Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2-8x-5=0

The discriminant is the number under the √. In this case it's 144

Answer:

\Delta=144

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic in standard form, the discriminant is given by:

\Delta=b^2-4ac

We have the equation:

4x^2-8x-5=0

Hence, our a=4; b=-8; and c=-5.

Substituting into our formula, we acquire:

\Delta=(-8)^2-4(4)(-5)

Evaluate:

\Delta=64+80

Add:

\Delta=144

Therefore, our discriminant is 144.

Notes:

Since our discriminant is a positive value, this tells us that our quadratic has two real roots.

Use the Laplace transform to solve the given initial value problem. y' + 6y = e^4t ; y(0)=2 ...?
TiliK225 [7]
Performing laplace transform of the equation.

sY(s) - y(0) + 6Y(s) = 1/(s-4)
(s+6)Y(s) - 2 = 1/(s-4)
Y(s) = 2/(s+6) + 1/(s-4)(s+6), by partial fraction decomposition
Y(s) = 2/(s+6) + 1/10 * (1/(s-4) + 1/(s+6))
Y(s) = 0.1/(s-4) + 2.1/(s+6)

Performing inverse laplace transform,
y(t) = 0.1e^4t + 2.1e^(-6t)
