Answer:

x2 = 8.1 in  (Option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The extension of spring x1 = 9 in

- The weight hanged F1 = 100 lbs

Find:-

How far will it stretch with 90 pounds attached?

Solution:-

- The linear extension x of spring is proportional to the amount of force F applied to the spring.

                                         F = k*x

Where, k = is the proportionality constant called stiffness of the spring.

- We will first determine the spring stiffness k using the given data as follows:

                                        F1 = k*x1

                                       100 = k*9

                                       k = 100 / 9

- Now, we will determine the amount with which the spring stretches x2 when the hanged weight is changed to F2 = 90 lbs. Using the first relation we plug in the value of proportionality constant (stiffness) k.

                                      F = (100 / 9)*x

                                      F2 = (100 / 9)*x2

                                      90 = (100 / 9)*x2

                                      x2 = 810 / 100

                                      x2 = 8.1 in

- The amount of spring stretches when the applied load of weight hanged is changed to F2 = 90 lbs is x2 = 8.1 in.

What is the horizontal asymptote for y(t) for the differential equation dy dt equals the product of 2 times y and the quantity 1
marta [7]
First, we need to solve the differential equation.
\frac{d}{dt}\left(y\right)=2y\left(1-\frac{y}{8}\right)
This a separable ODE. We can rewrite it like this:
-\frac{4}{y^2-8y}{dy}=dt
Now we integrate both sides.
\int \:-\frac{4}{y^2-8y}dy=\int \:dt
We get:
\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|\frac{y-4}{4}+1\right|-\frac{1}{2}\ln \left|\frac{y-4}{4}-1\right|=t+c_1
When we solve for y we get our solution:
y=\frac{8e^{c_1+2t}}{e^{c_1+2t}-1}
To find out if we have any horizontal asymptotes we must find the limits as x goes to infinity and minus infinity. 
It is easy to see that when x goes to minus infinity our function goes to zero.
When x goes to plus infinity we have the following:
$$\lim_{x\to\infty} f(x)$$=y=\frac{8e^{c_1+\infty}}{e^{c_1+\infty}-1} = 8
When you are calculating limits like this you always look at the fastest growing function in denominator and numerator and then act like they are constants. 
So our asymptote is at y=8.

Graph a line with a slope of -2/5 that contains the point (-3,5)
kotykmax [81]

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}

Further explanation:

We have to find the equation of the line first to graph the line.

The general form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

y=mx+b

Given

m=-\frac{2}{5}

Putting the value of slope in the equation

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+b

To find the value of b, putting the point (-3,5) in equation

5=-\frac{2}{5}(-3)+b\\5=\frac{6}{5}+b\\5-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=\frac{25-6}{5}\\b=\frac{19}{5}

Putting the values of b and m

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}

The graph is made by using online graphing tool Desmos.
