MTH-075 Practice Test #5 Answers

Answers to MTH-075 Practice Test 5
(Note: Answers are written on one line, so use PEMDAS to interpret.
If multiplication occurs after a division slash, it is still done before the division.)

2.    C
3.    B
4.    A
5.    D

Diff Eq's: Solutions to Problems in Section 4.4

Here are solutions to problems #1-17 odd in Section 4.4 where we solve non-homogeneous linear DEs with constant coefficients, where the forcing functions are sums and products of polynomials, exponentials, and sine and cosine. The last few involve a great deal of bookkeeping to determine the coefficients.

Note that in #15, the forcing function has the same frequency as the natural frequency gotten from solving for the complementary solution. Therefore, you might have guessed the particular solution to be of the form x(A cos ωx + B sin ωx), but if you tried it, you found it didn't work. It would have worked if the forcing function weren't already multiplied by x. Since it is, we must instead propose a particular function with both sine and cosine multiplied by 2nd order polynomials with undetermined coefficients. (Actually, you could always err on the side of caution and propose higher order polynomial multiples. That would be a lot of useless busy-work, though, in cases where we can be sure of the order of the polynomial in the solution.)

MTH075 Practice Test 2 -

Answers:
1) 3(-4)+5(2)=-2? yes
2) B
3) (0, -4),(4, 0),(8,4) (Then plot these points and draw a straight line though them.)
4) (0, -3),(3,3),(-3,-9) (Then plot these points and draw a straight line though them.)
5) A
6) Make an x|y table and fill in at least two points in it. Easiest are the intercepts, (4,0) and (0,4). Then plot these points and draw a straight line though them.
7) Ditto, except the intercepts are (0,4) and (-8,0).
8) Vertical line through x=3.
9) You don't need help with this, I hope!
10) -7/6
11) 0
12) B
13) C
14) A
15) C
16) y = (5/2)x - 2
17) y = (3/4)x
18) Dashed horizontal line through y = 4, everything below it shaded.
19) Solid diagonal line through the origin with slope of 3, everything to the left of it shaded.
20) Solid diagonal line through the points (0, 4) and (3, 0), everything to the left of it shaded.
