sweet t has 2 orange picks for every five green. if there are 21 picks in all, how many picks are orange

1 answer:

3 0

21 picks
altogether (2x+5x)=21
7x=21
x=3
2*3=6 orange picks

or
x=orange, y = greens
x+y=21
x/y=2/5,----> y=5x/2
x+5x/2=21
2x/2+5x/2=21
7x/2=21
7x=42,
x=6 orange picks

Which of the following functions are solutions of the differential equation y'' + y = 3 sin x? (select all that apply)

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We must compute the derivatives and check if the equation is satisfied.

A. $y'=(3\sin x)'=3\cos x$ . Differentiate again to get $y''=(3\cos x)'=-3\sin x$ , then $y''+y=-3\sin x+3\sin x=0\neq 3\sin x$ so this choice of y doesn't solve the equation.

B. $y'=3\sin x+3x\cos x-5\cosx +5x\sin x=(5x+3)\sin x+(3x-5)\cos x$ and $y''=5\sin x+(5x+3)\cos x+3\cos x-(3x-5)\sin x=(10-3x)\sin x+(5x+6)\cos x$ , then $y''+y=10\sin x+6\cos x\neq 3\sin x$ so y is not a solution

C. $y'=\frac{-3}{2}\cos x+\frac{3}{2}x\sin x$ hence $y''=\frac{3}{2}\sin x+\frac{3}{2}\sin x+\frac{3}{2}x\cos x=3\sin x+\frac{3}{2}x\cos x$ . Then $y''+y=3\sin x+\frac{3}{2}x\cos x-\frac{3}{2}x\cos x=3\sin x$ so y is a solution.

D. $y'=-3\sin x$ and $y''=-3\cos x$ , then $y''+y=0$ thus y isn't a solution

E. $y'=\frac{3}{2}\sin x+\frac{3}{2}x\cos x$ hence $y''=\frac{3}{2}\cos x+\frac{3}{2}\cos x-\frac{3}{2}x\sin x=3\cos x-\frac{3}{2}x\cos x$ . Then $y''+y=3\cos x-\frac{3}{2}x\cos x-\frac{3}{2}x\cos x=3\cos x\neq 3\sin x$ then y is not a solution.
