Answer:

Paul = 30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

If Adam (A), Paul(P) and Jake(J) together they weigh 180 pounds (A+P+J=180); and Adam and Jake is 2:3 (2A=3J) then how much does paul weigh?

A+P+J=180, 2A=3J, J=60 we have; A=(3/2)J=(3/2)*60 → A=90, 90+P+60=180 →

P=180-90-60 → P=30

Set up but do not solve for the appropriate particular solution yp for the differential equation y′′+4y=5xcos(2x) using the Meth
taurus [48]

Answer:

So, solution of  the differential equation is

y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos  2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the given differential equation: y′′+4y=5xcos(2x)

We use the Method of Undetermined Coefficients.

We first solve the homogeneous differential equation y′′+4y=0.

y''+4y=0\\\\r^2+4=0\\\\r=\pm2i\\\\

It is a homogeneous solution:

y_h(t)=c_1e^{-2i t}+c_2e^{2i t}

Now, we finding a particular solution.

y_p(t)=A5x\cos 2x\\\\y'_p(t)=A5\cos 2x-A10x\sin 2x\\\\y''_p(t)=-A20\sin 2x-A20x\cos 2x\\\\\\\implies y''+4y=5x\cos 2x\\\\-A20\sin 2x-A20x\cos 2x+4\cdot A5x\cos 2x=5x\cos 2x\\\\-A20\sin 2x=5x\cos 2x\\\\A=-\frac{x}{4} \cot 2x\\

we get

y_p(t)=A5\cos 2x\\\\y_p(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos  2x\\\\\\y(t)=y_p(t)+y_h(t)\\\\y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos  2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}\\

So, solution of  the differential equation is

y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos  2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}\\

How to calculate standard deviation given mean and sample size?
ad-work [718]
In addition to mean and sample size you will need the individual scores.

The formula for standard deviation is:

S^2 = E(X-M)^2/N-1

Here's an example: 
Data set: 4,4,3,1
Mean: 3
Sample size: 4

First, put the individual scores one after the other and subtract the mean from it.
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 3 = 0
1 - 3 = -2

Second, square the answers you got from step 1. 
1^2 = 1
1^2 = 1
0^2 = 0
-2^2 = 4
Third, plug the values from step 2 into the formula. 

S^2 = (1+1+0+4)/(4-1) = 6/3 = 2

Standard deviation = 2
