The length of a rectangle is 2 meters less than 2 times the width. The perimeter is 20 meters. Find the width.

1 answer:

4 0

The equation you'd make would be (2x-2)+(2x-2)+x+x=20 because the length is 2 m less than the width (x). To simplify, it'd be 6x-4=20 because you combine like terms. You then move the -4 over to the 20 to make it 6x=24. The final answer is 4 meters.

Solve the differential equation.<br><br> (y^2 + xy^2)y' = 1

stira [4]

$(y^2 + xy^2)y' = 1 \ \Rightarrow\ (y^2 + xy^2)\frac{dy}{dx}= 1 \ \Rightarrow\\ \\
y^2(1 + x) \frac{dy}{dx} = 1 \ \Rightarrow\ y^2 dx = \frac{dx}{1 + x}\ \Rightarrow \\ \\
\int y^2 dx =\int \frac{dx}{1 + x} \ \Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{3}y^3 = \ln|1+x| + C\ \Rightarrow \\ \\
y^3 = 3 \ln|1 + x| + 3C\ \Rightarrow\ y = \sqrt[3]{3\ln|1+x| + K},\ \text{where $K = 3C$}

Why do fractions need to have a common denominator before you add or subtract them?

djyliett [7]

Fractions need common denominator to add or subtract them because without denominators a fraction is not a fraction, it is a whole number
Example - 2/8 is a fraction
but 2 is not a fraction
