Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Use Definition 7.1.1, DEFINITION 7.1.1 Laplace Transform Let f be a function defined for t ≥ 0. Then the integral ℒ{f(t)} = ∞ e−

poizon [28]

$f(t)=\begin{cases}\cos t&\text{for }0\le t$

The Laplace transform is then

$\mathcal L_s\{f(t)\}=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty f(t)e^{-st}\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^\pi e^{-st}\cos t\,\mathrm dt$

Let $I$ denote the integral we want to compute. Integrating by parts, setting

$u=e^{-st}\implies\mathrm du=-se^{-st}\,\mathrm dt$

$\mathrm dv=\cos t\,\mathrm dt\implies v=\sin t$

gives

$\displaystyle I=e^{-st}\sin t\bigg|_{t=0}^{t=\pi}+s\int_0^\pi e^{-st}\sin t\,\mathrm dt$

Integrate by parts again, setting

$u=e^{-st}\implies\mathrm du=-se^{-st}\,\mathrm dt$

$\mathrm dv=\sin t\,\mathrm dt\implies v=-\cos t$

Then

$\displaystyle I=e^{-st}\sin t\bigg|_{t=0}^{t=\pi}+s\left(-e^{-st}\cos t\bigg|_{t=0}^{t=\pi}-s\int_0^\pi e^{-st}\cos t\,\mathrm dt\right)$

$I=e^{-st}(\sin t-s\cos t)\bigg|_{t=0}^{t=\pi}-s^2I$

$(s^2+1)I=s(e^{-\pi s}+1)$

$I=\dfrac s{s^2+1}(e^{-\pi s}+1)$
