Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 3/2x + 3

g(a) = 0

g(a) = 3/2a +3 =0

Subtract 3 from each side

3/2a +3-3=0-3

3/2a = -3

Multiply each side by 2/3

2/3 * 3/2a = -3*2/3

a = -2

Use the method of undetermined coefficients to find the general solution to the de y′′−3y′ 2y=ex e2x e−x

djverab [1.8K]

I'll assume the ODE is

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^x + e^{2x} + e^{-x}$

Solve the homogeneous ODE,

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = 0$

The characteristic equation

$r^2 - 3r + 2 = (r - 1) (r - 2) = 0$

has roots at $r=1$ and $r=2$ . Then the characteristic solution is

$y = C_1 e^x + C_2 e^{2x}$

For nonhomogeneous ODE (1),

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^x$

consider the ansatz particular solution

$y = axe^x \implies y' = a(x+1) e^x \implies y'' = a(x+2) e^x$

Substituting this into (1) gives

$a(x+2) e^x - 3 a (x+1) e^x + 2ax e^x = e^x \implies a = -1$

For the nonhomogeneous ODE (2),

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^{2x}$

take the ansatz

$y = bxe^{2x} \implies y' = b(2x+1) e^{2x} \implies y'' = b(4x+4) e^{2x}$

Substitute (2) into the ODE to get

$b(4x+4) e^{2x} - 3b(2x+1)e^{2x} + 2bxe^{2x} = e^{2x} \implies b=1$

Lastly, for the nonhomogeneous ODE (3)

$y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^{-x}$

take the ansatz

$y = ce^{-x} \implies y' = -ce^{-x} \implies y'' = ce^{-x}$

and solve for $c$ .

$ce^{-x} + 3ce^{-x} + 2ce^{-x} = e^{-x} \implies c = \dfrac16$

Then the general solution to the ODE is

$\boxed{y = C_1 e^x + C_2 e^{2x} - xe^x + xe^{2x} + \dfrac16 e^{-x}}$

On Monday, the book store sold 75 books. On Tuesday, the bookstore sold 125 books. The bookstore must sell 500 books by Friday.

Anettt [7]

All you have to do is add 125 by 75 and you get 200. Now you have to subtract 500 by 200 which is 300 and here you go your answer is 300. The bookstore has to sell 300 more books in order to sell 500 books by friday
