If I have a stack of pennies. And I have to tell that without counting whether there are even number of pennies or odd.

Even numbers are the numbers which are divisible by 2 and odd numbers are the numbers which are not divisible by 2.

Then I will put the given pennies in 2 rows and then I will match them to form a pair of 2 pennies. After matching, if there is 1 penny left over, then there is an odd number of pennies and if all the pennies have a match,then there is an even number of pennies.

Using the U- Substitution u=sqrt(2x), integral form 2-8 dx/ sqrt(2x) + 1 is equivalent to ...

AleksAgata [21]

We will use u-substitute: $u= \sqrt{2x} , \frac{du}{dx}= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2x} }= \frac{1}{u}$ Then for substitution:dx=u du. and integral becomes: $\int { \frac{u}{u+1} } \, du = \int { \frac{u+1-1}{u+1} } \, du= \int{1} \, du- \int { \frac{1}{u-1} } \, dx$ =u-ln(u+1)= $\sqrt{2x}-ln( \sqrt{2x}+1)$ . Now we will change the values of limits: $\sqrt{16}-ln( \sqrt{16}+1)-( \sqrt{4}-ln( \sqrt{4}+1))$ =4-ln(5)-2+ln(3)=2+ln(0,6)=2-0.51=1.49

A rectangular parcel of land is 70 ft longer than it is wide. Each diagonal between opposite corners is 130 ft. What are the dim

Bingel [31]

We have the following dimensions:
w=wide
w+70=length

We have a right triangle:
leg₁=w
leg₂=w+70
hypotenuse=130

Pythagoras theorem:
leg₁²+leg₂²=hypotenuse²
Then:

w²+(w+70)²=130²

We have to solve that equation:
w²+(w+70)²=130²
w²+w²+140w+4900=16900
2w²+140w+4900-16900=0
2w²+140w-12000=0
(2w²+140w-12000)/2=0/2
w²+70w-6000=0

w=(-70⁺₋√(4900+24000)) / 2
=(-70⁺₋170) / 2
We have two possible solutions:
Solution 1

w=(-70-170)/2=-120 (this solution is not possible because the result is negative and it have no sense in this problem).

Solution 2

w=(-70+170)/2=50 (this is the right solution)

w=50
w+70=120

ANSWER: the length would be 120 u (u=units of length ) and the wide would be 50 u.
