We assume you want to find the inverse transform of s/(s^2 +3s -4). This can be written in partial fraction form as
(4/5)/(s+4) + (1/5)/(s-1)
which can be found in a table of transforms to be the transform of
(4/5)e^(-4t) + (1/5)e^t
_____
There are a number of ways to determine the partial fractions. They all start with factoring the denominator.
s^2 +3x -4 = (s+4)(s-1)
After that, you can postulate the final form and determine the values of the coefficients that make it so. For example:
A/(s+4) + B/(s-1) = ((A+B)s + (4B-A))/(s^2 +3x -4)
This gives rise to two equations:
(A+B) = 1
(4B-A) = 0
One inch is greater than one centimeter
You would distribute the 2x to the x and 1= 2x^2+2x
then you would distribute the 1 to the x and 1= 1x+1
then you would add it all together to get
2x^2+3x+1
Answer:
$5599.20
Step-by-step explanation:
The quarterly interest rate for the first two years was ...
7%/4 = 0.0175
So, the multiplier each quarter for those 8 quarters was 1+0.0175 = 1.0175. At the end of the first 8 quarters, the account value had been multiplied by ...
1.0175^8
For the next 8 quarters, the quarterly interest rate was 10%/4 = 0.025. So at the end of those 8 quarters, the balance had been multiplied by ...
1.025^8
Then the balance at the end of 4 years was ...
$4000(1.0175^8)(1.025^8) ≈ $5599.20
The balance was $5599.20.
