Can someone help me with this question? I seem to be getting a negative answer every time :(

Substitute 4 for y. Then -3x^2 + 16 = 52.

Solve for x. Subtract 16 from both sides, obtaining -3x^2 = 36.

Divide both sides by -3, obtaining x^2 = -12. This last result makes no sense, as no square of a real number could be negative. Probably this is where you're ":getting a negative answer."

If imaginary answers were allowed, then x = i*√12 = i*2√3 or x = -i*2√3.

You get a negative value for x² because there are no real-number solutions to the set of equations. (The graphs do not intersect.)

Solve for x^2:

... x^2 = (y^2 -52)/3 = (16-52)/3) = -12

... x = 2√(-3) = ±i·2√3

Complex numbers cannot be compared to zero. (x > 0 has no meaning in this context.) It seems possible you want the complex solution with the positive imaginary part: x = i·2√3

(10 pts) (a) (2 pts) What is the difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem? (b) (2 pts)
laiz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem is that an initial value problem is a differential equation which has condition(s) for optimization, such as a given value of the function at some point in the domain.

(B) The difference between a particular solution and a general solution to an equation is that a particular solution is any specific figure that can satisfy the equation while a general solution is a statement that comprises all particular solutions of the equation.

(C) Example of a second order linear ODE:

M(t)Y"(t) + N(t)Y'(t) + O(t)Y(t) = K(t)

The equation will be homogeneous if K(t)=0 and heterogeneous if K(t)\neq 0

Example of a second order nonlinear ODE:

Y=-3K(Y){2}

(D) Example of a nonlinear fourth order ODE:

K^4(x) - \beta f [x, k(x)] = 0
