Answer:
Width (length of shorter side) = 3.5 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
L = 8.5 cm
perimeter, P = 24 cm
2(L+W) = 24
substitute L = 8.5
2(8.5+W) = 24
8.5 + W = 24/2 = 12
W = 12 - 8.5 = 3.5 cm
I don't know what method is referred to in "section 4.3", but I'll suppose it's reduction of order and use that to find the exact solution. Take

, so that

and we're left with the ODE linear in

:

Now suppose

has a power series expansion



Then the ODE can be written as


![\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}\bigg[n(n-1)a_n-(n-1)a_{n-1}\bigg]x^{n-2}=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bn%5Cge2%7D%5Cbigg%5Bn%28n-1%29a_n-%28n-1%29a_%7Bn-1%7D%5Cbigg%5Dx%5E%7Bn-2%7D%3D0)
All the coefficients of the series vanish, and setting

in the power series forms for

and

tell us that

and

, so we get the recurrence

We can solve explicitly for

quite easily:

and so on. Continuing in this way we end up with

so that the solution to the ODE is

We also require the solution to satisfy

, which we can do easily by adding and subtracting a constant as needed:
Answer:
729 cubic meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cube is given by side^3
where side is length of the side
Given in the problem
side is 9 meters as length, width, and height of fort is 9 meters and it is in cube shape .
Thus,
volume of cube = 9^3 = 9*9*9 = 729
Thus, volume of Haley's fort is 729 cubic meters.
or 
Step-by-step Explanation :
As the given fraction is an improper fraction, it is hard to divide properly. Either :
☆ You can write what it is given as per question for the answer.
☆ Else, by dividing, we will get a huge value. In this case, we get it as
