Answer:

(4, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Substitution</u>

Using the second equation, we can substitute for y in the first equation.

4x -(2x-2) = 10

2x +2 = 10 . . . . simplify

x +1 = 5 . . . . . . .divide by 2

x = 4 . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

y = 2(4) -2) = 6 . . . . substitute for x in the equation for y

The solution is (x, y) = (4, 6).

<u>Elimination</u>

Often, we like to start with both equations in standard form when we solve by elimination. That is nice, but not completely necessary.

We can eliminate the y-variable by simply adding the two given equations.

(4x -y) +(y) = (10) +(2x -2)

4x = 8 + 2x . . . . . collect terms. The y-variable has been eliminated.

2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x

x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Y can be found using the second equation.

(x, y) = (4, 6)

We could have eliminated the x-variable by multiplying the second equation by 2, then adding the two equations.

(4x -y) +2(y) = (10) +2(2x -2)

y = 6 . . . . . . . . . subtract 4x from both sides. The x-variable has been eliminated.

Now, x can be found using either equation.

6 = 2x -2 . . . substitute for y in the second equation

3 = x - 1 . . . divide by 2

x = 4 . . . . . add 1

(x, y) = (4, 6)

Find the general solution of the differential equation and check the result by differentiation. (Use C for the constant of integ

atroni [7]

Answer: $y=Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Beginning with the first differential equation:

$\frac{dy}{dt} =27t^8y$

This differential equation is denoted as a separable differential equation due to us having the ability to separate the variables. Divide both sides by 'y' to get:

$\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dt} =27t^8$

Multiply both sides by 'dt' to get:

$\frac{1}{y}dy =27t^8dt$

Integrate both sides. Both sides will produce an integration constant, but I will merge them together into a single integration constant on the right side:

$\int\limits {\frac{1}{y} } \, dy=\int\limits {27t^8} \, dt$

$ln(y)=27(\frac{1}{9} t^9)+C$

$ln(y)=3t^9+C$

We want to cancel the natural log in order to isolate our function 'y'. We can do this by using 'e' since it is the inverse of the natural log:

$e^l^n^(^y^)=e^(^3^t^{^9} ^+^C^)$

$y=e^(^3^t^{^9} ^+^C^)$

We can take out the 'C' of the exponential using a rule of exponents. Addition in an exponent can be broken up into a product of their bases:

$y=e^(^3^t^{^9}^)e^C$

The term e^C is just another constant, so with impunity, I can absorb everything into a single constant:

$y=Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)$

To check the answer by differentiation, you require the chain rule. Differentiating an exponential gives back the exponential, but you must multiply by the derivative of the inside. We get:

$\frac{d}{dx} (y)=\frac{d}{dx}(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))$

$\frac{dy}{dx} =(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))*\frac{d}{dx}(3t^9)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} =(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))*27t^8$

Now check if the derivative equals the right side of the original differential equation:

$(Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^))*27t^8=27t^8*y(t)$

$Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)*27t^8=27t^8*Ce^(^3^t^{^9}^)$

QED

I unfortunately do not have enough room for your second question. It is the exact same type of differential equation as the one solved above. The only difference is the fractional exponent, which would make the problem slightly more involved. If you ask your second question again on a different problem, I'd be glad to help you solve it.
