Suppose you have developed a scale that indicates the brightness of sunlight. Each category in the table is 4 times brighter tha

n the next lower category. For example, a day that is dazzling is 4 times brighter than a day that is radiant. How many times brighter is a radiant day than a dim day?

According to the developed scale, a radiant day is <u>16 times</u> brighter than a dim day.

We assume the brightness of a dim day to be x.

According to the developed scale, the brightness of an illuminated day will be 4 times that of a dim day.

Thus, the brightness of an illuminated day = 4*the brightness of a dim day = 4x.

According to the developed scale, the brightness of a radiant day will be 4 times that of an illuminated day.

Thus, the brightness of a radiant day = 4*the brightness of an illuminated day = 4*4x = 16x.

Now, the ratio of the brightness of a radiant day to the brightness of a dim day = 16x:x = 16x/x = 16:1.

Thus, according to the developed scale, a radiant day is <u>16 times</u> brighter than a dim day.

Solve the given initial-value problem. x^2y'' + xy' + y = 0, y(1) = 1, y'(1) = 8
Kitty [74]
Substitute z=\ln x, so that

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dz}\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dz}

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dz}\right]=-\dfrac1{x^2}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dz}+\dfrac1x\left(\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dz^2}\right)=\dfrac1{x^2}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dz^2}-\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dz}\right)

Then the ODE becomes


x^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}+x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+y=0\implies\left(\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dz^2}-\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dz}\right)+\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dz}+y=0
\implies\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dz^2}+y=0

which has the characteristic equation r^2+1=0 with roots at r=\pm i. This means the characteristic solution for y(z) is

y_C(z)=C_1\cos z+C_2\sin z

and in terms of y(x), this is

y_C(x)=C_1\cos(\ln x)+C_2\sin(\ln x)

From the given initial conditions, we find

y(1)=1\implies 1=C_1\cos0+C_2\sin0\implies C_1=1
y'(1)=8\implies 8=-C_1\dfrac{\sin0}1+C_2\dfrac{\cos0}1\implies C_2=8

so the particular solution to the IVP is

y(x)=\cos(\ln x)+8\sin(\ln x)

<h2>Answer: x = 6</h2>

* = things that have changed or are being changed

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

1. rearrange terms

*4 4  +  3 *  =  5  +  2  +  2 0

*3x + 44* = 5x + 2 + 20

2. combine like terms

3 + 44 = *5x + 2* + 20

3 + 44 = *7x* + 20

3. Subtract  4 4  from both sides of the equation

3x + 44 = 7x + 20

3x + 44 *-44* = 7x + 20 *-44*

4. Simplify

(Subtract the numbers)

3x + *44 - 44* = 7x + 20 - 44

3x = 7x + 20 - 44

(Again)

3x = 7x + 20 *- 44*

3x = 7x - 24

5. Subtract  7  from both sides of the equation

3x = 7x - 24

3x *- 7x* = 7x - 24 *- 7x*

6.  Combine like terms

*3x - 7x* = 7x - 24 - 7x

*-4x* = 7x - 24 - 7x

(Again)

-4x = *7x* - 24 *- 7x*

-4x = - 24

7. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

-4x = - 24

\frac{-4x}{*-4*} = \frac{-24}{*-4*}

8. Simplify

(Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator)

* \frac{-4x}{-4} * = \frac{-24}{-4}

*x* = \frac{-24}{-4}

(Divide the numbers)

x = \frac{-24}{-4}

x = 6
