This is a linear differential equation of first order. Solve this by integrating the coefficient of the y term and then raising e to the integrated coefficient to find the integrating factor, i.e. the integrating factor for this problem is e^(6x).
<span>Multiplying both sides of the equation by the integrating factor: </span>
<span>(y')e^(6x) + 6ye^(6x) = e^(12x) </span>
<span>The left side is the derivative of ye^(6x), hence </span>
<span>d/dx[ye^(6x)] = e^(12x) </span>
<span>Integrating </span>
<span>ye^(6x) = (1/12)e^(12x) + c where c is a constant </span>
<span>y = (1/12)e^(6x) + ce^(-6x) </span>
<span>Use the initial condition y(0)=-8 to find c: </span>
<span>-8 = (1/12) + c </span>
<span>c=-97/12 </span>
<span>Hence </span>
<span>y = (1/12)e^(6x) - (97/12)e^(-6x)</span>
Hello there! We are solving for the tax rate, so let's start off by subtracting both prices. 4.32 - 4.00 is 0.32. That's a 32 cent difference in the price. Now, let's divide that number by the original price to find the percentage. 0.32/4 is 0.08. Multiply that number by 100 and that is 8%. There. The sales tax rate is 8%.
Answer:
11.43
Step-by-step explanation:
[8 + (24 x 3)] divided by 7
[8 + (72)] divided by 7
80/7
11.42857142857143
11.43 (I rounded it)
