The answer would be 15. 

An easy way to solve this would be, if you now that 25% is equal to 1/4, then what is 1/4 of 60? It would be 15. Hope this helps! :)

The expression y2 – 10y + 24 has a factor of y – 4. What is another factor of y2 – 10y + 24? y – 20 y – 14 y – 8 y – 6

Just for future reference always put ^ for exponents. The answer is y-6 though. 
(y-4)(y-6) create that trinomial. You can prove that by using the FOIL algorithm

D^2(y)/(dx^2)-16*k*y=9.6e^(4x) + 30e^x
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The solution depends on the value of k. To make things simple, assume k>0. The homogeneous part of the equation is

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}-16ky=0

and has characteristic equation

r^2-16k=0\implies r=\pm4\sqrt k

which admits the characteristic solution y_c=C_1e^{-4\sqrt kx}+C_2e^{4\sqrt kx}.

For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be y_p=ae^{4x}+be^x. Then

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y_p}{\mathrm dx^2}=16ae^{4x}+be^x

So you have

16ae^{4x}+be^x-16k(ae^{4x}+be^x)=9.6e^{4x}+30e^x
(16a-16ka)e^{4x}+(b-16kb)e^x=9.6e^{4x}+30e^x

This means

16a(1-k)=9.6\implies a=\dfrac3{5(1-k)}
b(1-16k)=30\implies b=\dfrac{30}{1-16k}

and so the general solution would be

y=C_1e^{-4\sqrt kx}+C_2e^{4\sqrt kx}+\dfrac3{5(1-k)}e^{4x}+\dfrac{30}{1-16k}e^x

Can someone please explain why x= -2! ASAP!!
bearhunter [10]
Because you add both negative x’s which is -2 and add the -6 in the right side so then it’s -2x=4
Divide and you get x=-2
