

y = x² + 6x + 3

= (x² + 6x + 9) - 6

= (x + 3)² - 6

Therefore, the vertex is (-3, -6) and since the coefficient of (x + 3)² is positive, the vertex is a minimum.

Solve the given initial-value problem. the de is of the form dy dx = f(ax + by + c), which is given in (5) of section 2.5. dy dx

shutvik [7]

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\cos(x+y)$

Let $v=x+y$ , so that $\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}-1=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ :

$\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}=\cos v+1$

Now the ODE is separable, and we have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{1+\cos v}=\mathrm dx$

Integrating both sides gives

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dv}{1+\cos v}=\int\mathrm dx$

For the integral on the left, rewrite the integrand as

$\dfrac1{1+\cos v}\cdot\dfrac{1-\cos v}{1-\cos v}=\dfrac{1-\cos v}{1-\cos^2v}=\csc^2v-\csc v\cot v$

Then

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dv}{1+\cos v}=-\cot v+\csc v+C$

and so

$\csc v-\cot v=x+C$

$\csc(x+y)-\cot(x+y)=x+C$

Given that $y(0)=\dfrac\pi2$ , we find

$\csc\left(0+\dfrac\pi2\right)-\cot\left(0+\dfrac\pi2\right)=0+C\implies C=1$

so that the particular solution to this IVP is

$\csc(x+y)-\cot(x+y)=x+1$
