You know that
$DE+EF=DF
(x-4) + (2x+5) = (4x-8)
$

combine like terms $3x+1 = 4x-8
1 = x-8
x=9$

Find the value of x in the figure

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

x = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

$57 \degree + (x + 23) \degree = 180 \degree..(straight \: line \: \angle s) \\ (x + 80) \degree = 180 \degree \\ x + 80 = 180 \\ x = 180 - 80 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{x = 100}}$

Find a linear second-order differential equation f(x, y, y', y'') = 0 for which y = c1x + c2x3 is a two-parameter family of solu

Alisiya [41]

Let $y=C_1x+C_2x^3=C_1y_1+C_2y_2$ . Then $y_1$ and $y_2$ are two fundamental, linearly independent solution that satisfy

$f(x,y_1,{y_1}',{y_1}'')=0$
$f(x,y_2,{y_2}',{y_2}'')=0$

Note that ${y_1}'=1$ , so that $x{y_1}'-y_1=0$ . Adding $y''$ doesn't change this, since ${y_1}''=0$ .

So if we suppose

$f(x,y,y',y'')=y''+xy'-y=0$

then substituting $y=y_2$ would give

$6x+x(3x^2)-x^3=6x+2x^3\neq0$

To make sure everything cancels out, multiply the second degree term by $-\dfrac{x^2}3$ , so that

$f(x,y,y',y'')=-\dfrac{x^2}3y''+xy'-y$

Then if $y=y_1+y_2$ , we get

$-\dfrac{x^2}3(0+6x)+x(1+3x^2)-(x+x^3)=-2x^3+x+3x^3-x-x^3=0$

as desired. So one possible ODE would be

$-\dfrac{x^2}3y''+xy'-y=0\iff x^2y''-3xy'+3y=0$
