OpenStudy (studygurl14):

which one?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Number 7

@StudyGurl14 @AloneS @Directrix

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

So you bascially want to take the integral twice. Is that what you did?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

\[25y''+40y'+16y=0\] with the Initial Values of y(0)=7, y'(0)=0

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Um, no. what do you mean by take the integral twice?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

The initial problem, and they show y'', meaning they had found the second derivative. They want you to basically undo that, meaning you need to take the integral twice.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

\[25r^2+40r+16=0 \rightarrow (5r+4)^2 \rightarrow r=-\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\] \[y=C_1e^{\frac{ -4t }{ 5 }}+C_2te^{\frac{ -4t}{ 5 }}\] Thats what i did.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

I plugged it into to the formula.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Wait no, sorry. I think I misread the question. Hold on asec

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

@StudyGurl14 Okay

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Hmm...I think this is outside my expertise..it looks familar but I'm not 100% sure. Sorry @mathmate @mathstudent55 @zepdrix @Directrix

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Okie.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

When i plug in the initial values, C_2 always becomes 0, and i cant find it.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

you've got repeated roots So you have a solution in \(\large y=e^{\frac{ -4t }{ 5 }}( A t + B)\)

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

this really a linear algebra issue i know it best as this, using the differential (linear) operator: |dw:1476994123058:dw|

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Well, isn't that what i technically did?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@iTz_Sid Just a reminder, when you finish and put your answer, remember the independent variable is x, NOT t. Also you have got B correctly, but you still need to find A using the condition y'(0)=0.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

oh!! i'm sorry :-) i didn't read it properly, again. yes, you did that. and you're plugging stuff into solved DE's. fine. i'd follow @mathmate's counsel.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

@mathmate @IrishBoy123 After plugging in in y(0) = 7 \[7=C_1e^0+C_2(0)e^0 \rightarrow C_1 = 7\]

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

yes

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

And then after taking the Derivative... \[y' = (7)(\frac{ -4 }{ 5 }) e^{-4/5}+C_2\frac{ -4t }{ 5 }e^{-4/5} \rightarrow y' =(\frac{ -28 }{ 5 }) e^{-4/5}+C_2\frac{ -4t }{ 5 }e^{-4/5}\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oops. there is suppose to be a variable in the exponent. \[y' = (\frac{ -28 }{ 5 }) e^{-4t/5}+C_2\frac{ -4t }{ 5 }e^{-4t/5}\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

And after plugging in y'(0)=0 \[0 =(\frac{ -28 }{ 5 }) e^0+C_2\frac{ -4(0) }{ 5 }e^{0}\] \[0=\frac{ -28 }{ 5 }\] Which makes no sense. See?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

@Nnesha @zepdrix @IrishBoy123

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Wait... i figured it out. I forgot to do product rule when taking the derivative...

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

👌

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Good, so what do you get for C1 and C2? Once you have C1 and C2, then the best next step is to verify that: 1. f(0)=7 2. f'(0)=0 3. 25y''+40y'+16y=0
