Answer: x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 1 + 14 - original equation
5x = 15 - add 1 to both sides
x = 3 - divide both sides by 5
Combine costs
59.99(3) + 75 = 179.97 + 75
179.97 + 75 = $254.99 (total cost)
Now add tax: 8% = 0.08
254.99 * 0.08 = 20.3992
254.99 + 20.3992 = 275.3892
Solution: bill would be around $275



Substituting into the ODE

gives

so that the coefficients of the series are given according to

We can shift the index in the recursive part of this definition to get

for
. There's dependency between coefficients that are 2 indices apart, so we can consider 2 cases:
- If
, where
is an integer, then

but since
, we have
and
for all
.
- If
, then



and so
for all
. If
, we then have
and
.
So the ODE has solution
