\begin{gathered} y-24=\frac{8}{3}(x-2011) \\ \text{There will be 48 horses in 2020 (option A)} \end{gathered}Explanation:

The initial number of horses = 24

year = 2011

Coordinates (2011, 24)

when the number of horses became 32, year was 2014

Coordinates (2014, 32)

We find the slope = rate of change

slope = change in number of horses/change in number of years

slope = (32-24)/(2014-2011)

slope = 8/3

The point slope formula:

\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ U\sin gpoint\colon x_1=2011,y_1=24 \end{gathered}y-24=\frac{8}{3}(x-2011)

The number of horses in year 2020

using points: (2011, 24) and (2020, y), we equate with the slope since it is constant for any two points on this model.

8/3 = (y - 24)/(2020 - 2011)

8/3 = (y - 24)/9

cross multiply:

8(9) = 3(y - 24)

72 = 3y - 72

72 + 72 = 3y

144 = 3y

144/3 = 3y/3

y = 48

Hence, there will be 48horses in 2020 (option A)

Use the method of reduction of order to find a second independent solution of the given differential equation. t2y'' + 3ty' + y
Charra [1.4K]

I assume you mean y_1=t^{-1}, and not y_1=t-1, since this doesn't satisfy the ODE.

Assume a second solution of the form y_2=vy_1, where v is a function of t. Then

{y_2}'=v'y_1+v{y_1}'

{y_2}''=v''y_1+2v'{y_1}'+v{y_1}''

Substituting into the ODE gives

t^2\left(\dfrac{v''}t-\dfrac{2v'}{t^2}+\dfrac{2v}{t^3}\right)+3t\left(\dfrac{v'}t-\dfrac v{t^2}\right)+\dfrac vt=0

\implies tv''+v'=0

\implies(tv')'=0

\implies tv'=C

\implies v'=\dfrac Ct

\implies v=C_1\ln|t|+C_2

\implies y_2=\dfrac{\ln t}t

where we omit the second term because it's already accounted for by y_1.

Jose is a botanist studying production of coconuts by two different groups of his
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: 132

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that Group 1 of trees produced 25 percent more coconuts than Group 2 did and that Group 1 produced 165 coconuts, the number of coconuts that Group 2 produce will be:

= [100 / (100 + 25)] × 165

= 100/125 × 165

= 0.8 × 165

= 132

Group 2 produced 132 coconuts.

What is the first quartile of this data set
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

C:12

Step-by-step explanation:

should be 13.5

The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest number and the median of the data set.

so the middle number of 10,11,12,15,17,19 is 13.5   since 12+15=27/2=13.5

the closest answer choice is C! Hope this helped!

The sum of 5 consecutive numbers is 200. What is the smallest number?​
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is 44!

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how...

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)=200

5x+20=200  (minus 20 on both sides to get 5x by itself)

5x=180  (divide both sides by 5 to get just x)

x=36

5th number - x+8=36+8=44 (simple substitution and addition)

I HOPE THIS HELPS!
