This is a division problem.
Divide 2 3/5 by 1/8.
First, write 2 3/5 as an improper fraction.
Then divide the fractions.

(2 3/5) / (1/8) =

= (13/5) / (1/8)

= 13/5 * 8/1

= 104/5

= 20 4/5

There were 20 1/8-inch thick slices and one thinner slice at the end.

13/5 * 8/1 = 104/5 = 20 4/5

104/5 = x/8

5x = 832

X = 166.4

166.4/8 = 20.8

20.8 pieces

Find the value of kk for which the constant function x(t)=kx(t)=k is a solution of the differential equation 5t3dxdt+2x−2=05t3dx

uranmaximum [27]

Given the differential equation

$5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0$

The solution is as follows:

$5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} =2-2x \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2-2x} dx= \frac{1}{t^3} dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow \int {\frac{5}{2-2x} } \, dx = \int {\frac{1}{t^3}} \, dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow- \frac{5}{2} \ln(2-2x)=- \frac{1}{2t^2} +A \\ \\ \Rightarrow\ln(2-2x)= \frac{1}{5t^2} +B\\ \\ \Rightarrow2-2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow 2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=De^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+1$

Please help me! I am very confused

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

1) 22.5 A

2) 112 B

3) 430 L

4) 576 P

5) 486 L

6) 624 S

Code is A B L P L S

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 *5*9 = 22.5

2) Area of a parallelogram = base x height = 14 x 8 = 112

3) Area of a rectangular prism = 2(length * width) + 2*(length + height) + 2 *(length *height)

= 2(15x7 + 15*5 + 7*5)

= 2(105 + 75 + 35)

= 2 * 215

= 430

4) Volume of a triangular prism = 1/2 * base * length * height

= 1/2 * 8 * 16 * 9

= 576

5) A cube has six surfaces. Each surface has an area of s x s where s is the length of each side. In this case, each side has area of 9x9 = 81. Total surface area = 6 x 81 = 486 and that is the paper required

6) The trailer is a rectangular prism so its volume = length x width x height = 13 6 x 8 = 624

Now you have to look at each value and see which letter it corresponds to. For example answer 1) is 22.5 which lies between 0-100 so it gets letter A, answer (2) is 112 which lies in the range 101-200 so it gets the letter B and so on

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter and is modeled by the function f(x) = −15x2 + 6000. The graph below shows the height

melisa1 [442]

General Idea:

Domain of a function means the values of x which will give a DEFINED output for the function.

Applying the concept:

Given that the x represent the time in seconds, f(x) represent the height of food packet.

Time cannot be a negative value, so

$x\geq 0$

The height of the food packet cannot be a negative value, so

$f(x)\geq 0$

We need to replace $-15x^2+6000$ for f(x) in the above inequality to find the domain.

$-15x^2+6000\geq 0 \; \; [Divide \; by\; -15\; on\; both\; sides]\\ \\ \frac{-15x^2}{-15} +\frac{6000}{-15} \leq \frac{0}{-15} \\ \\ x^2-400\leq 0\;[Factoring\;on\;left\;side]\\ \\ (x+200)(x-200)\leq 0$

The possible solutions of the above inequality are given by the intervals $(-\infty , -2], [-2,2], [2,\infty )$ . We need to pick test point from each possible solution interval and check whether that test point make the inequality $(x+200)(x-200)\leq 0$ true. Only the test point from the solution interval [-200, 200] make the inequality true.
