A landscape contractor wants to make an exposed gravel border of uniform width around a rectangular pool in a garden. The pool is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide. There is enough material to cover 36 square feet. How wide should the border be

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Border should be 1 ft wide

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool is 10 feet long and 6 feet wide.

Now, since the landscape contractor wants to make an exposed gravel border of uniform width. Let the uniform width of the border be x. Thus it means the length is now (10 + 2x) and width is now (6 + 2x).

We are told there is enough material to cover 36 square feet.. Thus;

New area - old area = 36

[(10 + 2x) × (6 + 2x)] - (10 × 60) = 36

4x² + 32x + 60 - 60 = 36

4x² + 32x = 36

Subtract 36 from both sides to get;

4x² + 32x - 36 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have;

x = -9 or 1

We will pick the positive value as the width can't be negative.

Thus;

x = 1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, use pythagoras form

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]

[tex](x + 4)^2 = x^2 + (x + 1)^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1[/tex]

20                          10             0.50

33                          16.50        0.50

Cost = No of banana x unit price

Cost = 4 x 0.50 = 2

Cost = 6 x 0.50 = 3

Cost = 7 x 0.50 = 3.50

Cost = 20 x 0.50 = 10

No of banana = Cost / Unit price

No of banana = 10 / 0.50 = 20

No of banana = 16.50 / 0.50 = 33

In this problem you will use undetermined coefficients to solve the nonhomogeneous equation y′′+4y′+3y=8te^−t+6e^−t−(9t+6)
with initial values y(0)=2andy′(0)=2.

Answers

We're given the ODE,

y'' + 4y' + 3y = 8t exp(-t ) + 6 exp(-t ) - (9t + 6)

(where I denote exp(x) = )

First determine the characteristic solution:

y'' + 4y' + 3y = 0

has characteristic equation

r ² + 4r + 3 = (r + 1) (r + 3) = 0

with roots at r = -1 and r = -3, so the characteristic solution is

y = C₁ exp(-t ) + C₂ exp(-3t )

For the non-homogeneous equation, assume two ansatz solutions

y₁ = (at ² + bt + c) exp(-t )

and

y₂ = at + b

• y'' + 4y' + 3y = 8t exp(-t ) + 6 exp(-t ) … … … [1]

Compute the derivatives of y₁ :

y₁ = (at ² + bt + c) exp(-t )

y₁' = (2at + b) exp(-t ) - (at ² + bt + c) exp(-t )

… = (-at ² + (2a - b) t + b - c) exp(-t )

y₁'' = (-2at + 2a - b) exp(-t ) - (-at ² + (2a - b) t + b - c) exp(-t )

… = (at ² + (b - 4a) t + 2a - 2b + c) exp(-t )

Substitute them into the ODE [1] to get

→   [(at ² + (b - 4a) t + 2a - 2b + c) + 4 (-at ² + (2a - b) t + b - c) + 3 (at ² + bt + c)] exp(-t ) = 8t exp(-t ) + 6 exp(-t )

(at ² + (b - 4a) t + 2a - 2b + c) + 4 (-at ² + (2a - b) t + b - c) + 3 (at ² + bt + c) = 8t + 6

4at + 2a + 2b = 8t + 6

→   4a = 8   and   2a + 2b = 6

→   a = 2   and   b = 1

→   y₁ = (2t ² + t ) exp(-t )

(Note that we don't find out anything about c, but that's okay since it would have gotten absorbed into the first characteristic solution exp(-t ) anyway.)

• y'' + 4y' + 3y = -(9t + 6) … … … [2]

Compute the derivatives of y₂ :

y₂ = at + b

y₂' = a

y₂'' = 0

Substitute these into [2] :

4a + 3 (at + b) = -9t - 6

3at + 4a + 3b = -9t - 6

→   3a = -9   and   4a + 3b = -6

→   a = -3   and   b = 2

→   y₂ = -3t + 2

Then the general solution to the original ODE is

y(t) = C₁ exp(-t ) + C₂ exp(-3t ) + (2t ² + t ) exp(-t ) - 3t + 2

Use the initial conditions y (0) = 2 and y' (0) = 2 to solve for C₁ and C₂ :

y (0) = C₁ + C₂ + 2 = 2

→   C₁ + C₂ = 0 … … … [3]

y'(t) = -C₁ exp(-t ) - 3C₂ exp(-3t ) + (-2t ² + 3t + 1) exp(-t ) - 3

y' (0) = -C₁ - 3C₂ + 1 - 3 = 2

→   C₁ + 3C₂ = -4 … … … [4]

