Answer:

32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

prior + 8.1 = 40.5 . . . . . . seems to model the problem statement

prior = 32.4 . . . . . . . subtract 8.1 from both sides

Prior to the increase the percent was 32.4.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

When you're talking about a percentage increase in a percentage, it is almost never clear whether you're talking about the percentage of the underlying number, or the percentage of the percentage.

Here, we assume the 8.1 is a percentage of working students, not a percentage of the percentage of workings students. If you actually intend the latter, the percentage before the increase was about 37.465%.

taurus [48]

Answer:

So, solution of the differential equation is

$y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the given differential equation: y′′+4y=5xcos(2x)

We use the Method of Undetermined Coefficients.

We first solve the homogeneous differential equation y′′+4y=0.

$y''+4y=0\\\\r^2+4=0\\\\r=\pm2i\\\\$

It is a homogeneous solution:

$y_h(t)=c_1e^{-2i t}+c_2e^{2i t}$

Now, we finding a particular solution.

$y_p(t)=A5x\cos 2x\\\\y'_p(t)=A5\cos 2x-A10x\sin 2x\\\\y''_p(t)=-A20\sin 2x-A20x\cos 2x\\\\\\\implies y''+4y=5x\cos 2x\\\\-A20\sin 2x-A20x\cos 2x+4\cdot A5x\cos 2x=5x\cos 2x\\\\-A20\sin 2x=5x\cos 2x\\\\A=-\frac{x}{4} \cot 2x\\$

we get

$y_p(t)=A5\cos 2x\\\\y_p(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x\\\\\\y(t)=y_p(t)+y_h(t)\\\\y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}\\$

So, solution of the differential equation is

$y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}\\$

Please don’t just comment for points

1. no because 2x+10 is not equal to 2x+7
2. no. you cant add una like terms so 4x+4 doesn’t equal 8x
3. yes. the terms still retain their same value although they are not in the same order
4. yes. when u distribute the -3, you get -3x-6 which is of course equal to -3x-6
