Answers:

a = -6/37

b = -1/37

============================================================

Explanation:

Let's start things off by computing the derivatives we'll need

y = a\sin(x) + b\cos(x)\\\\y' = a\cos(x) - b\sin(x)\\\\y'' = -a\sin(x) - b\cos(x)\\\\

Apply substitution to get

y'' + y' - 5y = \sin(x)\\\\\left(-a\sin(x) - b\cos(x)\right) + \left(a\cos(x) - b\sin(x)\right) - 5\left(a\sin(x) + b\cos(x)\right) = \sin(x)\\\\-a\sin(x) - b\cos(x) + a\cos(x) - b\sin(x) - 5a\sin(x) - 5b\cos(x) = \sin(x)\\\\\left(-a\sin(x) - b\sin(x) - 5a\sin(x)\right)  + \left(- b\cos(x) + a\cos(x) - 5b\cos(x)\right) = \sin(x)\\\\\left(-a - b - 5a\right)\sin(x)  + \left(- b + a - 5b\right)\cos(x) = \sin(x)\\\\\left(-6a - b\right)\sin(x)  + \left(a - 6b\right)\cos(x) = \sin(x)\\\\

I've factored things in such a way that we have something in the form Msin(x) + Ncos(x), where M and N are coefficients based on the constants a,b.

The right hand side is simply sin(x). So we want that cos(x) term to go away. To do so, we need the coefficient (a-6b) in front of that cosine to be zero

a-6b = 0

a = 6b

At the same time, we want the (-6a-b)sin(x) term to have its coefficient be 1. That way we simplify the left hand side to sin(x)

-6a  -b = 1

-6(6b) - b = 1 .... plug in a = 6b

-36b - b = 1

-37b = 1

b = -1/37

Use this to find 'a'

a = 6b

a = 6(-1/37)

a = -6/37

Manny can assemble a computer by himself in 50 minutes. Lucy does the same job in 45 minutes. How long will it take to assemble
jonny [76]
Manny can assemble a computer in 50 minutes. That means, in a minute Manny does \frac{1}{50} job.

Lucy can assemble a computer in 45 minutes. That means, in a minute Lucy does \frac{1}{45} job.

If they are working together, in a minute they will do:
\dfrac{1}{50} + \dfrac{1}{45}
= \dfrac{9}{450} + \dfrac{10}{450} \text{(equalize the denominator)}
=\dfrac{19}{450}
In a minute they will do \frac{19}{450} job

To finish the job they will do it in \frac{450}{19} minutes or about 24 minutes.

PLEASE HELP IM CONFUSED! Find what the measurements of angles a-c are and state the reason
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

<a = 90°   (180-90 supplementary angle)

<b = 90°   (180-90 supplementary angle)

<d = 48°   (180-132 supplementary angle)

<e = 132°  (opposite angle)

<c = 42°     (interior angles of a triangle equal 180.  180-48-90=42)

Step-by-step explanation:

<a = 90°   (180-90 supplementary angle)

<b = 90°   (180-90 supplementary angle)

<d = 48°   (180-132 supplementary angle)

<e = 132°  (opposite angle)

<c = 42°     (interior angles of a triangle equal 180.  180-48-90=42)
