I don't know what method is referred to in "section 4.3", but I'll suppose it's reduction of order and use that to find the exact solution. Take z=y', so that z'=y'' and we're left with the ODE linear in z:

y''-y'=0\implies z'-z=0\implies z=C_1e^x\implies y=C_1e^x+C_2

Now suppose y has a power series expansion

y=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n
\implies y'=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}na_nx^{n-1}
\implies y''=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}n(n-1)a_nx^{n-2}

Then the ODE can be written as

\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}n(n-1)a_nx^{n-2}-\sum_{n\ge1}na_nx^{n-1}=0

\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}n(n-1)a_nx^{n-2}-\sum_{n\ge2}(n-1)a_{n-1}x^{n-2}=0

\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}\bigg[n(n-1)a_n-(n-1)a_{n-1}\bigg]x^{n-2}=0

All the coefficients of the series vanish, and setting x=0 in the power series forms for y and y' tell us that y(0)=a_0 and y'(0)=a_1, so we get the recurrence

\begin{cases}a_0=a_0\\\\a_1=a_1\\\\a_n=\dfrac{a_{n-1}}n&\text{for }n\ge2\end{cases}

We can solve explicitly for a_n quite easily:

a_n=\dfrac{a_{n-1}}n\implies a_{n-1}=\dfrac{a_{n-2}}{n-1}\implies a_n=\dfrac{a_{n-2}}{n(n-1)}

and so on. Continuing in this way we end up with

a_n=\dfrac{a_1}{n!}

so that the solution to the ODE is

y(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\dfrac{a_1}{n!}x^n=a_1+a_1x+\dfrac{a_1}2x^2+\cdots=a_1e^x

We also require the solution to satisfy y(0)=a_0, which we can do easily by adding and subtracting a constant as needed:

y(x)=a_0-a_1+a_1+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\dfrac{a_1}{n!}x^n=\underbrace{a_0-a_1}_{C_2}+\underbrace{a_1}_{C_1}\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\frac{x^n}{n!}

PLEASE HELP<br> Type in expanded form. Use parentheses to indicate multiplication.<br><br> (2r)³
charle [14.2K]
It would be 8r^{3} because you have to multiply the exponent by each of the numbers exponents. you may not see it but 2 has a 1 as an exponent and so does r. 1 time 3 is 3 for each therefore each number now has an exponent of 3 and we got rid of the outside exponent. now all you have to do is simplify the 2 to the power of 3 which gives you 8 and that is all

Round to one decimal place (BRAINLIEST)
Semmy [17]

Answer:

4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric ratios to find the answer.

Firstly, we need to find the measure of angle theta. In order to do this, we will use triangle BAD.

From angle theta, the trigonometric ratio sine can be used:

sinθ = \frac{4.1}{5.3}

After we find the value, we take the inverse sine of it and the result is approximately 50.7 degrees.

Now, knowing that angles BAD and CAD are the same, we can solve for CD using trigonometric ratio sine.

sin50.7 = opposite/hypotenuse

sin50.7 = CD/5.5

sin50.7 * 5.5 = CD

4.3 ≈ CD
