ANSWER

A: 4.75

EXPLANATION

The given date set is

12, 14, 16, 17.5, 10, 18, 15, 15.5, 19

We arrange the data set in ascending order to get,

{10,12,14,15,15.5,16,17.5,18,19}

The median is,

$15.5$

The first quartile is the median of the lower half of the ascending set.

{10,12,14,15}

$Q_1= \frac{12 + 14}{2} = 13$

The third quartile is the median of the upper half of the ascending set.

{15.5,17.5,18,19}

$Q_3= \frac{17.5+ 18}{2} = 17.75$

The inter- quartile range is

$Q_3 - Q_1= 17.75 - 13 = 4.75$

Consider the system of differential equations dxdt=−4ydydt=−4x. Convert this system to a second order differential equation in y

koban [17]

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=-4x\implies x=-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}$

Substituting this into the other ODE gives

$-\dfrac14\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dt^2}=-4y\implies y''-16y=0$

Since $x(t)=-\dfrac14y'(t)$ , it follows that $x(0)=-\dfrac14y'(0)=4\implies y'(0)=-16$ . The ODE in $y$ has characteristic equation

$r^2-16=0$

with roots $r=\pm4$ , admitting the characteristic solution

$y_c=C_1e^{4t}+C_2e^{-4t}$

From the initial conditions we get

$y(0)=5\implies 5=C_1+C_2$

$y'(0)=16\implies-16=4C_1-4C_2$

$\implies C_1=\dfrac12,C_2=\dfrac92$

So we have

$\boxed{y(t)=\dfrac12e^{4t}+\dfrac92e^{-4t}}$

Take the derivative and multiply it by -1/4 to get the solution for $x(t)$ :

$-\dfrac14y'(t)=\boxed{x(t)=-\dfrac12e^{4t}+\dfrac92e^{-4t}}$

Andre says 10x + 6 and 5x + 11 are equivalent because they both equal 16 when x is 1. Do you agree with Andre?

Serga [27]

Answer:

No, They are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.

The variable in this question is x.

To prove this, we equate both expressions:

$10x + 6 = 5x + 11$

$10x - 5x = 11 - 6\\\\\\5x = 5\\\\\\x = 1$

This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.

This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
