Answer:

  • 4⁴/7³ or 256/343

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given GP with </u>

  • a₄ = 4
  • a₅ = 7
  • a₁ = ?

<u>Let the common difference is r, then</u>

  • a₅ = a₄r
  • a₁r³ = 4
  • a₁r⁴ = 7

<u>Solve for r and then a₁:</u>

  • 4r = 7 ⇒ r = 7/4
  • a₁(7/4)³ = 4
  • a₁ = 4*(4/7)³ = 4⁴/7³ = 256/343

Solve the given differential equation by undetermined coefficients. y'' 4y = 7 sin(2x)
kherson [118]

The solution to the given differential equation is yp=−14xcos(2x)

The characteristic equation for this differential equation is:

P(s)=s2+4

The roots of the characteristic equation are:

s=±2i

Therefore, the homogeneous solution is:

yh=c1sin(2x)+c2cos(2x)

Notice that the forcing function has the same angular frequency as the homogeneous solution. In this case, we have resonance. The particular solution will have the form:

yp=Axsin(2x)+Bxcos(2x)

If you take the second derivative of the equation above for  yp , and then substitute that result,  y′′p , along with equation for  yp  above, into the left-hand side of the original differential equation, and then simultaneously solve for the values of A and B that make the left-hand side of the differential equation equal to the forcing function on the right-hand side,  sin(2x) , you will find:

A=0

B=−14

Therefore,

yp=−14xcos(2x)

GUYS PLEASE HELP
Volgvan

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you can do 6 flyers each minute, the rate would go at 6x, with x being minutes. You initially did 80, so the equation for you would be y=6x+80.

Your friend's equation would be y=4x+100, because he initially had 100 done and is now getting 4 done per minute.

If you put the 2 equations in your calculator, the intersection will happen at x=10, showing that you and your friend will have an equal number of flyers at 10 minutes.

Find a solution to the linear equation 14x−y=−14 by filling in the boxes with a valid value of x and y.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

28x=y

Step-by-step explanation:

28x=y because 14x-y=-14 plus y on both sides=

14x=-14y then add 14 to both sides=

28x=y
