Well

translates to

so
log5(x/2)=5 means 5^5=x/2, so 3125=x/2, so 6250=x
The factors of 697 or 6,9,7?
Shape: the form of an object
Outline: the line by which a figure or object is defined or bounded
Center: Point that is equal distances from any point of the circle
Spread: the measure of how far the numbers in a data set are away from the mean or the median
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

, so that

and we're left with the ODE linear in

:

Now suppose

has a power series expansion



Then the ODE can be written as


![\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}\bigg[n(n-1)a_n-(n-1)a_{n-1}\bigg]x^{n-2}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bn%5Cge2%7D%5Cbigg%5Bn%28n-1%29a_n-%28n-1%29a_%7Bn-1%7D%5Cbigg%5Dx%5E%7Bn-2%7D%3D0)
All the coefficients of the series vanish, and setting

in the power series forms for

and

tell us that

and

, so we get the recurrence

We can solve explicitly for

quite easily:

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

so that the solution to the ODE is

We also require the solution to satisfy

, which we can do easily by adding and subtracting a constant as needed:
Money is written out to the hundredths place, so when rounding to the nearest cent, round to the hundredths place. In 4.675, the 7 is in the hundredths place. The value to its right, 5, is greater than 4, so the 7 is rounded up to 8. So 4.675 to the nearest cent is 4.68
