Jamie is 3 times as old as her sister Penny .In 2 years Jamie will be twice as old as Penny .How old are Jamie and Penny now

1 answer:

3 0

Well i think this is right;

If jamie is 3 times Pennys age, and in two years he is twice as old as her i would say she is 2 because; 2 * 3 = 6

2 years later Penny would be 4, because she was 2 at the time. And because Jamie was 6 he will become 8. That means he was three times her age. And then in two years twice his age.

So now Jamie is 8 and Penny is 4.
Hope that helps!

A sphere with a radius of 6cm has the same volume as a cylinder with a height of 4.5cm. What is the radius of the cylinder

yawa3891 [41]

Short answer: r = 8
Remark
The easiest way to do this is to solve the sphere's volume in terms of pi. When you do this, you can equate that to the formula for a cylinder and cancel the pi values.

Step One
Find the volume of the sphere.

Givens
r = 6 cm

Formula
V = (4/3) pi r^3

Sub and Solve
V = 4/3 pi * 6^3
V = 288 * pi

Step two
Find the radius of the cylinder

Givens
V = 288* pi cm^3
h = 4.5 cm

Formula
V = pi r^h

Sub and solve
288 pi cm^3 = pi r^2 * 4.5 Divide both sides by pi
288 cm^3 = 4.5 r^2 Divide both sides by 4.5
388 / 4.5 = r^2
64 = r^2 Take the square root of both sides.
r = square root( 64)
r = 8 <<<<< Answer

Solve the following differential equation using using characteristic equation using Laplace Transform i. ii y" +y sin 2t, y(0) 2

kifflom [539]

Answer:

The solution of the differential equation is $y(t)= - \frac{1}{3} Sin(2t)+2 Cos(t)+\frac{5}{3} Sin(t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The differential equation is given by: y" + y = Sin(2t)

i) Using characteristic equation:

The characteristic equation method assumes that y(t)= $e^{rt}$ , where "r" is a constant.

We find the solution of the homogeneus differential equation:

y" + y = 0

$y'=re^{rt}$

$y"=r^{2}e^{rt}$

$r^{2}e^{rt}+e^{rt}=0$

$(r^{2}+1)e^{rt}=0$

As $e^{rt}$ could never be zero, the term (r²+1) must be zero:

(r²+1)=0

r=±i

The solution of the homogeneus differential equation is:

$y(t)_{h}=c_{1}e^{it}+c_{2}e^{-it}$

Using Euler's formula:

$y(t)_{h}=c_{1}[Sin(t)+iCos(t)]+c_{2}[Sin(t)-iCos(t)]$

$y(t)_{h}=(c_{1}+c_{2})Sin(t)+(c_{1}-c_{2})iCos(t)$

$y(t)_{h}=C_{1}Sin(t)+C_{2}Cos(t)$

The particular solution of the differential equation is given by:

$y(t)_{p}=ASin(2t)+BCos(2t)$

$y'(t)_{p}=2ACos(2t)-2BSin(2t)$

$y''(t)_{p}=-4ASin(2t)-4BCos(2t)$

So we use these derivatives in the differential equation:

$-4ASin(2t)-4BCos(2t)+ASin(2t)+BCos(2t)=Sin(2t)$

$-3ASin(2t)-3BCos(2t)=Sin(2t)$

As there is not a term for Cos(2t), B is equal to 0.

So the value A=-1/3

The solution is the sum of the particular function and the homogeneous function:

$y(t)= - \frac{1}{3} Sin(2t) + C_{1} Sin(t) + C_{2} Cos(t)$

Using the initial conditions we can check that C1=5/3 and C2=2

ii) Using Laplace Transform:

To solve the differential equation we use the Laplace transformation in both members:

ℒ[y" + y]=ℒ[Sin(2t)]

ℒ[y"]+ℒ[y]=ℒ[Sin(2t)]

By using the Table of Laplace Transform we get:

ℒ[y"]=s²·ℒ[y]-s·y(0)-y'(0)=s²·Y(s) -2s-1

ℒ[y]=Y(s)

ℒ[Sin(2t)]= $\frac{2}{(s^{2}+4)}$

We replace the previous data in the equation:

s²·Y(s) -2s-1+Y(s) = $\frac{2}{(s^{2}+4)}$

(s²+1)·Y(s)-2s-1= $\frac{2}{(s^{2}+4)}$

(s²+1)·Y(s)= $\frac{2}{(s^{2}+4)}+2s+1=\frac{2+2s(s^{2}+4)+s^{2}+4}{(s^{2}+4)}$

Y(s)= $\frac{2+2s(s^{2}+4)+s^{2}+4}{(s^{2}+4)(s^{2}+1)}$

Y(s)= $\frac{2s^{3}+s^{2}+8s+6}{(s^{2}+4)(s^{2}+1)}$

Using partial franction method:

$\frac{2s^{3}+s^{2}+8s+6}{(s^{2}+4)(s^{2}+1)}=\frac{As+B}{s^{2}+4} +\frac{Cs+D}{s^{2}+1}$

2s^{3}+s^{2}+8s+6=(As+B)(s²+1)+(Cs+D)(s²+4)

2s^{3}+s^{2}+8s+6=s³(A+C)+s²(B+D)+s(A+4C)+(B+4D)

We solve the equation system:

A+C=2

B+D=1

A+4C=8

B+4D=6

The solutions are:

A=0 ; B= -2/3 ; C=2 ; D=5/3

So,

Y(s)= $\frac{-\frac{2}{3} }{s^{2}+4} +\frac{2s+\frac{5}{3} }{s^{2}+1}$

Y(s)= $-\frac{1}{3} \frac{2}{s^{2}+4} +2\frac{s }{s^{2}+1}+\frac{5}{3}\frac{1}{s^{2}+1}$

By using the inverse of the Laplace transform:

ℒ⁻¹[Y(s)]=ℒ⁻¹[ $-\frac{1}{3} \frac{2}{s^{2}+4}$ ]-ℒ⁻¹[ $2\frac{s }{s^{2}+1}$ ]+ℒ⁻¹[ $\frac{5}{3}\frac{1}{s^{2}+1}$ ]

$y(t)= - \frac{1}{3} Sin(2t)+2 Cos(t)+\frac{5}{3} Sin(t)$
