Answer:

First we write y and its derivatives as power series:

y=∑n=0∞anxn⟹y′=∑n=1∞nanxn−1⟹y′′=∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2

Next, plug into differential equation:

(x+2)y′′+xy′−y=0

(x+2)∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2+x∑n=1∞nanxn−1−∑n=0∞anxn=0

x∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2+2∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−2+x∑n=1∞nanxn−1−∑n=0∞anxn=0

Move constants inside of summations:

∑n=2∞x⋅n(n−1)anxn−2+∑n=2∞2⋅n(n−1)anxn−2+∑n=1∞x⋅nanxn−1−∑n=0∞anxn=0

∑n=2∞n(n−1)anxn−1+∑n=2∞2n(n−1)anxn−2+∑n=1∞nanxn−∑n=0∞anxn=0

Change limits so that the exponents for  x  are the same in each summation:

∑n=1∞(n+1)nan+1xn+∑n=0∞2(n+2)(n+1)an+2xn+∑n=1∞nanxn−∑n=0∞anxn=0

Pull out any terms from sums, so that each sum starts at same lower limit  (n=1)

∑n=1∞(n+1)nan+1xn+4a2+∑n=1∞2(n+2)(n+1)an+2xn+∑n=1∞nanxn−a0−∑n=1∞anxn=0

Combine all sums into a single sum:

4a2−a0+∑n=1∞(2(n+2)(n+1)an+2+(n+1)nan+1+(n−1)an)xn=0

Now we must set each coefficient, including constant term  =0 :

4a2−a0=0⟹4a2=a0

2(n+2)(n+1)an+2+(n+1)nan+1+(n−1)an=0

We would usually let  a0  and  a1  be arbitrary constants. Then all other constants can be expressed in terms of these two constants, giving us two linearly independent solutions. However, since  a0=4a2 , I’ll choose  a1  and  a2  as the two arbitrary constants. We can still express all other constants in terms of  a1  and/or  a2 .

an+2=−(n+1)nan+1+(n−1)an2(n+2)(n+1)

a3=−(2⋅1)a2+0a12(3⋅2)=−16a2=−13!a2

a4=−(3⋅2)a3+1a22(4⋅3)=0=04!a2

a5=−(4⋅3)a4+2a32(5⋅4)=15!a2

a6=−(5⋅4)a5+3a42(6⋅5)=−26!a2

We see a pattern emerging here:

an=(−1)(n+1)n−4n!a2

This can be proven by mathematical induction. In fact, this is true for all  n≥0 , except for  n=1 , since  a1  is an arbitrary constant independent of  a0  (and therefore independent of  a2 ).

Plugging back into original power series for  y , we get:

y=a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+a4x4+a5x5+⋯

y=4a2+a1x+a2x2−13!a2x3+04!a2x4+15!a2x5−⋯

y=a1x+a2(4+x2−13!x3+04!x4+15!x5−⋯)

Notice that the expression following constant  a2  is  =4+  a power series (starting at  n=2 ). However, if we had the appropriate  x -term, we would have a power series starting at  n=0 . Since the other independent solution is simply  y1=x,  then we can let  a1=c1−3c2,   a2=c2 , and we get:

y=(c1−3c2)x+c2(4+x2−13!x3+04!x4+15!x5−⋯)

y=c1x+c2(4−3x+x2−13!x3+04!x4+15!x5−⋯)

y=c1x+c2(−0−40!+0−31!x−2−42!x2+3−43!x3−4−44!x4+5−45!x5−⋯)

y=c1x+c2∑n=0∞(−1)n+1n−4n!xn

GIven that GR= x+5 and GP= 2x-3 which expression below calculates the perimeter of this gate? (x+5) + (2x-3) (x+5) + (2x-3) 2(x+
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

P = 2(x + 5) + 2(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that GR= x+5 and GP= 2x-3 which expression below calculates the perimeter of this gate?

The shape of the gate is rectangular.

Hence, the Perimeter of a rectangle (the gate) = 2L + 2W

Where :

L = GR = x + 5

W = GP = 2x - 3

Hence,the perimeter of the gate is

P = 2(x + 5) + 2(2x - 3)
