If differentiating takes you from one function to another, then integrating the second function will take you back to the first with a constant of integration.
Given indefinite integral:
[tex]\displaystyle \int \dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)}\:\:\text{d}x[/tex]
Take partial fractions of the given fraction by writing out the fraction as an identity:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)} & \equiv \dfrac{A}{x-4}+\dfrac{B}{x+2}\\\\\implies \dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)} & \equiv \dfrac{A(x+2)}{(x-4)(x+2)}+\dfrac{B(x-4)}{(x-4)(x+2)}\\\\\implies x+5 & \equiv A(x+2)+B(x-4)\end{aligned}[/tex]
Calculate the values of A and B using substitution:
[tex]\textsf{when }x=4 \implies 9 = A(6)+B(0) \implies A=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{when }x=-2 \implies 3 = A(0)+B(-6) \implies B=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Substitute the found values of A and B:
[tex]\displaystyle \int \dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)}\:\:\text{d}x = \int \dfrac{3}{2(x-4)}-\dfrac{1}{2(x+2)}\:\:\text{d}x[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Terms multiplied by constants}\\\\$\displaystyle \int ax^n\:\text{d}x=a \int x^n \:\text{d}x$\end{minipage}}[/tex]
If the terms are multiplied by constants, take them outside the integral:
[tex]\implies \displaystyle \dfrac{3}{2} \int \dfrac{1}{x-4}- \dfrac{1}{2} \int \dfrac{1}{x+2}\:\:\text{d}x[/tex]

For an alternative approach, expand and complete the square in the denominator to write
[tex](x-4)(x+2) = x^2 - 2x - 8 = (x - 1)^2 - 9[/tex]
In the integral, substitute [tex]x - 1 = 3 \sin(u)[/tex] and [tex]dx=3\cos(u)\,du[/tex] to transform it to
[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{x+5}{(x - 1)^2 - 9} \, dx = \int \frac{3\sin(u) + 6}{9 \sin^2(u) - 9} 3\cos(u) \, du \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = - \int \frac{\sin(u) + 2}{\cos(u)} \, du \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = - \int (\tan(u) + 2 \sec(u)) \, du[/tex]
Using the known antiderivatives
[tex]\displaystyle \int \tan(x) \, dx = - \ln|\cos(x)| + C[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \int \sec(x) \, dx = \ln|\sec(x) + \tan(x)| + C[/tex]
we get
[tex]\displaystyle \int \frac{x+5}{(x - 1)^2 - 9} \, dx = \ln|\cos(u)| - 2 \ln|\sec(u) + \tan(u)| + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = - \ln\left|\frac{(\sec(u) + \tan(u))^2}{\cos(u)}\right|[/tex]
Now, for [tex]n\in\Bbb Z[/tex],
[tex]\sin(u) = \dfrac{x-1}3 \implies u = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x-1}3\right) + 2n\pi[/tex]
so that
[tex]\cos(u) = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{(x-1)^2}9} = \dfrac{\sqrt{-(x-4)(x+2)}}3 \implies \sec(u) = \dfrac3{\sqrt{-(x-4)(x+2)}}[/tex]
and
[tex]\tan(u) = \dfrac{\sin(u)}{\cos(u)} = -\dfrac{x-1}{\sqrt{-(x-4)(x+2)}}[/tex]
Then the antiderivative we found is equivalent to
[tex]\displaystyle - \int \frac{x+5}{(x - 1)^2 - 9} \, dx = - \ln\left|-\frac{3(x+2)}{(x-4) \sqrt{-(x-4)(x+2)}}\right| + C[/tex]
and can be expanded as
[tex]\displaystyle - \int \frac{x+5}{(x - 1)^2 - 9} \, dx = -\ln\left| \frac{3(x+2)^{1/2}}{(x-4)^{3/2}}\right| + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = - \ln\left|(x+2)^{1/2}\right| + \ln\left|(x-4)^{3/2}\right| + C \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = \boxed{\frac32 \ln|x-4| - \frac12 \ln|x+2| + C}[/tex]

Se the laplace transform to solve the given initial-value problem. y'' − y' = et cos t, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 0
Answers
The solution to this problem is (s2+1)Y(s)−2s−1=2s2+4 .
We let L[y(t)]=Y(s) . With that, tabular Laplace-transform laws entail
L[y′]=sY(s)−y(0)=sY(s)−2
L[y′′]=s2Y(s)−sy(0)−y′(0)=s2Y(s)−2s−1
∴L[y′′+y]=(s2+1)Y(s)−2s−1 .
Since the Laplace transform of sin(kt) is ks2+k2 , we have
(s2+1)Y(s)−2s−1=2s2+4 .
This equation readily solves to Y(s)=2s3+s2+8s+6(s2+1)(s2+4) . We compute its partial fraction decomposition as Y(s)=2s+53s2+1+−23s2+4 .
Our final step is to use tabular Laplace-transform laws ( sin(kt)↦ks2+k2 , and cos(kt)↦ss2+k2 ) to get y(t)=2cost+53sint−13sin(2t) . One can check that this indeed satisfies the initial value problem.

