Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to draw a horizontal line from the bottom of the ladder to the bottom of the tree and then draw a vertical line from the bottom of the tree to the top of the ladder, we'd get a right triangle with legs as the distance between the bottom of the tree and the bottom of the ladder and the height of the ladder, and the hypotenuse is the length.

Here, we know the hypotenuse is 10 feet and that the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree, so use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height:

h = \sqrt{10^2-4^2} =\sqrt{84} ≈ 9.2 feet

The answer is C.

Answer:

9.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the ground and the tree

10² = 4² + h²

h² = 100 - 16

h² = 84

h = 9.16515139

Write the given differential equation in the form L(y) = g(x), where L is a linear differential operator with constant coefficie
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The complete solution is

\therefore y= Ae^{3x}+Be^{-\frac13 x}-\frac43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given differential equation is

3y"- 8y' - 3y =4

The trial solution is

y = e^{mx}

Differentiating with respect to x

y'= me^{mx}

Again differentiating with respect to x

y''= m ^2 e^{mx}

Putting the value of y, y' and y'' in left side of the differential equation

3m^2e^{mx}-8m e^{mx}- 3e^{mx}=0

\Rightarrow 3m^2-8m-3=0

The auxiliary equation is

3m^2-8m-3=0

\Rightarrow 3m^2 -9m+m-3m=0

\Rightarrow 3m(m-3)+1(m-3)=0

\Rightarrow (3m+1)(m-3)=0

\Rightarrow m = 3, -\frac13

The complementary function is

y= Ae^{3x}+Be^{-\frac13 x}

y''= D², y' = D

The given differential equation is

(3D²-8D-3D)y =4

⇒(3D+1)(D-3)y =4

Since the linear operation is

L(D) ≡ (3D+1)(D-3)    

For particular integral

y_p=\frac 1{(3D+1)(D-3)} .4

    =4.\frac 1{(3D+1)(D-3)} .e^{0.x}    [since e^{0.x}=1]

   =4\frac{1}{(3.0+1)(0-3)}      [ replace D by 0 , since L(0)≠0]

   =-\frac43

The complete solution is

y= C.F+P.I

\therefore y= Ae^{3x}+Be^{-\frac13 x}-\frac43
