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}.

Line k has a slope of 2/3. If line m is parallel to line k, then it has a slope of
puteri [66]

Answer:

Line M would also have a slope of 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two line are parallel that means that they will never intersect.

In order for two lines to avoid intersection they would have to be at the same slope.

Since lines K and line M are parallel to each other they have to have the same slope.