Find sin(2x), cos(2x), and tan(2x) from the given information. sin(x) = 5 13 , x in quadrant i
Answers
The value of trigonometry terms sin(2x) is 120/169 and cos(2x) is 119/169 and tan(2x) is 120/119.
According to the statement
We have given that the sin(x) = 5/13 , x in quadrant iii
And we have to Find the value of cos x using the following:
So, For this purpose, we know that the trigonometry terms are:
sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1;
or cos2(x) = 1-sin2(x)
And
cos2(x) = 1-(-5/13)2 =
cos2(x) = 144/169;
We know that the
In quadrant III both the sin and cos are negative so
cos(x) = -12/13 (after taking square roots).
And
Then tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (-5/13)/(-12/13) = 5/12.
Now you can use the angle addition formulas to find sin(2x), cos(2x), and tan(2x).
Now
sin(x + x) = sinx * cosx + cosx * sinx
= (-5/13)*(-12/13) + (-12/13)(-5/13) = 120/169
And
cos(x + x) = cosX * cos(x) - sinx*sinx
= (-12/13)(-12/13) - (-5/13)(-5/13)
= 119/169
So,
You could use the tan double angle formula, but it is easiest to use
tan(2x) = sin(2x)/cos(2x) = (120/169) / (119/169)
= 120/119.
So, The value of trigonometry terms sin(2x) is 120/169 and cos(2x) is 119/169 and tan(2x) is 120/119.

The interpretation of the slope is that (b) the volume of helium in the balloon decreases at a rate of 0.1 cubic per minute
What are linear equations?Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change, slope or gradient
How to determine the slope?From the table of values, we have the following points
(x, y) = (5, 5.5) and (10, 5)
The slope of the table of values is calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Substitute the known values in the above equation
m = (5 - 5.5)/(10 -5)

Step-by-step explanation:
Equation
f(x) = (8x + 1) / (2x + 9)
Notice the brackets. They are necessary to show what comes before the division sign, and what comes after.
Behavior
The best way to state the behavior is to get something like a graphing program to show you what the curve looks like -- where it's critical points are for example. I use Desmos for this kind of question, Just do a search for Desmos and bookmark it. You will use it quite often.
So you want to know the behavior.
Right Curve
Crosses the x axis at (-0.125, 0)
Crosses the y axis at (0,0,111)
The right curve has a domain of -∞ < x < ∞
The right curve has a range of -∞ < x < ∞
The range is going to have to go out quite a ways before you see any dramatic decrease in the way it is drawn.
Left Curve.
The right hand curve never crosses either the x or y axis. Nor does it just touch the x or y axis.
The domain is -∞ <x < 0
The range is 0<x<∞
Find an equation of the line parallel to 8x − 3y = 1 and containing the point (−2, 0)
Answers
The equation of the line parallel to 8x − 3y = 1 and containing the point (−2, 0) is 8x -3y = -16
Equation of a straight lineFrom the question, we are to determine the equation of the line parallel to the given equation and that passes through the given point
Lines that are parallel to each other will have the same slope.
First, we will determine the slope of the line in the given equation.
The given equation of the line is
8x − 3y = 1
Express the equation in the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b
Where m is the slope and
b is the y-intercept
That is,
8x − 3y = 1
8x -1 = 3y
3y = 8x - 1
y = 8/3(x) - 1/3
By comparing,
∴ The slope of the line is 8/3
Since we are to find the equation of a line parallel to this, the slope of the line will also be 8/3
Now, find the equation of a line containing the point (-2, 0) and that has a slope of 8/3
Using the point-slope form of a line
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
x₁ = -2
and y₁ = 0
∴ y - 0 = 8/3(x - -2)
y = 8/3(x +2)
3y = 8(x +2)
3y = 8x + 16
8x -3y = -16
Hence, the equation of the line parallel to 8x − 3y = 1 and containing the point (−2, 0) is 8x -3y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:
that is only possible, if we don't need to use a 2 and a 5 (but especially the 2) to create the 1 in the middle (log(10) = log(2×5) or log (5×2) = 1).
in other words, if the 1 in the middle is just a given, and does not use any of our digits for is creation, then a solution is possible.
first of all, the upper left corner has to be log(0⁰). we cannot use the digit 0 for anything else. and 0^n (except for n = 0) is not a valid argument for a logarithm.
log(0⁰) = 0 log(2×1) = 0.3... log(9/4) = 0.35...
log(1×2) = 0.3... 1 log(3×6) = 1.26...
log(7/3) = 0.37... log(4×5) = 1.3... log(6⁹) = 7.0...
but as soon as we need to build the center 1 by log(10), which takes then away one of the 2s (as the only way to build 10 by multiplication is 2×5 or 5×2), there is no possible solution.

The value of the product of the red and blue boxes in the top-middle and left-middle of the grid should be less than 10. It is advisable to place the lowest numbers in these boxes, i.e. 1 and 2.
The value of the product of the red and blue boxes in the bottom-middle and right-middle of the grid should be more than 10.
It is advisable to place some of the highest numbers in the bottom right corner of the grid, as this is the box with the greatest value.

= 2* 39 + 2*143 - 30
= 334
Could I get some help with this?

In a study on the placebo effect on 100 students, 64 were found to perform better on tests after taking a fake pill to improve concentration. What is the experimental probability the placebo pill induced better concentration on the student exams?
Answers
The experimental probability the placebo pill induced better concentration on the student exams is 0.64
The question has to do with probability.
What is probability?Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.
The probability of an event A is given by
P(A) = number of occurrences of event A/total number of occurrences of all events.
What is the experimental probability the placebo pill induced better concentration on the student exams?Given that in the study on the placebo effect on 100 students, 64 were found to perform better on tests after taking a fake pill to improve concentration.
The event A = students performing better.
Since 64 students performed better, the number of occurrences of event A = 64.
Since there were 100 students, the total number of occurrences = 100.
So, P(A) = P(students perform better)
= number of occurrences of event A/total number of occurrences of all events.
= 64/100
= 0.64
So, the experimental probability the placebo pill induced better concentration on the student exams is 0.64
