Is there any options?

The shorter piece is 37 inches long, use the equation 5x+x=222, solve the shorter piece is 37 inches and the longer piece is 185 inches.

If a = 7 - 4√3, find the value of a + 1/a

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate a+1/a, we first need to calculate for a.

a = 7 - 4 * $\sqrt[2]{3}$

square root of 3 = 1.73

a = 7 - 4 * 1.73

a = 7 - 6.9

a = 0.1

0.1 + 1 / 0.1 = 0.1 + 10 = 10.1

Now, in case 4 wasn't being multiplied with the square root of 3, and instead, it was four root of 3, I am gonna do the calculations again:

a = 7 - $\sqrt[4]{3}$

a = 7 - 1.31

a = 5.69

5.69 + 1 / 5.69 = 5.69 + 0.17 = 5.86

Hope I Helped!

Consider the initial value problem y′+5y=⎧⎩⎨⎪⎪0110 if 0≤t<3 if 3≤t<5 if 5≤t<[infinity],y(0)=4. y′+5y={0 if 0≤t<311 i

rosijanka [135]

It looks like the ODE is

$y'+5y=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }0\le t$

with the initial condition of $y(0)=4$ .

Rewrite the right side in terms of the unit step function,

$u(t-c)=\begin{cases}1&\text{for }t\ge c\\0&\text{for }t$

In this case, we have

$\begin{cases}0&\text{for }0\le t$

The Laplace transform of the step function is easy to compute:

$\displaystyle\int_0^\infty u(t-c)e^{-st}\,\mathrm dt=\int_c^\infty e^{-st}\,\mathrm dt=\frac{e^{-cs}}s$

So, taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the ODE, we get

$sY(s)-y(0)+5Y(s)=\dfrac{e^{-3s}-e^{-5s}}s$

Solve for $Y(s)$ :

$(s+5)Y(s)-4=\dfrac{e^{-3s}-e^{-5s}}s\implies Y(s)=\dfrac{e^{-3s}-e^{-5s}}{s(s+5)}+\dfrac4{s+5}$

We can split the first term into partial fractions:

$\dfrac1{s(s+5)}=\dfrac as+\dfrac b{s+5}\implies1=a(s+5)+bs$

If $s=0$ , then $1=5a\implies a=\frac15$ .

If $s=-5$ , then $1=-5b\implies b=-\frac15$ .

$\implies Y(s)=\dfrac{e^{-3s}-e^{-5s}}5\left(\frac1s-\frac1{s+5}\right)+\dfrac4{s+5}$

$\implies Y(s)=\dfrac15\left(\dfrac{e^{-3s}}s-\dfrac{e^{-3s}}{s+5}-\dfrac{e^{-5s}}s+\dfrac{e^{-5s}}{s+5}\right)+\dfrac4{s+5}$

Take the inverse transform of both sides, recalling that

$Y(s)=e^{-cs}F(s)\implies y(t)=u(t-c)f(t-c)$

where $F(s)$ is the Laplace transform of the function $f(t)$ . We have

$F(s)=\dfrac1s\implies f(t)=1$

$F(s)=\dfrac1{s+5}\implies f(t)=e^{-5t}$

We then end up with

$y(t)=\dfrac{u(t-3)(1-e^{-5t})-u(t-5)(1-e^{-5t})}5+5e^{-5t}$
