Answer:

The cost of a ribeye steak dinner is $18.60.

The cost of a grilled salmon dinner is $9.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

let r be the cost of a ribeye steak dinner

let g be the cost of a grilled salmon dinner

Represent the two situations using equations:

12r + 39g = 575.53   (equation 1)

25r + 13g = 582.43   (equation 2)

The best method to use for this case is elimination, which is when you get rid of one of the variables by subtracting or adding.

Since the coefficients for "g" are 39 and 13, they can be eliminated if equation 2 was triple itself.

(25r + 13g = 582.43)  X 3

= 75r + 39g = 1747.29  (new equation 2)

Subtract "equation 1" from "new equation 2"

.   75r + 39g = 1747.29

<u>-   12r + 39g = 575.53</u>

.    63r + 0g = 1171.76    <=we only deal with "r" because 0g is nothing

.             63r = 1171.76    <=divide both sides by 63 to isolate r

.                 r = 18.60       <=rounded from 18.599...

The cost of a ribeye steak dinner is $18.60.

Use any one of the equations to solve for "g", the cost of grilled salmon dinners. I will use equation 1.

12r + 39g = 575.53

Substitute r = 18.6

12(18.6) + 39g = 575.53   <=only one variable now

223.2 + 39g = 575.53     <=subtract 223.2 from both sides

39g = 352.33             <=divide both sides by 39 to isolate g

g = 9.03  <=rounded from 9.0341...

The cost of a grilled salmon dinner is $9.03.

) Use the Laplace transform to solve the following initial value problem: y′′−6y′+9y=0y(0)=4,y′(0)=2 Using Y for the Laplace tra
artcher [175]

Answer:

y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y(s) be the Laplace transform Y=L{y(t)} of y(t)

Applying the Laplace transform to both sides of the differential equation and using the linearity of the transform, we get

L{y'' - 6y' + 9y} = L{0} = 0

(*) L{y''} - 6L{y'} + 9L{y} = 0 ; y(0)=4, y′(0)=2  

Using the theorem of the Laplace transform for derivatives, we know that:

\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-y(0)

Replacing the initial values y(0)=4, y′(0)=2 we obtain

\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-4s-2\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-4

and our differential equation (*) gets transformed in the algebraic equation

\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0

Solving for Y(s) we get

\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0\Rightarrow (s^2-6s+9)Y(s)-4s+22=0\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow Y(s)=\frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}

Now, we brake down the rational expression of Y(s) into partial fractions

\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4s-22}{(s-3)^2}=\frac{A}{s-3}+\frac{B}{(s-3)^2}

The numerator of the addition at the right must be equal to 4s-22, so

A(s - 3) + B = 4s - 22

As - 3A + B = 4s - 22

we deduct from here  

A = 4 and -3A + B = -22, so

A = 4 and B = -22 + 12 = -10

It means that

\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}

and

\large\bf Y(s)=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}

By taking the inverse Laplace transform on both sides and using the linearity of the inverse:

\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}

we know that

\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}=e^{3t}

and for the first translation property of the inverse Laplace transform

\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=e^{3t}L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s^2}\right\}=e^{3t}t=te^{3t}

and the solution of our differential equation is

\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=\\\\4e^{3t}-10te^{3t}=2e^{3t}(2-5t)\\\\\boxed{y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)}

Please help ASAP pleaseeeeeeeewwe
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

AS = 10\sqrt{41} \\WE = 20\\EN = 25\\Part D = 90 - 10\sqrt{41}

Step-by-step explanation:

AR = 50

AW = WR = EN = 25

RS = 40

RN = NS = WE = 20

AS=\sqrt{(AR)^2+(RS)^2}\\AS=\sqrt{(50)^2+(40)^2} \\AS=\sqrt{2500+1600} \\AS=\sqrt{4100} \\AS=\sqrt{41*100}\\AS = 10\sqrt{41}

AR + RS - AS = 50 + 40 - 10\sqrt{41} \\AR + RS - AS = 90 - 10\sqrt{41}\\AR + RS - AS = 10 (9 - \sqrt{41})
