Answer:
40 1/2 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Quantity of biscuits the Jones eats daily = 2/3 of a packet
Total packets of biscuits = 27 packets
How long will 27 packets last the family?
= Total packets of biscuits / daily intake of biscuits of the Jones
= 27 ÷ 2/3
= 27 × 3/2
= 81 / 2
= 40 1/2 days
Answer:
72 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected winnings is the amount times the probability that you will get that amount.
2,000 * (1/10,000) = 2,000 / 10,000 = 2 / 10 = 0.2.
700 * (4 / 10,000) = 2,800 / 10,000 = 28 / 100 = 0.28.
300 * (8 / 10,000) = 2,400 / 10,000 = 24 / 100 = 0.24.
0.2 + 0.28 + 0.24 = 0.72.
Hope this helps!
The greatest common factor is 2
Take the homogeneous part and find the roots to the characteristic equation:

This means the characteristic solution is

.
Since the characteristic solution already contains both functions on the RHS of the ODE, you could try finding a solution via the method of undetermined coefficients of the form

. Finding the second derivative involves quite a few applications of the product rule, so I'll resort to a different method via variation of parameters.
With

and

, you're looking for a particular solution of the form

. The functions

satisfy


where

is the Wronskian determinant of the two characteristic solutions.

So you have




So you end up with a solution

but since

is already accounted for in the characteristic solution, the particular solution is then

so that the general solution is
