The second one on the top right
Interest rate = 5.25%
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Simple Interest = Pnr = 4252.50
n = time = 54 months = 4.5 years
r = rate of interest = ?
P = 18,000
r = SI/Pn = 4252.50 / 18000× 4.5
= 0.0525 = 5.25%
Part A
Given that

Then,

For

, then

Thus,

For

, we have

Part B
Recall that from part A,

Now, at initial position, t = 0 and

, thus we have

and when the velocity drops to half its value,

and

Thus,

Thus, the distance the particle moved from its initial position to when its velocity drops to half its initial value is given by
Answer: x= 26/3
Step-by-step explanation: Solve the rational equation by combining expressions and isolating the variable x.
Let's solve your equation!
4 + 2x
/6x = 12/5x
2x + 4/6x= 12/5x + 2/15
Multiply all terms by x and cancel:
- 2x + 4/6= 12/5
- 1/3x + 2/3 = 2/15x = 2/15x + 12/5 - 2/15x (Subtract 2/15x from both sides)
- 1/5x + 2/3 = 12/5
- 1/5x + 2/3 -2/3 = 12/5- 2/3 (subtract 2/3 from both sides)
- 1/5x = 12/5
- Multiply both sides by 5
- Check all your answers,
- x= 26/3
Recall a few known results involving the Laplace transform. Given a function

, if the transform exists, then denote it by

. We have



Let's put all this together by taking the transform of both sides of the ODE:


Here we use the third fact and immediately compute the transform of the right hand side (I'll leave that up to you).
Now we invoke the first listed fact:

Let

. From the second fact, we get

From the first fact, we get

so we're left with

To summarize, taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the ODE yields

Isolating

gives


All that's left is to take the inverse transform. I'll leave that to you as well. You should end up with something resembling
