Consider the system of differential equations dxdt=−4ydydt=−4x. Convert this system to a second order differential equation in y

koban [17]

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=-4x\implies x=-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}$

Substituting this into the other ODE gives

$-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}=-4y\implies y''-16y=0$

Since $x(t)=-\dfrac14y'(t)$ , it follows that $x(0)=-\dfrac14y'(0)=4\implies y'(0)=-16$ . The ODE in $y$ has characteristic equation

$r^2-16=0$

with roots $r=\pm4$ , admitting the characteristic solution

$y_c=C_1e^{4t}+C_2e^{-4t}$

From the initial conditions we get

$y(0)=5\implies 5=C_1+C_2$

$y'(0)=16\implies-16=4C_1-4C_2$

$\implies C_1=\dfrac12,C_2=\dfrac92$

So we have

$\boxed{y(t)=\dfrac12e^{4t}+\dfrac92e^{-4t}}$

Take the derivative and multiply it by -1/4 to get the solution for $x(t)$ :

$-\dfrac14y'(t)=\boxed{x(t)=-\dfrac12e^{4t}+\dfrac92e^{-4t}}$

What is the solution to the inequality

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

p > 5 and p <-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you first need to isolate p.

First add 6 on both sides of the equation:

$-6 + |2p+3| >7\\\\(+6) -6 + |2p+3| >7 +6\\\\2p + 3 > 13$

Then subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$2p+3-3>13-3\\\\2p > 10\\$

The divide both sides by 2.

$\dfrac{2p}{2}>\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\p>5$

Another solution is possible because of the absolute value.

If $|2p+3|>13$

Then $|2p+3|$

<em>Thus we can solve the second solution:</em>

$|2p+3|$

$2p+3$

Isolate P again by subtracting both sides by 3

$2p+3-3$

$2p$

Then divide both sides by 2:

$\dfrac{2p}{2}$

$p$

Determine whether the function f(x)=3x^4 is even or odd

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A) The function is even because f(x) = f(-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you graph the points it comes out as an even U like shape that couldn't happen unless x and -x where equal
