a = 3, b= - 4 and c = - 4

expand the left side using FOIL

(2x + 1)(ax + b) = 2ax² + 2bx + ax + b = 2ax² + x(2b + a) + b

compare the coefficients of expressions on left and right sides.

compare 2ax² + x(2b +a) + b with 6x² - 5x + c

coefficients of x² terms → 2a = 6 ⇒ a = 3

coefficients of x terms → 2b + a = - 5 → 2b + 3 = - 5 → 2b = - 8 ⇒ b = - 4

constant terms c = b = - 4

Solve the following equation for D. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not. fD - 7 = q^2

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

$\displaystyle D=\frac{q^2+7}{f}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation Solving</u>

We are given the equation:

$fD - 7 = q^2$

It's required to solve the equation for D. All letters must preserve their capitalization.

We must isolate the letter D by removing from the left side all the terms and coefficients that surround it.

Adding 7:

$fD = q^2+7$

Dividing by f:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle D=\frac{q^2+7}{f}}$

What does it mean for a differential equation to be autonomous?

andrew11 [14]

The term "autonomous" refers to an ordinary differential equation that relates the derivatives of the dependent variable as a function *only* of the dependent variable. In other words, the ODE doesn't explicitly depend on the independent variable.

Examples:

$y'=y^2-1$ is autonomous

$y'=y^2-1+x$ is *not* autonomous
