Use the variation of parameters formula to find the general solution of the system x' (t) = ax(t) +f(t), where a and f(t) are given:
a = [ 8 -4 ] f(t) = [ t^-2 / 2 ]
[ 4 -2 ] [ t^-2 ]
fyi: a and f(t) are both matrices

207/8 is the right

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
