Juan Ramirez sells suits in a major department store on weekends. He earns a commission of 5 percent on the first 10 suits, and

if he sells more than 10, he earns an additional 3 percent on the additional suits. Last weekend Juan sold 13 suits at a price of $250 each. What was his commission?

What is the solution of

loris [4]

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1-3x = x+3

Add 3x to each side

1-3x+3x = x+3x+3

1 = 4x+3

Subtract 3 from each side

1-3 = 4x+3-3

-2 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

-2/4 = 4x/4

-1/2 =x

Herman is standing on a ladder that is partly in a hole.He starts out on a rung that is 6 feet under ground ,climbs up 14 feet,t

fomenos

Well lets try using negatives and positives, negatives for underground positives for above. -6 + 14 = 8 then 8 - 11 = -3. When Herman finally stops climbing he is 3 feet below ground level.

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 50 meters per second. What is this speed in feet per second? At this speed, how

BigorU [14]

50m ≅164 ft (3s.f.)

50m/s≅164 ft/s

distance after 20s:

d=164 ft/s ⋅20s

=3280ft

Consider the differential equation y'' − y' − 20y = 0. Verify that the functions e−4x and e5x form a fundamental set of solution

KIM [24]

Answer:

Therefore $e^{-4x}$ and $e^{5x}$ are fundamental solution of the given differential equation.

Therefore $e^{-4x}$ and $e^{5x}$ are linearly independent, since $W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=9e^x\neq 0$

The general solution of the differential equation is

$y=c_1e^{-4x}+c_2e^{5x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given differential equation is

y''-y'-20y =0

Here P(x)= -1, Q(x)= -20 and R(x)=0

Let trial solution be $y=e^{mx}$

Then, $y'=me^{mx}$ and $y''=m^2e^{mx}$

$\therefore m^2e^{mx}-m e^{mx}-20e^{mx}=0$

$\Rightarrow m^2-m-20=0$

$\Rightarrow m^2-5m+4m-20=0$

$\Rightarrow m(m-5)+4(m-5)=0$

$\Rightarrow (m-5)(m+4)=0$

$\Rightarrow m=-4,5$

Therefore the complementary function is = $c_1e^{-4x}+c_2e^{5x}$

Therefore $e^{-4x}$ and $e^{5x}$ are fundamental solution of the given differential equation.

If $y_1$ and $y_2$ are the fundamental solution of differential equation, then

$W(y_1,y_2)=\left|\begin{array}{cc}y_1&y_2\\y'_1&y'_2\end{array}\right|\neq 0$

Then $y_1$ and $y_2$ are linearly independent.

$W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=\left|\begin{array}{cc}e^{-4x}&e^{5x}\\-4e^{-4x}&5e^{5x}\end{array}\right|$

$=e^{-4x}.5e^{5x}-e^{5x}.(-4e^{-4x})$

$=5e^x+4e^x$

$=9e^x\neq 0$

Therefore $e^{-4x}$ and $e^{5x}$ are linearly independent, since $W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=9e^x\neq 0$

Let the the particular solution of the differential equation is

$y_p=v_1e^{-4x}+v_2e^{5x}$

$\therefore v_1=\int \frac{-y_2R(x)}{W(y_1,y_2)} dx$

and

$\therefore v_2=\int \frac{y_1R(x)}{W(y_1,y_2)} dx$

Here $y_1= e^{-4x}$ , $y_2=e^{5x}$ , $W(e^{-4x},e^{5x})=9e^x$ ,and $R(x)=0$

$\therefore v_1=\int \frac{-e^{5x}.0}{9e^x}dx$

=0

and

$\therefore v_2=\int \frac{e^{5x}.0}{9e^x}dx$

=0

The the P.I = 0

The general solution of the differential equation is

$y=c_1e^{-4x}+c_2e^{5x}$
