6 0

Answer: C. 60

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, they are asking the least common multiple of 4,5, and 6.

Find the LCM of the numbers or the multiples of the numbers.

Multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12,16, 20, 24,28,32,36, 40, 44,48,52,56,60.

Multiples of 5 are 5, 10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60.

Multiples of 6 are 6,12,18,24,30,36, 42, 48, 54, 60,

As we can see in their multiples, they do not share the multiple 6 or 30 .

But they all share the number 60 which means that 60 is the least possilbe number of candies in the bag.

Note that is can go on to be 90 or 120 but they are not the smallest ones.

Find a particular solution to <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%20d%5E%7B2%7Dy%20%7D%7Bd%20x%5E%7

Digiron [165]

$y=x^r$
$\implies r(r-1)x^r+6rx^r+4x^r=0$
$\implies r^2+5r+4=(r+1)(r+4)=0$
$\implies r=-1,r=-4$

so the characteristic solution is

$y_c=\dfrac{C_1}x+\dfrac{C_2}{x^4}$

As a guess for the particular solution, let's back up a bit. The reason the choice of $y=x^r$ works for the characteristic solution is that, in the background, we're employing the substitution $t=\ln x$ , so that $y(x)$ is getting replaced with a new function $z(t)$ . Differentiating yields

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}$
$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac1{x^2}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm d^2z}{\mathrm dt^2}-\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}\right)$

Now the ODE in terms of $t$ is linear with constant coefficients, since the coefficients $x^2$ and $x$ will cancel, resulting in the ODE

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2z}{\mathrm dt^2}+5\dfrac{\mathrm dz}{\mathrm dt}+4z=e^{2t}\sin e^t$

Of coursesin, the characteristic equation will be $r^2+6r+4=0$ , which leads to solutions $C_1e^{-t}+C_2e^{-4t}=C_1x^{-1}+C_2x^{-4}$ , as before.

Now that we have two linearly independent solutions, we can easily find more via variation of parameters. If $z_1,z_2$ are the solutions to the characteristic equation of the ODE in terms of $z$ , then we can find another of the form $z_p=u_1z_1+u_2z_2$ where

$u_1=-\displaystyle\int\frac{z_2e^{2t}\sin e^t}{W(z_1,z_2)}\,\mathrm dt$
$u_2=\displaystyle\int\frac{z_1e^{2t}\sin e^t}{W(z_1,z_2)}\,\mathrm dt$

where $W(z_1,z_2)$ is the Wronskian of the two characteristic solutions. We have

$u_1=-\displaystyle\int\frac{e^{-2t}\sin e^t}{-3e^{-5t}}\,\mathrm dt$
$u_1=\dfrac23(1-2e^{2t})\cos e^t+\dfrac23e^t\sin e^t$

$u_2=\displaystyle\int\frac{e^t\sin e^t}{-3e^{-5t}}\,\mathrm dt$
$u_2=\dfrac13(120-20e^{2t}+e^{4t})e^t\cos e^t-\dfrac13(120-60e^{2t}+5e^{4t})\sin e^t$

$\implies z_p=u_1z_1+u_2z_2$
$\implies z_p=(40e^{-4t}-6)e^{-t}\cos e^t-(1-20e^{-2t}+40e^{-4t})\sin e^t$

and recalling that $t=\ln x\iff e^t=x$ , we have

$\implies y_p=\left(\dfrac{40}{x^3}-\dfrac6x\right)\cos x-\left(1-\dfrac{20}{x^2}+\dfrac{40}{x^4}\right)\sin x$
