Answer:

x=−20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by Step Solution:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

x/5-(-4)=0

Step by step solution :

Simplify —

Equation at the end of step

— - -4 = 0

STEP

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :

-4 -4 • 5

-4 = —— = ——————

1 5

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x - (-4 • 5) x + 20

———————————— = ——————

5 5

Equation at the end of step

x + 20

—————— = 0

STEP

When a fraction equals zero

3.1 When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

x+20

———— • 5 = 0 • 5

Now, on the left hand side, the 5 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

x+20 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

3.2 Solve : x+20 = 0

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation :

x = -20

One solution was found :

x = -20

Answer:

x=-4.5 or -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to isolate x to do this you add 5 to both sides which then gives you -2x=9 the next step is to divide by negative 2 which would give you -9/2 which simplifies to -4.5.

2032 base four expanded notation

BabaBlast [244]

Assuming 2032 is itself a number in base 4, you have

$2032_4=2\times4^3+3\times4^1+2\times4^0$

Or, if you mean to ask about converting 2032 into base 4, you have

$\dfrac{2032}4=508$ with remainder 0, which means the "ones" digit is 0.
$\dfrac{508}4=127$ with remainder 0, which means the "tens" digit is also 0.
$\dfrac{127}4=31$ with remainder 3, so the "hundreds" digit is 3.
$\dfrac{31}4=7$ with remainder 3, so the "thousands" digit is also 3.
$\dfrac74=1$ with remainder 3, so the next digit is also 3.
$\dfrac14=0$ with remainder 1, so the next (and final) digit is 1.

So, $2032_{10}=133300_4$ .

15.30 find the inverse laplace transform of: 1. (a) f1(s) = 6s 2 8s 3 s(s 2 2s 5) 2. (b) f2(s) = s 2 5s 6 (s 1) 2 (s 4) 3. (c) f

EleoNora [17]

The solution of the inverse Laplace transforms is mathematically given as

$f_{1}(t)=e^{-t}\sin (2 t)$

$f_{2}(t)=\frac{7}{9} e^{-t}+\frac{2}{3} e^{-t}+\frac{2}{9} e^{-4 t}$

$f_{3}(t)=2 e^{-t}-2 e^{-2 t} \cos (2 t)-e^{-2 t} \sin (2 t)$

<h3>What is the inverse Laplace transform?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the function is mathematically given as

$F_{1}(s)=\frac{6 s^{2}+8 s+3}{s\left(s^{2}+2 s+5\right)}$

By Applying the Partial fractions method

$\frac{6 s^{2}+8 s+3}{s\left(s^{2}+2 s+5\right)}=\frac{A}{s}+\frac{B s+C}{s^{2}+2 s+5}$

$6 s^{2}+8 s+3=A\left(s^{2}+2 s+5\right)+(B s+C) s$

$\begin{aligned}&3=5 A \\&A=\frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$

Considers s^2 coefficient

$\begin{aligned}&6=A+B \\&B=6 \cdot A \\&B=\frac{27}{5}\end{aligned}$

Consider s coeffici ent

$\begin{aligned}&8=2 A+C \\&C=8-2 A \\&C=\frac{34}{5}\end{aligned}$

Putting these values into the previous equation

$&F_{1}(s)=\frac{3}{5 s}+\frac{27 s+34}{5\left(s^{2}+2 s+5\right)} \\\\&F_{1}(s)=\frac{3}{5 s}+\frac{27(s+1)}{5\left((s+1)^{2}+4\right)}+\frac{7 \times 2}{10\left((s+1)^{2}+4\right)}$

By taking Inverse Laplace Transforms

$f_{1}(t)=\frac{3}{5}+\frac{27}{5} e^{-t} \cos (2t) + \frac{7}{10}\\\\$

$f_{1}(t)=e^{-t}\sin (2 t)$

For B

$F_{2}(s)=\frac{s^{2}+5 s+6}{(s+4)(s+1)^{2}}$

By Applying Partial fractions method

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{s^{2}+5 s+6}{(s+4)(s+1)^{2}}=\frac{A}{s+1}+\frac{B}{(s+1)^{2}}+\frac{C}{s+4} \\\\&s^{2}+5 s+6=A(s+1)(s+4)+B(s+4)+C(s+1)^{2}\end{aligned}$

at s=-1

$1-5+6=3 B \\\\B=\frac{2}{3}$

at s=-4

$&16-20+6=9 C \\\\&9 C=2 \\\\&C=\frac{2}{9}$

at s^2 coefficient

1=A+C

A=1-C

A=7/9

inputting Variables into the Previous Equation

$\begin{aligned}&F_{2}(s)=\frac{A}{s+1}+\frac{B}{(s+1)^{2}}+\frac{C}{s+4} \\&F_{2}(s)=\frac{7}{9(s+1)}+\frac{2}{3(s+1)^{2}}+\frac{2}{9(s+4)}\end{aligned}$

By taking Inverse Laplace Transforms

$f_{2}(t)=\frac{7}{9} e^{-t}+\frac{2}{3} e^{-t}+\frac{2}{9} e^{-4 t}$

For C

$F_{3}(s)=\frac{10}{(s+1)\left(s^{2}+4 s+8\right)}$

Using the strategy of Partial Fractions

$\frac{10}{(s+1)\left(s^{2}+4 s+8\right)}=\frac{A}{s+1}+\frac{B s+C}{s^{2}+4 s+8}$

$10=A\left(s^{2}+4 s+8\right)+(B s+C)(s+1)$

S=-1

10=(1-4+8) A

A=10/5

A=2

Consider constants

10=8 A+C

C=10-8 A

C=10-16

C=-6

Considers s^2 coefficient

0=A+B

B=-A

B=-2

inputting Variables into the Previous Equation

$&F_{3}(s)=\frac{2}{s+1}+\frac{-2 s-6}{\left((s+2)^{2}+4\right)} \\\\&F_{3}(s)=\frac{2}{s+1}-\frac{2(s+2)}{\left((s+2)^{2}+4\right)}-\frac{2}{\left((s+2)^{2}+4\right)}$

Inverse Laplace Transforms

$f_{3}(t)=2 e^{-t}-2 e^{-2 t} \cos (2 t)-e^{-2 t} \sin (2 t)$
