If a student wishes to have a ratio of 2:7 red pens to yellow pens in their pencil case: a) if they have 50 pens total what is the maximum amount they can carry with them b) if they have 18 red and 31 yellow what is the maximum amount they can carry

a) 50 pens total. 2 + 7 = 9. Number of pens is done in 9s.  50/9 = 5r5, so multiple of 5.  Then 25 + 75 pens.    10 red and 35 yellow, 45 pens             
b) 18 red / 2 = [9]r0   31 yellow ...

Given that dx/dt = (1+2x)*4e^(-2t) and x = 1/2 when t = 0, show that ln[2/(1+2x)] = 8[1 - e^(-2t)]

1/(1+2x) dx = 4e^(-2t) dt      Integrate both sides:   ln[2/(1+2x)] = -8e^(-2t) + c      input x = 1/2, t = 0:  ln(2/2) = -8*(1) + c        ln 1 = 0,  so c = 8ln[2/1+2x] = 8[1-e^(-2t)]

Solve: 2 sin(2x) = (1-sin(x))cos(x) for 0<x<2*Pi and give any values of x, if any, where the equation is not valid

Double angle formula:Sin(2x) = 2sin(x)*cos(x)==> 2sin(x)*cos(x) = (1-sin(x))*cos(x)       (2sin(x)-1+sin(x))*cos(x) = 0(3sin(x) - 1)*cos(x) = 0     i) cos(x) = 0,  ii) 3sin(x) = 1 ==> sin(x) = 1/3  ...

You are told that y is proportional to x^2 and that y=75, x=5. Find a formula for y in terms of x.

You know that y is proportional to x2, so let y=kx2 . You also know that y=75 and x=5. Substitute y=75 and x=5 into the equation y=kx2 . Therefore: 75=k multiplied by 5
