Let us say that:

x = cost of shorts

y = cost of slacks

z = cost of sports coat

 

From the given statements, we can create the following equations:

eqtn 1: 3 x + y = 10.96

eqtn 2:  7 x + 2 y + z = 30.40

eqtn 3:  4 x + z = 14.45

 

Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:

y = 10.96 – 3 x                    --> eqtn 4

 

Rewrite eqtn 3 explicit to z:

z = 14.45 – 4x                     --> eqtn 5

 

Plug in the values of y (eqtn 4) and z (eqtn 5) to eqtn 2:

7 x + 2 (10.96 – 3 x) + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

7 x + 21.92 – 6 x + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40

- 3 x + 36.37 = 30.40

- 3 x = - 5.97

x = 1.99

 

Eqtn 4:

y = 10.96 – 3 x   

y = 10.96 – 3 (1.99)

y = 4.99

 

Eqtn 5:

z = 14.45 – 4x

z = 14.45 – 4 (1.99)

z = 6.49

 

 

Therefore each shirt cost $1.99, each slacks cost $4.99, and each sports coat cost $6.49.

What is the answer to x+y=3​
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

(x+y)² =(x+y)(x+y)    Then you FOIL (First, outer, inner, last)

(x+y)² =(x+y)(x+y) = xx + xy + xy + yy [and when you combine like terms] = x² + 2xy + y²

(x+y)3 = (x² + 2xy + y²)(x+y) Then you FOIL (First, outer, inner, last)

(x+y)3 = (x² + 2xy + y²)(x+y) = x2x +2xxy + xy2 + x2y + 2xyy + y2y [and when you combine like terms] = x3 + 3x2y+ 3xy2 + y3

Use the laplace transform to solve the given initial-value problem. y' 5y = e4t, y(0) = 2
Basile [38]

The Laplace transform of the given initial-value problem

y' 5y = e^{4t}, y(0) = 2 is  mathematically given as

y(t)=\frac{1}{9} e^{4 t}+\frac{17}{9} e^{-5 t}

<h3>What is the Laplace transform of the given initial-value problem? y' 5y = e4t, y(0) = 2?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the problem is  mathematically given as

&\text { Sol:- } \quad y^{\prime}+s y=e^{4 t}, y(0)=2 \\\\&\text { Taking Laplace transform of (1) } \\\\&\quad L\left[y^{\prime}+5 y\right]=\left[\left[e^{4 t}\right]\right. \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad L\left[y^{\prime}\right]+5 L[y]=\frac{1}{s-4} \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad s y(s)-y(0)+5 y(s)=\frac{1}{s-4} \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad(s+5) y(s)=\frac{1}{s-4}+2 \\\\&\Rightarrow \quad y(s)=\frac{1}{s+5}\left[\frac{1}{s-4}+2\right]=\frac{2 s-7}{(s+5)(s-4)}\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}&\text { Let } \frac{2 s-7}{(s+5)(s-4)}=\frac{a_{0}}{s-4}+\frac{a_{1}}{s+5} \\&\Rightarrow 2 s-7=a_{0}(s+s)+a_{1}(s-4)\end{aligned}

put $s=-s \Rightarrow a_{1}=\frac{17}{9}$

\begin{aligned}\text { put } s &=4 \Rightarrow a_{0}=\frac{1}{9} \\\Rightarrow \quad y(s) &=\frac{1}{9(s-4)}+\frac{17}{9(s+s)}\end{aligned}

In conclusion, Taking inverse Laplace tranoform

L^{-1}[y(s)]=\frac{1}{9} L^{-1}\left[\frac{1}{s-4}\right]+\frac{17}{9} L^{-1}\left[\frac{1}{s+5}\right]$ \\\\

y(t)=\frac{1}{9} e^{4 t}+\frac{17}{9} e^{-5 t}
