Answer:

Sarah

Step-by-step explanation:

For Sarah

Sarah paid $3.84 for 32 ounces of carrots.

32 ounces = $3.84

1 ounce = x

Cross Multiply

x = $3.84/32

x = $0.12

For Sue

Sue paid $5.20 for 40 ounces of carrots.

40 ounces = $5.20

1 ounce = x

Cross Multiply

x = $5.20/40

x = $0.13

Who paid less per ounce?

Sarah paid less per ounce

Answer:

Sarah paid less

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah: $3.84 / 32 oz = $0.12 (she paid 12 cents per ounce)

Sue: $5.20 / 40 oz = $0.13 (She paid 13 cents per ounce)

So Sarah paid less.

Find the general solution to each of the following ODEs. Then, decide whether or not the set of solutions form a vector space. E

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(A) $y=ke^{2t}$ with $k\in\mathbb{R}$ .

(B) $y=ke^{2t}/2-1/2$ with $k\in\mathbb{R}$

(D) $y=k_1e^{2t}+k_2e^{-2t}+e^{3t}/5$ with $k_1,k_2\in\mathbb{R}$ ,

Step-by-step explanation

(A) We can see this as separation of variables or just a linear ODE of first grade, then $0=y'-2y=\frac{dy}{dt}-2y\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=2y \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2y}dy=dt \ \Rightarrow \int \frac{1}{2y}dy=\int dt \Rightarrow \ln |y|^{1/2}=t+C \Rightarrow |y|^{1/2}=e^{\ln |y|^{1/2}}=e^{t+C}=e^{C}e^t} \Rightarrow y=ke^{2t}$ . With this answer we see that the set of solutions of the ODE form a vector space over, where vectors are of the form $e^{2t}$ with $t$ real.

(B) Proceeding and the previous item, we obtain $1=y'-2y=\frac{dy}{dt}-2y\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=2y+1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2y+1}dy=dt \ \Rightarrow \int \frac{1}{2y+1}dy=\int dt \Rightarrow 1/2\ln |2y+1|=t+C \Rightarrow |2y+1|^{1/2}=e^{\ln |2y+1|^{1/2}}=e^{t+C}=e^{C}e^t \Rightarrow y=ke^{2t}/2-1/2$ . Which is not a vector space with the usual operations (this is because $-1/2$ ), in other words, if you sum two solutions you don't obtain a solution.

(C) This is a linear ODE of second grade, then if we set $y=e^{mt} \Rightarrow y''=m^2e^{mt}$ and we obtain the characteristic equation $0=y''-4y=m^2e^{mt}-4e^{mt}=(m^2-4)e^{mt}\Rightarrow m^{2}-4=0\Rightarrow m=\pm 2$ and then the general solution is $y=k_1e^{2t}+k_2e^{-2t}$ with $k_1,k_2\in\mathbb{R}$ , and as in the first items the set of solutions form a vector space.

(D) Using C, let be $y=me^{3t}$ we obtain that it must satisfies $3^2m-4m=1\Rightarrow m=1/5$ and then the general solution is $y=k_1e^{2t}+k_2e^{-2t}+e^{3t}/5$ with $k_1,k_2\in\mathbb{R}$ , and as in (B) the set of solutions does not form a vector space (same reason! as in (B)).
