Simply divide your wire by 12 and cut off the excess (as it cannot make a full 12-inch section).
27

÷12=2

So you have two 12-inch sections and an additional 3.4-inch section.
Answer:
The required position of the particle at time t is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided matrix.



The general solution of the equation 

Substitute the respective values we get:


Substitute initial condition 

Reduce matrix to reduced row echelon form.

Therefore, 
Thus, the general solution of the equation 


The required position of the particle at time t is: 
10 minutes. You see the dip or the part of the graph where it's lower than the other points? Look at how many minutes went past.
The first one is negative six and the second one is positive six
This isn't the same problem but it's an idea. of what you're doing.
