This year the fifth grade collected 216 fewer plastic containers than the fourth grade.How many plastic containers did the fifth

grade collect

Let number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= x

Then number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade students=x-216

OR

If number of plastic container collected by fifth grade is y

then number of plastic container collected by fourth grade=y+216

So, we can write it as follows

⇒ number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade +216

The sides of a square are 2^4/9 inches long. what is the area of the square?

andrey2020 [161]

The area of a square is the length of a side times itself:
2_4/9 * 2_4/9
Mixed numbers cannot be multiplied, so first convert to improper fractions:
(9*2)+4 = 18+4 = 22/9
22/9 * 22/9
Multiply straight across:
(22*22)/(9*9) = 484/81
Now turn this into a mixed number:
81 goes into 484 five times with 79 left over:
5_79/81 square inches
Since this is not one of the answer choices, I'm wondering if the given length of the side of the square is incorrect?

Solve the initial value problem 2ty" + 10ty' + 8y = 0, for t > 0, y(1) = 1, y'(1) = 0.

Eva8 [605]

I think you meant to write

$2t^2y''+10ty'+8y=0$

which is an ODE of Cauchy-Euler type. Let $y=t^m$ . Then

$y'=mt^{m-1}$

$y''=m(m-1)t^{m-2}$

Substituting $y$ and its derivatives into the ODE gives

$2m(m-1)t^m+10mt^m+8t^m=0$

Divide through by $t^m$ , which we can do because $t\neq0$ :

$2m(m-1)+10m+8=2m^2+8m+8=2(m+2)^2=0\implies m=-2$

Since this root has multiplicity 2, we get the characteristic solution

$y_c=C_1t^{-2}+C_2t^{-2}\ln t$

If you're not sure where the logarithm comes from, scroll to the bottom for a bit more in-depth explanation.

With the given initial values, we find

$y(1)=1\implies1=C_1$

$y'(1)=0\implies0=-2C_1+C_2\implies C_2=2$

so that the particular solution is

$\boxed{y(t)=t^{-2}+2t^{-2}\ln t}$

# # #

Under the hood, we're actually substituting $t=e^u$ , so that $u=\ln t$ . When we do this, we need to account for the derivative of $y$ wrt the new variable $u$ . By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1t\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}$

Since $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}$ is a function of $t$ , we can treat $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}$ in the same way, so denote this by $f(t)$ . By the quotient rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\left[\dfrac ft\right]=\dfrac{t\frac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dt}-f}{t^2}$

and by the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1t\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm du}$

where

$\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm du}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm du}\left[\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\right]=\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}$

so that

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}-\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}}{t^2}=\dfrac1{t^2}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}-\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\right)$

Plug all this into the original ODE to get a new one that is linear in $u$ with constant coefficients:

$2t^2\left(\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm du^2}-\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm du}}{t^2}\right)+10t\left(\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}}t\right)+8y=0$

$2y''+8y'+8y=0$

which has characteristic equation

$2r^2+8r+8=2(r+2)^2=0$

and admits the characteristic solution

$y_c(u)=C_1e^{-2u}+C_2ue^{-2u}$

Finally replace $u=\ln t$ to get the solution we found earlier,

$y_c(t)=C_1t^{-2}+C_2t^{-2}\ln t$
