4 muffins is $2.75
4*3=12
1 dozen is 12

2.75 * 3 =$ 8.25

$8.25 4 muffins are for 2.75 and 4*3 is 12 so basically you could just do 2.75*3

Find the solution of the given initial value problem: y''- y = 0, y(0) = 2, y'(0) = -1/2

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: The required solution of the given IVP is

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution of the following initial value problem :

$y^{\prime\prime}-y=0,~~~y(0)=2,~~y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Let $y=e^{mx}$ be an auxiliary solution of the given differential equation.

Then, we have

$y^\prime=me^{mx},~~~~~y^{\prime\prime}=m^2e^{mx}.$

Substituting these values in the given differential equation, we have

$m^2e^{mx}-e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow (m^2-1)e^{mx}=0\\\\\Rightarrow m^2-1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{since }e^{mx}\neq0]\\\\\Rightarrow m^2=1\\\\\Rightarrow m=\pm1.$

So, the general solution of the given equation is

$y(x)=Ae^x+Be^{-x},$ where A and B are constants.

This gives, after differentiating with respect to x that

$y^\prime(x)=Ae^x-Be^{-x}.$

The given conditions implies that

$y(0)=2\\\\\Rightarrow A+B=2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

and

$y^\prime(0)=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A-B=-\dfrac{1}{2}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

$2A=2-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2A=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3}{4}.$

From equation (i), we get

$\dfrac{3}{4}+B=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=2-\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{5}{4}.$

Substituting the values of A and B in the general solution, we get

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

Thus, the required solution of the given IVP is

$y(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}e^x+\dfrac{5}{4}e^{-x}.$

The Sureset Concrete Company produces concrete. Two ingredients in concrete are sand (costs $6 per ton) and gravel (costs $8 per

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The Sureset Concrete Company

The tons of gravel and sand that should be purchased each day are:

Sand = 800 tons

Gravel = 700 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ingredients for producing concrete = sand and gravel

Cost of sand per ton = $6

Cost of gravel per ton = $8

Sand and gravel = 75% of the concrete

Therefore 25% (100 - 75%) will be made up of cement and water

Tons of concrete produced each day = 2,000

Sand and gravel = 1,500 (2,000 * 75%)

Sand <= 40% of 2,000 = 800 tons

Gravel => 30% of 2,000 = 700 (1,500 - 800) tons

To minimize costs, 800 tons of gravel and 700 tons of sand should be purchased each day.

Total cost incurred daily for both sand and gravel = $10,400 (800 * $6 + 700 * $8)
