Answer:

173.15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let L be the length of kite.

We have been given that a kite is stuck in 36-ft tree. The angle of elevation from the kite and the ground is 12.

We can see from our attachment that kite and tree form a right triangle. height of tree is opposite of angle of elevation and length of kite is hypotenuse.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of kite.

$sin(12)=\frac{36}{L}$

$L=\frac{36}{sin(12)}$

$L=\frac{36}{0.207911690818}$

$L=173.1504364105882792\approx 173.15$

Therefore, the length of kite is 173.15 ft.

) Use the Laplace transform to solve the following initial value problem: y′′−6y′+9y=0y(0)=4,y′(0)=2 Using Y for the Laplace tra

artcher [175]

Answer:

$y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y(s) be the Laplace transform Y=L{y(t)} of y(t)

Applying the Laplace transform to both sides of the differential equation and using the linearity of the transform, we get

L{y'' - 6y' + 9y} = L{0} = 0

(*) L{y''} - 6L{y'} + 9L{y} = 0 ; y(0)=4, y′(0)=2

Using the theorem of the Laplace transform for derivatives, we know that:

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-y(0)$

Replacing the initial values y(0)=4, y′(0)=2 we obtain

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-4s-2\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-4$

and our differential equation (*) gets transformed in the algebraic equation

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0$

Solving for Y(s) we get

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0\Rightarrow (s^2-6s+9)Y(s)-4s+22=0\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow Y(s)=\frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}$

Now, we brake down the rational expression of Y(s) into partial fractions

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4s-22}{(s-3)^2}=\frac{A}{s-3}+\frac{B}{(s-3)^2}$

The numerator of the addition at the right must be equal to 4s-22, so

A(s - 3) + B = 4s - 22

As - 3A + B = 4s - 22

we deduct from here

A = 4 and -3A + B = -22, so

A = 4 and B = -22 + 12 = -10

It means that

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

and

$\large\bf Y(s)=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

By taking the inverse Laplace transform on both sides and using the linearity of the inverse:

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}$

we know that

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}=e^{3t}$

and for the first translation property of the inverse Laplace transform

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=e^{3t}L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s^2}\right\}=e^{3t}t=te^{3t}$

and the solution of our differential equation is

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=\\\\4e^{3t}-10te^{3t}=2e^{3t}(2-5t)\\\\\boxed{y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)}$

Jessica purchased a DVD that was on sale for 12% off.

The sales tax in her county is 3%.

Let, y represent the original price of the DVD.

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we will form an algebraic expression, according to the given data.

So,

The original price of the DVD = y

Discount on the original price :

y * 12/100

=3y/25

Price after discount :

y - 3y/25

=25y - 3y/25

=22y/25

Sales tax amount :

22y/25 * 3/100

11y/25 * 3/50

=33y/1250

Final price including the sales tax :

22y/25 + 33y/1250

1100y + 33y/1250

1133y/1250

(This will be considered as the final result.)
