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}.

Which function below is the inverse of f(x) = x2 − 16?
slega [8]
f(x) = x^{2} - 16
y = x^{2} - 16
x = y^{2} - 16
x + 16 = y^{2}
\±\sqrt{x + 16} = \sqrt{y^{2}}
\±\sqrt{x + 16} = y
\±\sqrt{x + 16} = f^{-1}(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

the training area = (28/2)^2*pi

training area = 615.75 square feet

615.75/5.75 = 107.08

Solve the equation √x-6 +2=6
Dovator [93]

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{x-6} + 2 = 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

\sqrt{x-6} = 4 ( square both sides to clear the radical )

x - 6 = 4² = 16 ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 22
