Answer:

the answer would be anything between 0-119 because any of these numbers minus 20 is still less than 100

Used use euler's method with step size 0.1 to estimate y(0.5), where y(x) is the solution of the initial-value problem y ' = y +

brilliants [131]

We want to solve the Initial Value Problem y' = y + 4xy, with y(0) = 1.

To use Euler's method, define
y(i+1) = y(i) + hy'(i), for i=0,1,2, ...,
where
h = 0.1, the step size.,
x(i) = i*h

1st step.
y(0) = 1 (given) and x(0) = 0.
y(1) ≡ y(0.1) = y(0) + h*[4*x(0)*y(0)] = 1

2nd step.
x(1) = 0.1
y(2) ≡ y(0.2) = y(1) + h*[4*x(1)*y(1)] = 1 + 0.1*(4*0.1*1) = 1.04

3rd step.
x(2) = 0.2
y(3) ≡ y(0.3) = y(2) + h*[4*x(2)*y(2)] = 1.04 + 0.1*(4*0.2*1.04) = 1.1232

4th step.
x(3) = 0.3
y(4) ≡ y(0.4) = y(3) + h*[4*x(3)*y(3)] = 1.1232 + 0.1*(4*0.3*1.1232) = 1.258

5th step.
x(4) = 0.4
y(5) ≡ y(0.5) = y(4) + h*[4*x(4)*y(4)] = 1.258 + 0.1*(4*0.4*1.258) = 1.4593

Answer: y(0.5) = 1.4593

Consider the system:

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have the following linear equations:

y=3x+5

y=ax+b

We know that a linear equation is an equation for a line. In a system of linear equations, two or more equations work together.

1. What values for a and b make the system inconsistent?

A system is inconsistent if and only if the lines are parallel in which case the system has no solution. This is illustrated in the first Figure bellow. Two lines are parallel if they share the same slope. So, the system is inconsistent for:

a=3

for any value of b

2. What values for a and b make the system consistent and dependent?

A system is consistent if and only if the lines are the same in which case the system has infinitely many solutions. This is illustrated in the second Figure bellow. So, the system is consistent and dependent for:

a=3 and b=5
