The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Number of entries in the trifecta race = 9

The win is to select the first finisher, second finisher and third finisher in their proper order.

We need to find the number of tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win

Step 2 :

Number of ways to select the first finisher = 9

Number of ways to select the second finisher = 8 [the first is selected and fixed. So the number of available finishes is reduced by 1]

Number of ways to select the third finisher = 7

Hence the total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win = 9 × 8 × 7 = 504

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the given differential equation. Use reduction of order or formula (5) in Section
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y1 = e^(4x) is a solution to the differential equation

y'' - 8y' + 16y = 0

We want to find the second solution y2 of the equation using the method of reduction of order.

Let

y2 = uy1

Because y2 is a solution to the differential equation, it satisfies

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 = 0

y2 = ue^(4x)

y2' = u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)

y2'' = u''e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

= u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)

Using these,

y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 =

[u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)] - 8[u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)] + 16ue^(4x) = 0

u''e^(4x) = 0

Let w = u', then w' = u''

w'e^(4x) = 0

w' = 0

Integrating this, we have

w = C1

But w = u'

u' = C1

Integrating again, we have

u = C1x

But y2 = ue^(4x)

y2 = C1xe^(4x)

And this is the second solution

Select all the pairs that could be reasonable approximations for the diameter and circumference of a cirlce 5 meters and 22 mete
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Option a) circle 5 meters and 22 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A pair of diameter and the circumference is given. We have to find a correct approximations for the diameter and circumference.

a) circle 5 meters and 22 meters

\text{Diameter} = 5\text{ meters}\\\text{Circumference} = \pi d = 3.14\times 5 = 15.7\text{ meters}

b) 19 inches and 50 inches

\text{Diameter} = 19\text{ inches}\\\text{Circumference} = \pi d = 3.14\times 19 = 59.66\text{ inches}

c) 33 centimeters and 80 centimeters

\text{Diameter} = 33\text{ centimeters}\\\text{Circumference} = \pi d = 3.14\times 33 =103.62\text{ centimeters}

Thus, no pair gives a reasonable approximation. Only the circle with diameter 5 and circumference 22 meters have closest approximation.
