Answer:

(d) -- see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that shows exponential decay is one that tends toward a horizontal asymptote as x gets large.

A basic (parent) exponential decay curve is concave upward and tends toward zero as x gets large. The fractional change in any interval is the same as for any other interval of equal size. The curve attached decreases by a factor of 2 when x increases by 1.

Determine the singular points of the given differential equation. Classify each singular point as regular or irregular. (Enter y

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The differential equation; $(x^2-4)^2y'' + (x + 2)y' + 7y = 0$

The above equation can be better expressed as:

$y'' + \dfrac{(x+2)}{(x^2-4)^2} \ y'+ \dfrac{7}{(x^2- 4)^2} \ y=0$

The pattern of the normalized differential equation can be represented as:

y'' + p(x)y' + q(x) y = 0

This implies that:

$p(x) = \dfrac{(x+2)}{(x^2-4)^2} \$

$p(x) = \dfrac{(x+2)}{(x+2)^2 (x-2)^2} \$

$p(x) = \dfrac{1}{(x+2)(x-2)^2}$

Also;

$q(x) = \dfrac{7}{(x^2-4)^2}$

$q(x) = \dfrac{7}{(x+2)^2(x-2)^2}$

From p(x) and q(x); we will realize that the zeroes of (x+2)(x-2)² = ±2

When x = - 2

$\lim \limits_{x \to-2} (x+ 2) p(x) = \lim \limits_{x \to2} (x+ 2) \dfrac{1}{(x+2)(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \lim \limits_{x \to2} \dfrac{1}{(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{16}$

$\lim \limits_{x \to-2} (x+ 2)^2 q(x) = \lim \limits_{x \to2} (x+ 2)^2 \dfrac{7}{(x+2)^2(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \lim \limits_{x \to2} \dfrac{7}{(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \dfrac{7}{16}$

Hence, one (1) of them is non-analytical at x = 2.

Thus, x = 2 is an irregular singular point.

Why would engineers and architects need to find angles in a polygon

agasfer [191]

As a engineer who was mechanical then electrical most buildings, schematics,etc require some form of calculation for some shapes seeing that those shapes are what make up the world. Say for example you need to make something like a mother board pro house knowing it's shape and angle helps make a more accurate structure during the blue printing and build phase. No one just goes in and wings it you need to determine angles for things you don't know that the point of it.
