Answer:

-20

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the whole. 2/5 of x = -8 so -8 1/5 is -4. -4*5 to find the whole so its -20

Answer: The number is 35

If 2/5 of a number is 14, then we will perform a function of cross multiplication in order to determine the missing number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing number = y

To perform a cross multiplication, firstly, we multiply the numerator of first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.

Secondly, we multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction. Then, the resulting values are divided by each other to get a final numerical value.

Therefore, the missing number (y) will the denominator of the second fraction i.e. 14/y . The first fraction is 2/5.

Thus,

2/5 of 14/y

2/5= 14/y

(2 x y) = (5 x 14)

(2y) = (70)

2y = 70

Since we are looking for value of y, divide both sides by the value beside y

Thus,

2y/2 = 70/2

y = 35

Therefore, the missing number is 35

Consider the differential equation y'' − y' − 30y = 0. Verify that the functions e−5x and e6x form a fundamental set of solution

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to take the derivatives for both functions and replace in the differential equation. Hence

for y=e^{-5x}:

$y(x)=e^{-5x}\\y'(x)=-5e^{-5x}\\y''(x)=25e^{-5x}\\$

for y=e^{6x}:

$y(x)=e^{6x}\\y'(x)=6e^{6x}\\y''(x)=36e^{6x}\\$

Now we replace in the differential equation y'' − y' − 30y = 0

for y=e^{-5x}:

$25e^{-5x}+5e^{-5x}-30e^{-5x}=0\\25+5-30=0$

for y=e^{6x}:

$36e^{6x}-6e^{6x}-30=0\\36-6+30=0$

Now, to know if both function are linearly independent we calculate the Wronskian

$W(f,g)=fg'-f'g$

$W(e^{-5x},e^{6x})=(e^{-5x})(6e^{6x})-(-5e^{-5x})(e^{6x})\neq 0$

I hope this is useful for you

Best regard
