Answer:  The required solution of the given IVP is

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the solution of the following initial value problem :

y^{\prime\prime}-y=0,~~~y(0)=2,~~y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}.

Let y=e^{mx} be an auxiliary solution of the given differential equation.

Then, we have

y^\prime=me^{mx},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mx}.

Substituting these values in the given differential equation, we have

m^2e^{mx}-e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2-1)e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2-1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mx}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2=1\\\\\Rightarrow m=\pm1.

So, the general solution of the given equation is

y(x)=Ae^x+Be^{-x}, where A and B are constants.

This gives, after differentiating with respect to x that

y^\prime(x)=Ae^x-Be^{-x}.

The given conditions implies that

y(0)=2\\\\\Rightarrow A+B=2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A-B=-\dfrac{1}{2}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

2A=2-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2A=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3}{4}.

From equation (i), we get

\dfrac{3}{4}+B=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=2-\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{5}{4}.

Substituting the values of A and B in the general solution, we get

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

Thus, the required solution of the given IVP is

y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.

If twelve pounds of nails cost $3.84 what is the unit cost A) 32c B) 28c C) 23c D) 18c
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Option A) 32c

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit cost, divide the total cost of twelve pounds by twelve pounds

so

\frac{\$3.84}{12}=\$0.32

Remember that

1$=100 cents

Convert dollars to cents

\$0.32=0.32*100=32c

therefore

The cost of one pound of nails cost 32 cents

Several years​ ago, 38​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students r
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.428 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.3995

0.428 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.4564

We are confident that the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is between (0.3995, 0.4564), since the lower value for this confidence level is higher than 0.38 we have enough evidence to conclude that the parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we are interesting in the parameter of the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive

The confidence level is given 95%, the significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical values are:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The estimated proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is given by:

\hat p =\frac{499}{1165}= 0.428

The confidence interval for the proportion if interest is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

And replacing the info given we got:

0.428 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.3995

0.428 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.428(1-0.428)}{1165}}=0.4564

We are confident that the true proportion of people satisfied with the quality of education the students receive is between (0.3995, 0.4564), since the lower value for this confidence level is higher than 0.38 we have enough evidence to conclude that the parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.

7. The difference of Grandma Annie's age and twice Carl's is 22. Gran
OlgaM077 [116]
<h2>Systems of Equations Word Problems</h2>

To solve these questions, we can translate key words into operations:

  • <em>Difference</em> = subtract
  • <em>Twice</em> = double
  • <em>Less than</em> = subtract

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • Difference of Annie's age and twice Carl's age is 22
  • Annie's age is 13 less than 3 times Carl's age

There are two variables given two us: Annie's age and Carl's age.

  • Let Annie's age be equal to <em>x.</em>
  • Let Carl's age be equal to <em>y</em>.

Translate the given information into two equations:

  • Difference of Annie's age and twice Carl's age is 22
    ⇒ x-2y=22
  • Annie's age is 13 less than 3 times Carl's age
    ⇒ x=3y-13

Now, we can substitute the fist equation into the second one to solve for <em>y</em>:

(3y-13)-2y=22\\3y-13-2y=22\\y-13=22\\y=35

Now, substitute <em>y</em> back into the second equation to solve for <em>x</em>:

x=3y-13\\x=3(35)-13\\x=105-13\\x=92

<h2>Answer</h2>

Therefore, Grandma Annie is 92 years old.
