Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.
<u>The given line has a slope of:</u>
<u>The perpendicular slope is:</u>
<u>And its y-intercept is:</u>
<u>The line is:</u>
<u>Convert this into standard form and compare with answer choices:</u>
- 3y = 2x + 21
- - 2x + 3y = 21
Correct choice is A
The function f(x) is a function of the variable x.
To solve the function for x = 30, just plug in 30 for x.
14 - 0.5(30) = -1
f(30) = -1
First look for the fundamental solutions by solving the homogeneous version of the ODE:

The characteristic equation is

with roots
and
, giving the two solutions
and
.
For the non-homogeneous version, you can exploit the superposition principle and consider one term from the right side at a time.

Assume the ansatz solution,



(You could include a constant term <em>f</em> here, but it would get absorbed by the first solution
anyway.)
Substitute these into the ODE:




is already accounted for, so assume an ansatz of the form



Substitute into the ODE:





Assume an ansatz solution



Substitute into the ODE:



So, the general solution of the original ODE is

($3.91)(0.09) = $0.3519
$3.91 + 0.3519 = $4.2619 per gallon
if you're looking for the total expense next year:
($4.2619)(370 gallons) = $1,576.903
7 is 1/10 of.. 70, because 10 times 7 is 70 :)
