The graph in the question is missing.
Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is cubic
It has roots as -4, -4 , 6
this means the value of x = -4, -4 , 6 which makes the entire equation zero
so we have solutions as
x+4 = 0
x+4 = 0
x- 6 = 0
on forming a cubic equation using these
(x+4)(x+4)(x-6)
the equation passes through (2,36)
put x = 2
(2+4)(2+4)(2-6) = (6)*(6)*(-4)
which exceeds 36 so we product the equation with -1/4 to get 36
Final equation
y = 
y = 
Answer:
49 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the value of the 8 in 281,480,100
Let's find the place value of each of the numbers:
2 - hundred millions
8 - ten millions
1 - millions
4 - hundred thousands
8 - ten thousands
0 - thousands
1 - hundreds
0 - tens
0 - ones
I see there are two 8's so I wouldn't be too sure of which value to find, but just in case, we have the chart made above for place values.
There is one 8 at the ten millions value.
There is one 8 at the ten thousands value.
Take the homogeneous part and find the roots to the characteristic equation:

This means the characteristic solution is

.
Since the characteristic solution already contains both functions on the RHS of the ODE, you could try finding a solution via the method of undetermined coefficients of the form

. Finding the second derivative involves quite a few applications of the product rule, so I'll resort to a different method via variation of parameters.
With

and

, you're looking for a particular solution of the form

. The functions

satisfy


where

is the Wronskian determinant of the two characteristic solutions.

So you have




So you end up with a solution

but since

is already accounted for in the characteristic solution, the particular solution is then

so that the general solution is
