A monomial is a polynomial with 1 term

ur monomial is C. 4....because it has 1 term

A and D have 2 terms...so they are binomials
B has 3 terms, so it is a trinomial

Find the missing side

LiRa [457]

Answer:

-2.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Is a right angle triangle

We apply SOHCAHTOA

SOH is sin=Opposite divided by Hypotenuse

CAH is cos=Adjacent divided by Hypotenuse

TOA is tan=Opposite divided by Adjacent

so in this case,cos is the right thing to use

Therefore,x=adjacent

15=Hypotenuse

angle=52°

Cos(52)=x÷15

making x the subject,

x=15cos(52)

x= -2.44

Help find the measure of b

emmainna [20.7K]

b= 81 degrees

Explanation:

A straight line is 180 degrees.

180 - 99 = 81

All the angles combined should be equal to 360, forming a circle.

Solve the initial value problem 2ty" + 10ty' + 8y = 0, for t > 0, y(1) = 1, y'(1) = 0.

Eva8 [605]

I think you meant to write

$2t^2y''+10ty'+8y=0$

which is an ODE of Cauchy-Euler type. Let $y=t^m$ . Then

$y'=mt^{m-1}$

$y''=m(m-1)t^{m-2}$

Substituting $y$ and its derivatives into the ODE gives

$2m(m-1)t^m+10mt^m+8t^m=0$

Divide through by $t^m$ , which we can do because $t\neq0$ :

$2m(m-1)+10m+8=2m^2+8m+8=2(m+2)^2=0\implies m=-2$

Since this root has multiplicity 2, we get the characteristic solution

$y_c=C_1t^{-2}+C_2t^{-2}\ln t$

If you're not sure where the logarithm comes from, scroll to the bottom for a bit more in-depth explanation.

With the given initial values, we find

$y(1)=1\implies1=C_1$

$y'(1)=0\implies0=-2C_1+C_2\implies C_2=2$

so that the particular solution is

$\boxed{y(t)=t^{-2}+2t^{-2}\ln t}$

# # #

Under the hood, we're actually substituting $t=e^u$ , so that $u=\ln t$ . When we do this, we need to account for the derivative of $y$ wrt the new variable $u$ . By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1t\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}$

Since $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}$ is a function of $t$ , we can treat $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}$ in the same way, so denote this by $f(t)$ . By the quotient rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\left[\dfrac ft\right]=\dfrac{t\frac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dt}-f}{t^2}$

and by the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1t\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm du}$

where

$\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm du}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm du}\left[\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\right]=\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}$

so that

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}-\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}}{t^2}=\dfrac1{t^2}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}-\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\right)$

Plug all this into the original ODE to get a new one that is linear in $u$ with constant coefficients:

$2t^2\left(\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}-\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm du}}{t^2}\right)+10t\left(\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}}t\right)+8y=0$

$2y''+8y'+8y=0$

which has characteristic equation

$2r^2+8r+8=2(r+2)^2=0$

and admits the characteristic solution

$y_c(u)=C_1e^{-2u}+C_2ue^{-2u}$

Finally replace $u=\ln t$ to get the solution we found earlier,

$y_c(t)=C_1t^{-2}+C_2t^{-2}\ln t$
