The picture in the attached figure

we know that
In similar triangles. The ratio of the lengths of the sides CS and CB must be equal to the ratio of the lengths of sides CR and CA. CS / CB = CR / CA
which can also be written as,
CS / (CS + SB) = CR / (CR + RA)
CS*(CR+RA)=CR*(CS+RA)
CS=2x+1
SB=6x
CR=7.5
RA=18
(2x+1)*[7.5+18]=7.5*[2x+1+18]
(2x+1)*[25.5]=7.5*[2x+19]
(51x+25.5)=15x+142.5
51x-15x=142.5-25.5
36x=117
x=117/36
x=3.25

the answer is
x=3.25

You have two 30-60-90 triangles, ADC and BDC.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse
1 : sqrt(3) : 2

Using triangle ADC, we can find length AC.
Using triangle BDC, we can find length BC.
Then AB = AC - BC

First, we find length AC.
Look at triangle ACD.
DC is the short leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
DC = 10sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt(3) * 10sqrt(3) = 3 * 10 = 30

Now, we find length BC.
Look at triangle BCD.
For triangle BCD, the long leg is DC and the short leg is BC.
BC = 10sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 10

AB = AC - BC = 30 - 10 = 20

Solve the given initial value problem and determine how the interval in which the solution exists depends on the initial value y

zalisa [80]

Answer:

y has a finite solution for any value y_0 ≠ 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential equation

y' + y³ = 0

We can rewrite this as

dy/dx + y³ = 0

Multiplying through by dx

dy + y³dx = 0

Divide through by y³, we have

dy/y³ + dx = 0

dy/y³ = -dx

Integrating both sides

-1/(2y²) = - x + c

Multiplying through by -1, we have

1/(2y²) = x + C (Where C = -c)

Applying the initial condition y(0) = y_0, put x = 0, and y = y_0

1/(2y_0²) = 0 + C

C = 1/(2y_0²)

1/(2y²) = x + 1/(2y_0²)

2y² = 1/[x + 1/(2y_0²)]

y² = 1/[2x + 1/(y_0²)]

y = 1/[2x + 1/(y_0²)]½

This is the required solution to the initial value problem.

The interval of the solution depends on the value of y_0. There are infinitely many solutions for y_0 assumes a real number.

For y_0 = 0, the solution has an expression 1/0, which makes the solution infinite.

With this, y has a finite solution for any value y_0 ≠ 0.

A baby wriggled so much that weighing him at the clinic was a problem. So the doctor held the baby and stood on a scale. Then th

Pepsi [2]

X = <span>weight of the baby.
y = </span>weight of the doctor.
z = weight of the nurse.

x + y = 78 so y = 78 - x
x + z = 69 so z = 69 - x
x + y + z = 142

substitute y = 78 - x and z = 69 - x into x + y + z = 142

x + y + z = 142
x +78 - x + 69 - x = 142
-x + 147 = 142
-x = - 5
x = 5

answer

<span>the weight of the baby was 5 kg</span>

The best measure of center tendency for this set of data would be the median. It is the best measurement because the data set has an outlier. The outlier is the 30. So to find the median we first order the data set and then find out if the set is an even or odd set. This set is even so we just chose the middle number. If the set was even, we would add the two center number and divide them by 2.

3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 30

The center tendency = 4
