Answer:

4 people name chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first understand the given information.

The survey shows that 40 percent of a finite number of people name chocolate as their favorite flavor of ice cream. Because the survey is reporting a percentage, then 40% means that from 100 people 40 people name chocolate, while the others name a different type of flavor.

Dividing the total of people (100) by the ones who name chocolate (40) then we have:

100/40 = 2.5

Through the above equation we are actually expressing the following:

Total people = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)

Using this equation if we have now 12 people:

12 = 2.5 * (people who name chocolate flavor)

12/2.5 = (people who name chocolate flavor)

4.8 = people who chose chocolate flavor

Because we can't have 0.8 of a person, then if we have a sample of 12 people, we will expect that 4 of them name chocolate.

Consider the initial value problem:

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$\left \{ {{u'=v} \atop {v'=5v-6u-5\sin(2t)}} \right. \\u(0)=-5;u'(0)=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given initial value problem is;

$y''-5y'+6y=-5\sin(2t)---(1)\\y(0)=-5,y'(0)=2$

Let

$u(t)=y(t)----(2)\\v(t)=y'(t)----(3)$

Differentiating both sides of equation (1) with respect to $t$ , we obtain:

$u'(t)=y'(t)---(4)\\ \\\implies u'(t)=v(t)---(5)$

Differentiating both sides of equation (2) with respect to $t$ gives:

$v'(t)=y''(t)----(6)$

From equation (1),

$y''=5y'-6y-5\sin(2t)\\y''=5v(t)-6u(t)-5\sin(2t)\\\implies v'(t)=5v(t)-6u(t)-5\sin(2t)----(7)$

Putting t=0 into equation (2) yields

$u(0)=y(0)\\\implies u(0)=-5$

Also putting t=0 into equation (3)

$u'(0)=y'(0)\\u'(0)=2$

The system of first order equations is:

$\left \{ {{u'=v} \atop {v'=5v-6u-5\sin(2t)}} \right. \\u(0)=-5;u'(0)=2$
