What will the last payment be to pay off a $1,250 computer plus 8% sales tax with monthly payments of $120? $10 $11 $12 $20 $30

1 answer:

7 0

The last payment would be $30. This is computed by solving first the total amount of computer including 8% tax, so 1,250 times 8% is equal to 100, then 100 plus 1,250 is 1,350. Then 1,350 will be divided by 120, which is equal to 11.25. Getting the 0.25, from 11.25, multiply be 120 (0.25 times 120), is equal to $30.

Answer:

$y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y(s) be the Laplace transform Y=L{y(t)} of y(t)

Applying the Laplace transform to both sides of the differential equation and using the linearity of the transform, we get

L{y'' - 6y' + 9y} = L{0} = 0

(*) L{y''} - 6L{y'} + 9L{y} = 0 ; y(0)=4, y′(0)=2

Using the theorem of the Laplace transform for derivatives, we know that:

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-y(0)$

Replacing the initial values y(0)=4, y′(0)=2 we obtain

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-4s-2\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-4$

and our differential equation (*) gets transformed in the algebraic equation

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0$

Solving for Y(s) we get

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0\Rightarrow (s^2-6s+9)Y(s)-4s+22=0\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow Y(s)=\frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}$

Now, we brake down the rational expression of Y(s) into partial fractions

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4s-22}{(s-3)^2}=\frac{A}{s-3}+\frac{B}{(s-3)^2}$

The numerator of the addition at the right must be equal to 4s-22, so

A(s - 3) + B = 4s - 22

As - 3A + B = 4s - 22

we deduct from here

A = 4 and -3A + B = -22, so

A = 4 and B = -22 + 12 = -10

It means that

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

and

$\large\bf Y(s)=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

By taking the inverse Laplace transform on both sides and using the linearity of the inverse:

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}$

we know that

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}=e^{3t}$

and for the first translation property of the inverse Laplace transform

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=e^{3t}L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s^2}\right\}=e^{3t}t=te^{3t}$

and the solution of our differential equation is

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=\\\\4e^{3t}-10te^{3t}=2e^{3t}(2-5t)\\\\\boxed{y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)}$
