Temp1 = 60
Temp2 = 75
Temp2 - Temp1 = 15

Difference = (Temp2 - Temp1) / Temp1
Difference = 15 / 60 = 1 / 4 = 0.25
Percentage difference = difference * 100% = 0.25 * 100% = 25%

Name an event that would be measured in days

Well, things like sporting events, or freak storms are measured in days, or weeks. Depends. For weather, it could be hurricanes, tornado's, or even large fires(not quite weather, but could be)

The new number, 550, is 200 more than the original number. What is the approximate percent change?

Volgvan

Answer:150

Step-by-step explanation: you see what makes 550 200 plus what 350 then it equal 550 then you see 200 plus what equals 350 150 so that is a 150%

Apply the method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution to the following system.wing system.

jarptica [38.1K]

$y''-y'+y=\sin x$

The corresponding homogeneous ODE has characteristic equation $r^2-r+1=0$ with roots at $r=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt3}2$ , thus admitting the characteristic solution

$y_c=C_1e^x\cos\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x+C_2e^x\sin\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x$

For the particular solution, assume one of the form

$y_p=a\sin x+b\cos x$

${y_p}'=a\cos x-b\sin x$

${y_p}''=-a\sin x-b\cos x$

Substituting into the ODE gives

$(-a\sin x-b\cos x)-(a\cos x-b\sin x)+(a\sin x+b\cos x)=\sin x$

$-b\cos x+a\sin x=\sin x$

$\implies a=1,b=0$

Then the general solution to this ODE is

$\boxed{y(x)=C_1e^x\cos\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x+C_2e^x\sin\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x+\sin x}$

$y''-3y'+2y=e^x\sin x$

$\implies r^2-3r+2=(r-1)(r-2)=0\implies r=1,r=2$

$\implies y_c=C_1e^x+C_2e^{2x}$

Assume a solution of the form

$y_p=e^x(a\sin x+b\cos x)$

${y_p}'=e^x((a+b)\cos x+(a-b)\sin x)$

${y_p}''=2e^x(a\cos x-b\sin x)$

Substituting into the ODE gives

$2e^x(a\cos x-b\sin x)-3e^x((a+b)\cos x+(a-b)\sin x)+2e^x(a\sin x+b\cos x)=e^x\sin x$

$-e^x((a+b)\cos x+(a-b)\sin x)=e^x\sin x$

$\implies\begin{cases}-a-b=0\\-a+b=1\end{cases}\implies a=-\dfrac12,b=\dfrac12$

so the solution is

$\boxed{y(x)=C_1e^x+C_2e^{2x}-\dfrac{e^x}2(\sin x-\cos x)}$

$y''+y=x\cos(2x)$

$r^2+1=0\implies r=\pm i$

$\implies y_c=C_1\cos x+C_2\sin x$

Assume a solution of the form

$y_p=(ax+b)\cos(2x)+(cx+d)\sin(2x)$

${y_p}''=-4(ax+b-c)\cos(2x)-4(cx+a+d)\sin(2x)$

Substituting into the ODE gives

$(-4(ax+b-c)\cos(2x)-4(cx+a+d)\sin(2x))+((ax+b)\cos(2x)+(cx+d)\sin(2x))=x\cos(2x)$

$-(3ax+3b-4c)\cos(2x)-(3cx+3d+4a)\sin(2x)=x\cos(2x)$

$\implies\begin{cases}-3a=1\\-3b+4c=0\\-3c=0\\-4a-3d=0\end{cases}\implies a=-\dfrac13,b=c=0,d=\dfrac49$

so the solution is

$\boxed{y(x)=C_1\cos x+C_2\sin x-\dfrac13x\cos(2x)+\dfrac49\sin(2x)}$
