A stretched spring has a length of 12 inches when a weight of 2 lbs is attached to the spring. The same spring has a length of 18 inches when a weight of 5 lbs is attached to the spring. What is the length of the spring when no weights are attached?
Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.

Hello,
y=e^(mx)
y'=m*e^(mx)
0=y'+9y=m*e^(mx)+9*e^(mx)
==> e^(mx)*(m+9)=0
This must be exact for every value of ,so
m=-9

Nice days..........
9x = 54
x = 6
Nice days..........
9x-6=48
add 6 to both sides
9x=54
divide both sides by 9
x=6
add 6 to both sides
