Gavin likes biking. He never misses a chance to go for a ride when the weather is nice. This week his goal is to bike about 65 t

otal miles over four days. Each day, he wants to ride 1.5 times as far as he rode the day before. What does the result in part d mean?

Answer:

Total Miles he  drives first day      = 8 miles

Total Miles he drive second day   = 12miles

Total Miles he drives third day    =    18miles

Total Miles he drives fourth day    =  27 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of linear equations in 1 variable:

The linear equations in one variable is an equation which is expressed in the form of ax + b = 0, where a and b are two integers, and x is a variable and has only one solution.

It is given in the question that ,

This week his goal is to drive bike about 65 total miles over four days. Each day, he wants to ride 1.5 times as far as he rode the day before.

Let, on the first day, he drives x miles. On second day, he drives 1.5x. On the third day, he drives 1.5(1.5x) and on the fourth day, he drives 1.5(1.5(1.5x)).

So the equation is :

x +1.5x + 1.5(1.5x) + 1.5(1.5(1.5x)) = 65miles

x + 1.5x + 2.25x + 3.375x   = 65miles

            8.125x   =    65 miles

                  x   =  65/8.125  miles

                  x   = 8 miles

so after solving the equation we get, on the first day Gavin drives 8 miles

similarly, on the second day he drives 12miles

               on third day 18 miles

   and     on the fourth day  27miles

If you divided 20acres of land into 1\4 acre section how !any sections doses it divied to
LuckyWell [14K]
If you divide 20 acres into 1/4 sections you'll get
20 ÷ 1/4 sections. When you divide fractions, you just multiply the reciprocal.

20 ÷ 1/4 =
20 × 4/1 = 80 sections

3y''-6y'+6y=e*x sexcx
Simora [160]
From the homogeneous part of the ODE, we can get two fundamental solutions. The characteristic equation is

3r^2-6r+6=0\iff r^2-2r+2=0

which has roots at r=1\pm i. This admits the two fundamental solutions

y_1=e^x\cos x
y_2=e^x\sin x

The particular solution is easiest to obtain via variation of parameters. We're looking for a solution of the form

y_p=u_1y_1+u_2y_2

where

u_1=-\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{y_2e^x\sec x}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dx
u_2=\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{y_1e^x\sec x}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dx

and W(y_1,y_2) is the Wronskian of the fundamental solutions. We have

W(e^x\cos x,e^x\sin x)=\begin{vmatrix}e^x\cos x&e^x\sin x\\e^x(\cos x-\sin x)&e^x(\cos x+\sin x)\end{vmatrix}=e^{2x}

and so

u_1=-\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{e^{2x}\sin x\sec x}{e^{2x}}\,\mathrm dx=-\int\tan x\,\mathrm dx
u_1=\dfrac13\ln|\cos x|

u_2=\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{e^{2x}\cos x\sec x}{e^{2x}}\,\mathrm dx=\int\mathrm dx
u_2=\dfrac13x

Therefore the particular solution is

y_p=\dfrac13e^x\cos x\ln|\cos x|+\dfrac13xe^x\sin x

so that the general solution to the ODE is

y=C_1e^x\cos x+C_2e^x\sin x+\dfrac13e^x\cos x\ln|\cos x|+\dfrac13xe^x\sin x
