Person A takes 2.3 days to paint the house working alone
Person B takes 13.8 days to paint the house working alone
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the number of days it takes person A to paint the house
Person A can paint the neighbor's house 6 times as fast as Person B
Therefore.
Number of days it takes person B to paint the house = 6x
Their rates of painting are added to get the rate working together


Thus person A takes 2.3 days to paint the house working alone
Person B = 2x = 6(2.3) = 13.8
Thus person B takes 13.8 days to paint the house working alone
First: the homogeneous solutions: the characteristic equation is4r^2 - 4r - 3 = 0which has roots r = 3/2, -1/2 hence the homogeneous solution isy = c1.exp(-x/2) + c2.exp(3x/2)
next you need the general form for the guess for yp and that isyp = A1cos(2x) + A2sin(2x)
Now substitute that into the equation and solve for A1, A2.
