Answer: a = -2, b = -2, c = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c.

Then:

y' = 2*a*x + b

y'' = 2*a.

Then we can write the equation:

y′′ + y′ − 2y = 4x^2.

as:

2*a + 2*a*x + b - 2*(a*x^2 + b*x + c) = 4*x^2

To solve this, the first step is moving all the terms to the same side:

2*a + 2*a*x + b - 2*a*x^2 - 2*b*x - 2*c - 4*x^2 = 0

Now let's group terms with the same power of x.

(-4 - 2*a)*x^2 + (-2*b + 2*a)*x + (-2c + b) = 0

Now, this must be zero for all the values of x, then the parenthesis must be equal to zero:

-4 - 2*a = 0

-2*b + 2*a = 0

-2*c + b = 0

From the first equation:

-4 - 2*a = 0

-4 = 2*a

-4/2 = a

a = -2

And from the second equation:

-2*b + 2*a = 0

2*a = 2*b

a = b

b = -2.

From the third equation we have:

-2c + b = 0

-2c = b

c = b/-2 = -2/-2 = 1.

c = 1

Then our equation is:

y = -2*x^2 - 2*x + 1.

Which of the following choices
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Denote AH as height of triangle ABC, with H lies on BC.

Applying sine theorem:

AH/AC = sin 60

=> AH = AC x sin 60 = 47 x sqrt(3)/2 = 40.7

=> Area of triangle ABC is calculated by:

A = AH x BC x (1/2) = 40.7 x 30 x (1/2) = 610.5 = ~611

=> Option C is correct.

Hope this helps!

People enjoyed attending the concert in the park.
Luden [163]

Answer:

w = 238

Step-by-step explanation:

So create a system of equations if the number of m = 2w where the men's number is twice the women's number.  and m + w = 714 so substitute 2w for m

2w + w = 714 so 3w = 714, divide both sides by 3, you get w = 238

(72÷2)³ - 7 · 9 ÷ 9

First, parenthesis

72÷2 is 36

Next, exponents.

36³ is 46656.

Then, multiplication.

7 · 9= 63

After that, division.

63 ÷ 9 is 7

Finally, subtraction.

46656 - 7 is 46649
