Point slope equation: 
y-y1=m(x-x1) 
m=slope

So we simply plug in our given information: 
x1=-8 
y1=2
m=1/2

y-2=1/2(x-(-8)  

2 minus signs next to each other make a positive 

Final answer: 
y-2=1/2(x+8)

All of these ODEs model a system with a spring, mass and dashpot.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

− 3 y ' ' − 3 y ' + 3 y = 0 : over-damped

− 2 y ' ' − 4 y ' + 1 y = 0 : over-damped

1 y ' ' + 7 y ' + 5 y = 0: over-damped

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the characteristic equation you can express a differential equation of order n as an algebraic equation of degree n:

a_ny^n+a_n_-_1y^{n-1}+...+a_1y'+a_oy=0

This differential equation will have a characteristic equation of the form:

a_nr^n+a_n_-_1r^{n-1}+...+a_1r+a_o=0

Now, you can classify the solution for a differential equation using a simple method. In order to do it, you just need to use the discriminant.

  • If the discriminant is greater than zero, the solution is over-damped

  • If the discriminant is less than zero, the solution is under-damped

  • If the discriminant is equal to zero, the solution is critically damped

So, given the differential equation:

-3y''-3y+3y=0

Which has characteristic equation of the form:

-3r^2-3r+3=0

The quadratic polynomial of the form:

ar^2+br+c=0

Has discriminant:

Disc=b^2-4ac

In this case:

a=-3\\b=-3\\c=3

So:

Disc=(-3)^2-4(-3)(3)=9-(-36)=45

In this case:

Disc=45>0

Therefore the solution is over-damped.

Now, given the differential equation:

-2y''-4y'+1y=0

Which has characteristic equation of the form:

-2r^2-4r+1=0

The quadratic polynomial of the form:

ar^2+br+c=0

Has discriminant:

Disc=b^2-4ac

In this case:

a=-2\\b=-4\\c=1

So:

Disc=(-4)^2-4(-2)(1)=16+8=24

In this case:

Disc=24>0

Therefore the solution is over-damped.

Finally, given the differential equation:

1y''+7y'+5y=0

Which has characteristic equation of the form:

1r^2+7r+5=0

The quadratic polynomial of the form:

ar^2+br+c=0

Has discriminant:

Disc=b^2-4ac

In this case:

a=1\\b=7\\c=5

So:

Disc=(7)^2-4(1)(5)=49-20=29

In this case:

Disc=29>0

Therefore the solution is over-damped.
