AB is the longest side, so ∠C is the largest angle.
use law of cosine: 16²=9²+12²-2*9*12cosC
216cosC=81+144-256=-31
cosC=-0.14352
C≈98

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle in ΔABC = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side in the given ΔABC is AB

And, The angle opposite to the longest side is largest

⇒ ∠C is the largest angle. in the ΔABC

So, we need to find the measure of ∠C

Now, Using law of cosine in the given ΔABC :

⇒ 16² = 9² + 12² - 2 × 9 × 12·cos C

⇒ 216·cos C = 81 + 144 - 256

⇒ 216·cos C = -31

⇒ cos C = -0.14352

⇒ m∠C ≈ 98°

Hence, The measure of the largest angle in ΔABC = 98°

Consider the differential equation:

Wewaii [24]

(a) Take the Laplace transform of both sides:

$2y''(t)+ty'(t)-2y(t)=14$

$\implies 2(s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0))-(Y(s)+sY'(s))-2Y(s)=\dfrac{14}s$

where the transform of $ty'(t)$ comes from

$L[ty'(t)]=-(L[y'(t)])'=-(sY(s)-y(0))'=-Y(s)-sY'(s)$

This yields the linear ODE,

$-sY'(s)+(2s^2-3)Y(s)=\dfrac{14}s$

Divides both sides by $-s$ :

$Y'(s)+\dfrac{3-2s^2}sY(s)=-\dfrac{14}{s^2}$

Find the integrating factor:

$\displaystyle\int\frac{3-2s^2}s\,\mathrm ds=3\ln|s|-s^2+C$

Multiply both sides of the ODE by $e^{3\ln|s|-s^2}=s^3e^{-s^2}$ :

$s^3e^{-s^2}Y'(s)+(3s^2-2s^4)e^{-s^2}Y(s)=-14se^{-s^2}$

The left side condenses into the derivative of a product:

$\left(s^3e^{-s^2}Y(s)\right)'=-14se^{-s^2}$

Integrate both sides and solve for $Y(s)$ :

$s^3e^{-s^2}Y(s)=7e^{-s^2}+C$

$Y(s)=\dfrac{7+Ce^{s^2}}{s^3}$

(b) Taking the inverse transform of both sides gives

$y(t)=\dfrac{7t^2}2+C\,L^{-1}\left[\dfrac{e^{s^2}}{s^3}\right]$

I don't know whether the remaining inverse transform can be resolved, but using the principle of superposition, we know that $\frac{7t^2}2$ is one solution to the original ODE.

$y(t)=\dfrac{7t^2}2\implies y'(t)=7t\implies y''(t)=7$

Substitute these into the ODE to see everything checks out:

$2\cdot7+t\cdot7t-2\cdot\dfrac{7t^2}2=14$

I need help... Can someone help.<br> If x equals 7, what does y equal?<br> x = 7 y = ?<br> 6x = 7y

klemol [59]

Y=6. you would replace x with 7 in the equation.
6(7) = 7y
42=7y
6=y
