D^2(y)/(dx^2)-16*k*y=9.6e^(4x) + 30e^x

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The solution depends on the value of $k$ . To make things simple, assume $k>0$ . The homogeneous part of the equation is

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}-16ky=0$

and has characteristic equation

$r^2-16k=0\implies r=\pm4\sqrt k$

which admits the characteristic solution $y_c=C_1e^{-4\sqrt kx}+C_2e^{4\sqrt kx}$ .

For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be $y_p=ae^{4x}+be^x$ . Then

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y_p}{\mathrm dx^2}=16ae^{4x}+be^x$

So you have

$16ae^{4x}+be^x-16k(ae^{4x}+be^x)=9.6e^{4x}+30e^x$
$(16a-16ka)e^{4x}+(b-16kb)e^x=9.6e^{4x}+30e^x$

This means

$16a(1-k)=9.6\implies a=\dfrac3{5(1-k)}$
$b(1-16k)=30\implies b=\dfrac{30}{1-16k}$

and so the general solution would be

$y=C_1e^{-4\sqrt kx}+C_2e^{4\sqrt kx}+\dfrac3{5(1-k)}e^{4x}+\dfrac{30}{1-16k}e^x$

There are two cubes, one smaller than the other. The two cubes combined has a volume of 118.125in. Find the side length of each

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the big cube side be b

small cube side be s

s = 2/3 * b

bv + sv = 118.125

b^3 + 8/9 b^3= 118.125

17 b^3/8 = 118.125

b^3 = 55.58

b = 3.816in

s = 2.544in

Right triangle abc has one leg of length 6 cm, one leg of length 8 cm and a right angle at

Sauron [17]

Answer:
side length of the square = 10 cm

Explanation:
The attached image shows a diagram representing the scenario described in the problem.
Taking a look at this diagram, we can note that the side length of the square is equal to the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle
Therefore, we can get the side of the square by calculating the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagorean theorem as follows:
(hypotenuse)² = (length of first leg)² + (length of second leg)²
(hypotenuse)² = (8)² + (6)²
(hypotenuse)² = 64 + 36
(hypotenuse)² = 100
hypotenuse = √100
hypotenuse = 10 cm

This means that the length of the side of the square is also 10 cm

Hope this helps :)
