Answer:

Runner-up: $15,000

Winner: $75,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create an equation for this problem.

Let x=the amount the runner-up receives

Let 5x=the amount the winner receives

Then,

x+5x=90,000

6x=90,000

x=15,000

5x=75,000

For what values of k
sergey [27]

If y = cos(kt), then its first two derivatives are

y' = -k sin(kt)

y'' = -k² cos(kt)

Substituting y and y'' into 49y'' = -16y gives

-49k² cos(kt) = -15 cos(kt)

⇒   49k² = 15

⇒   k² = 15/49

⇒   k = ±√15/7

Note that both values of k give the same solution y = cos(√15/7 t) since cosine is even.
