Answer:

Jose stretched the taffy the farthest and Maria stretched it the least

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance stretched by George = 3 feet

Distance stretched by Jose is $1\dfrac{1}{3}$ times as much as George so

$3\times 1\dfrac{1}{3}=3\times\dfrac{4}{3}=4\ \text{feet}$

Distance stretched by Jose is $4\ \text{feet}$

Maria streched the taffy $\dfrac{2}{3}$ times as George

$3\times \dfrac{2}{3}=2\ \text{feet}$

Maria stretched the taffy by $2\ \text{feet}$

Sally stretched it $\dfrac{6}{6}$ so $1\ \text{feet}$

So, Jose stretched the taffy the farthest and Maria stretched it the least.

The differential equation in Example 3 of Section 2.1 is a well-known population model. Suppose the DE is changed to dP dt = P(a

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the integral of the DE;

$dP/dt=P(aP-b)$

$dP=P(aP-b)dt$

$1/(dP^2-bP)dP=dt$

We can solve this by integration by parts on the left side. We expand the fraction 1/P²:

$1/(d-b/P)\cdot{P^2} dP$

let

$u=d-b/P$

$du/dP=b/P^2$

$dP=$ $\int\limits {P^2/b} \, du$

$P=lnu/b$

Substitute u in:

$P=ln(d-b/P)/b$

Therefore the equation is:

$ln(d-b/P)/b=t$

We simplify:

$d-b/P=e^b^t$

$P=b/(d-e^b^t)$

As t increases to infinity P will decrease

Solve for the unknown variable 2/5(3x-4)=-4

Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4

Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2

5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:

3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2

(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:

3 x - 4 = 5×-2

5 (-2) = -10:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer: x = -2
