Answer:

x=2 true solution

x=-3 extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x+7) -1 = x

Add 1 to each side

sqrt(x+7) -1+1 = x+1

sqrt(x+7) = x+1

Square each side

(sqrt(x+7))^2 = (x+1)^2

x+7 = x^2 +2x+1

Subtract x from each side

7 = x^2 +x +1

Subtract 7 from each side

0 = x^2 +x - 6

Factor

0 = (x+3)(x-2)

Using the zero product property

x+3 = 0 x-2 =0

x=-3 x=2

Check solutions

x=-3

sqrt(-3+7) -1 = -3

sqrt(4) -1 = -3

3 =-3 extraneous

x=2

sqrt(2+7) -1 = 2

sqrt(9) -1 = 2

3 -1 =2

2 =2 true

Please help me. I am so stuck.<br>

Answer:

Converges to -25.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} -5 \cdot (\frac{4}{5})^{k-1}$ converges since $r=\frac{4}{5}$ .

The sum is given by $\frac{a_1}{1-r}$ where $a_1$ is -5.

$\frac{-5}{1-\frac{4}{5}}=\frac{-5}{\frac{1}{5}}=-5(5)=-25$ .

Use the variation of parameters method to solve the DR y" + y' - 2y = 1

postnew [5]

Answer:

$y(t)\ =\ C_1e^{-2t}+C_2e^t-t\dfrac{e^{-2t}}{3}-\dfrac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in question, we have to find the solution of differential equation

$y"+y'-2y=1$

by using the variation in parameter method.

From the above equation, the characteristics equation can be given by

$D^2+D-2\ =\ 0$

$=>D=\ \dfrac{-1+\sqrt{1^2+4\times 2\times 1}}{2\times 1}\ or\ \dfrac{-1-\sqrt{1^2+4\times 2\times 1}}{2\times 1}$

$=>\ D=\ -2\ or\ 1$

Since, the roots of characteristics equation are real and distinct, so the complementary function of the differential equation can be by

$y_c(t)\ =\ C_1e^{-2t}+C_2e^t$

Let's assume that

$y_1(t)=e^{-2t}$ $y_2(t)=e^t$

$=>\ y'_1(t)=-2e^{-2t}$ $y'_2(t)=e^t$

and g(t)=1

Now, the Wronskian can be given by

$W=y_1(t).y'_2(t)-y'_1(t).y_2(t)$

$=e^{-2t}.e^t-e^t(-e^{-2t})$

$=e^{-t}+2e^{-t}$

$=3e^{-t}$

Now, the particular solution can be given by

$y_p(t)\ =\ -y_1(t)\int{\dfrac{y_2(t).g(t)}{W}dt}+y_2(t)\int{\dfrac{y_1(t).g(t)}{W}dt}$

$=\ -e^{-2t}\int{\dfrac{e^t.1}{3.e^{-t}}dt}+e^{t}\int{\dfrac{e^{-2t}.1}{3.e^{-t}}dt}$

$=\ -e^{-2t}\int{\dfrac{1}{3}dt}+\dfrac{e^t}{3}\int{e^{-t}dt}$

$=\dfrac{-e^{-2t}}{3}.t-\dfrac{1}{3}$

$=-t\dfrac{e^{-2t}}{3}-\dfrac{1}{3}$

Now, the complete solution of the given differential equation can be given by

$y(t)\ =\ y_c(t)+y_p(t)$

$=C_1e^{-2t}+C_2e^t-t\dfrac{e^{-2t}}{3}-\dfrac{1}{3}$