Solve equations [3] and [4] to get C₁ = 2 and C₂ = -2. Then the particular solution to the initial value problem is

y(t) = -2 exp(-3t ) + (2t ² + t + 2) exp(-t ) - 3t + 2

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

|v|=38

Ф = 120°

Finding the horizontal component

The horizontal component can be obtained using the formula

Vx = |v| cos Ф

     = 38 cos 120°

     = 38 (-0.5)

      = -19

Thus, the  horizontal component is:

Vx = -19

Finding the vertical component

The vertical component can be obtained using the formula

Vy = |v| sin Ф

    = 38 sin 120°

    = 38 (0.86)

    = 32.68

Thus, the vertical component is:

Vy = -19

A vector 'v' with magnitude |v| and direction Ф can be written as:

v = |v| cos Ф i + |v| sin Ф j

As

|v|=38

Ф = 120°

Thus, the vector is

v = 38 cos 120° i + 38 sin 120° j

or

v = -19 i + 32.68 j

altitude of 700 feet. What is her rate of change?

Answers

Answer:

Her rate of change is 75 ft/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of Change

It measures how one quantity varies with respect to another. The second variable usually is the time.

The climber is hiking. We are given two points of her progress: At 2 hours, she is at 400 ft. This corresponds to the point (2,400).

At 6 hours, she is at 700 ft. This is the point (6,700)

The rate of change is the slope between these two points or the quotient of the variations of each variable:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{700\ ft-400\ ft}{6\ h-2\ h}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{300\ ft}{4\ h}[/tex]

Find a recurrence relation relating Ak to Ak-1. Use iteration to find an explicit formula for An.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

From the given information:

Let An denote the amount in the account at the end of n month

Thus,

[tex]A_o[/tex] =1000

After the first month ends, interest = [tex]=A_o \times \dfrac{3}{100} \times \dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]

= [tex]0.0025A_o[/tex]

Additional deposit = $200

Now,

[tex]A_1 = A_o + 0.0025A_o + 200[/tex]

[tex]=1.0025A_o + 200 --- eqn(1)[/tex]

Interest after 2nd month, = [tex]A_1 \times \dfrac{3}{100} \times \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Additional deposit = $200

[tex]A_2 = A_1 + 0.0025A_1 + 200[/tex]

[tex]=1.0025A_1 + 200 --- eqn(2)[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]A_n = 1.0025A_{n-1} +200[/tex]

(b)

From above;

[tex]A_1 = 1.0025A_ 0+ 200[/tex]

Thus;

[tex]A _2 = 1.0025A_ 1+ 200[/tex]

[tex]A_2 = 1.0025( 1.0025A_ 0+ 200)+ 200[/tex]

[tex]A_2 = 1.0025^2A_o +200 ( 1+1.0025)[/tex]

[tex]A _3 = 1.0025A_ 2+ 200[/tex]

[tex]A _3 = 1.0025( 1.0025^2A_o +200 ( 1+1.0025))+ 200[/tex]

[tex]A _3 = 11.0025^3A_o +200 ( 1+1.0025 + 1.0025^2)[/tex]

To continuity...

[tex]A_n = 1.0025^n A_o + 200 (1+1.0025 +1.0025^2 +...+ 1.0025^{n-1} ) ---- (3)[/tex]

Thus, we have a geometric term [tex]1 + 1.0025 +1.0025^2 +...+ 1.0025^{n-1}[/tex]

where:

a = 1 (first term)

r = 1.0025>1 (common ratio)

Thus;

[tex]1 + 1.0025 +1.0025^2 +...+ 1.0025^{n-1} = \dfrac{a(r^n -1)}{r-1}[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{1(1.0025^n -1)}{1.0025-1}[/tex]

[tex]= 400(1.0025^n -1)[/tex]

From equation(3)

[tex]A_n = (1.0025^n \times 1000) + 80000(1.0025^n -1)[/tex]

[tex]A_n = 1.0025^n \times 81000-80000[/tex]
