Answer:

21 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines is helpful for this. The angle opposite the shorter diagonal is the supplement of the angle shown, so is 60°.

If we designate the known sides as "a" and "b", the short diagonal as "c" and the smaller angle as C, then the law of cosines tells us ...

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab·cos(C)

For the given dimensions, we have ...

c = √(15^2 +24^2 -2·15·24·cos(60°)) = √441 = 21 . . . inches

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the given differential equation. Use reduction of order or formula (5) in Section

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

$\therefore y_2(x)=-\frac{e^{-6x}}{8}$

The general solution is

$y=c_1e^{2x}-c_2.\frac{e^{-6x}}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given differential equation is

y''-4y'+4y=0

and $y_1(x)=e^{2x}$

To find the $y_2(x)$ we are applying the following formula,

$y_2(x)=y_1(x)\int \frac{e^{-\int P(x) dx}}{y_1^2(x)} \ dx$

The general form of equation is

y''+P(x)y'+Q(x)y=0

Comparing the general form of the differential equation to the given differential equation,

So, P(x)= - 4

$\therefore y_2(x)=e^{2x}\int \frac{e^{-\int 4dx}}{(e^{2x})^2}dx$

$=e^{2x}\int \frac{e^{-4x}}{e^{4x}}dx$

$=e^{2x}\int e^{-4x-4x} \ dx$

$=e^{2x}\int e^{-8x} \ dx$

$=e^{2x}. \frac{e^{-8x}}{-8}$

$=-\frac{e^{-6x}}{8}$

$\therefore y_2(x)=-\frac{e^{-6x}}{8}$

The general solution is

$y=c_1e^{2x}-c_2.\frac{e^{-6x}}{8}$
