Answer:

Each Chicken costs $8 and each duck costs $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Say chicken is c and duck is d

50c + 30d = $550 ........................eqn 1

44c + 36d = $532 .........................eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 44 and eqn 2 by 50, we will have

(50c + 30d = $550) × 44

(44c + 36d = $532) × 50

2200c + 1320d = $24200 ...........eqn 3

2200c + 1800d = $26600 ...........eqn 4

Subtract eqn 3 from eqn 4 and we will have

480d = $2400

Dividing all through by 480 and we will have

d = $2400/480

d = $5

Which means each duck costs $5

To calculate the cost of chicken, substitute $5 for d in any of the eqns

50c + 30d = $550

50c + 30($5) = $550

50c + $150 = $550 , collect like terms and we will have

50c = $550 - $150

50c = $400  divide both sides by 50, and we will have

c = $8

Therefore chicken costs $8 each

(15 pts) 4. Find the solution of the following initial value problem: y"-10y'+25y = 0 with y(0) = 3 and y'(0) = 13
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

y(x)=3e^{5x}-2xe^{5x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given differential equation is y''-10y'+25y=0

The characteristics equation is given by

r^2-10r+25=0

Finding the values of r

r^2-5r-5r+25=0\\\\r(r-5)-5(r-5)=0\\\\(r-5)(r-5)=0\\\\r_{1,2}=5

We got a repeated roots. Hence, the solution of the differential equation is given by

y(x)=c_1e^{5x}+c_2xe^{5x}...(i)

On differentiating, we get

y'(x)=5c_1e^{5x}+5c_2xe^{5x}+c_2e^{5x}...(ii)

Apply the initial condition y (0)= 3 in equation (i)

3=c_1e^{0}+0\\\\c_1=3

Now, apply the initial condition y' (0)= 13 in equation (ii)

13=5(3)e^{0}+0+c_2e^{0}\\\\13=15+c_2\\\\c_2=-2

Therefore, the solution of the differential equation is

y(x)=3e^{5x}-2xe^{5x}
