Let m and h represent hours Mai spends mowing and hauling, respectively. Then (m+h) will be the number of hours Priya spends babysitting. In order for their earnings to be equal, we must have

7m +14h = 8.40(m+h)

Subtract 7m+8.40h: 5.60h = 1.40m

Divide by 1.40: m = 4h

Then the total number of hours worked by either person is

m + h = (4h) +h = 5h

When only whole numbers of hours are worked, the smallest number of hours that will make earnings equal is 5h, with h=1, or 5 hours. In that time, each will earn 5×$8.40 = $42.

Therefore, each of them must work 5 hours and earn $42 before they go to the movies and Mai will work 4 hours mowing and 1 hour hauling.

Answer: they worked 11 hours in total. (Mai works 6 hours and Priya works 5 hours) they will have earned $98. Without adding the extra $14 it’s $84.

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)

Write an exponential equation in the form y = ab* whose graph passes through points (2, 18) and (5, 60.75).

DochEvi [55]

Let $y=ab^x,$ as described in the problem statement. Plugging in $x=2$ and $x=5$ gives us the equations $18=ab^2$ and $60.75=ab^5.$ Since $a,b$ are nonzero, we divide the second equation by the first to get $\frac{27}{8}=b^3,$ which means that $b=\frac{3}{2},$ after taking the cube root. Plugging this value for $b$ into the first equation, we now have $18=a(3/2)^2=\frac{9a}{4}.$ Solving gives $a=8,$ and our desired exponential equation is $\boxed{y=8\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^x}.$
